Robert Taylor: 5 Loners & Introverts Who Changed History
Mencken-Rand-Tesla-Mises-Solzhenitsyn. In a time dominated by flashes of celebrity, screaming talking heads on
TV, and cities that don’t sleep, introverts and loners have few places
to fit in. But as Laurie Helgoe argues in Psychology Today, those that are slightly uncomfortable with a noisy culture often have the biggest impact on society. ... MOREBrendan Greenley: David Brat Is A True Ayn Rand Acolyte
It’s been a long time since I read Atlas Shrugged. I didn’t finish it. In my defense, I was 19, and I think we can all agree that the book doesn’t succeed as a novel, in the way that when you open a novel you expect characters and a plot. But I’ve been curious, given the increased prominence of the book since 2010, how in this ... MOREMatt Kibbe: 'You Can't Have Freedom for Free'
On Rush, Ayn Rand, and Not Compromising. In 1977, I bought my first Rush album. I was 13. The title of the disc was 2112, and the foldout jacket had a very cool and ominous red star on the cover. As soon as I got it home from the store, I carefully placed that vinyl record onto the felt-padded turntable of my parents’ old Motorola console ... MOREAtlas Shrugged Part III: Who Is John Galt?
by Brian Doherty. A labor of love over money. John Aglialoro is a businessman, and a very successful one, named by Fortune magazine in 2007 as the 10th richest small business executive in the country. But his latest project is, he says, about “love.” It’s the film Atlas Shrugged III: Who is
John Galt?, the conclusion of a trilogy of movies based ... MORECraig Biddle: What Is Objectivism?
The philosophy of reason, egoism and capitalism. It is widely believed today that our moral, cultural, and political
alternatives are limited either to the ideas of the secular,
relativistic left—or to those of the religious, absolutist right—or to
some compromised mixture of the two. In other words, one’s ideas are
supposedly either ... MOREObama’s SOTU Brings Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged to Life
by George Rasley. President Obama’s State of the Union address skillfully glossed over just what a sorry state the Union is in these days. Obama’s address, full of deceit and the obfuscation of any facts at odds with his hard-left secular agenda, stands out in its repetition of the threat to act without Congress as perhaps the most anti-democratic ... MORENick Gillespie: Ayn Rand Would Have Loved Kickstarter
The ultimate in 'value-for-value'. What does it mean that the makers of the final installment of a
three-part film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s controversial 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged are asking for donations at the crowdfunding site Kickstarter? Isn’t that the book where characters pledge to “never live for the sake of another man, to live ... MOREGive Back? It's Time For The 99% To Give Back To The 1%
by Harry Binswanger. It’s time to gore another collectivist sacred cow. This time it’s the
popular idea that the successful are obliged to “give back to the
community.” That oft-heard claim assumes that the wealth of high-earners
is taken away from “the community.” And beneath that lies the perverted
Marxist notion that wealth is accumulated ... MORE
