We're not living under tyranny. We voted for it. One regulation at a time. One crisis at a time. One "common-sense reform" at a time.

Directive 10-289 isn't coming. It's already here. We just built it ourselves and called it progress.

The cage has no walls because the walls are everywhere. And most people will thank them for formalising it.

Directive 10-289 in Real Time: How Fiction Became Our Operating System

The greatest trick the Unification Board ever pulled was convincing us it doesn't exist. Each click of the ratchet is progress rather than constriction.

A #review of the #book “Ayn Rand: Writing A Gospel Of Success” by Alexandra Popoff that is more of a commentary on #AynRand than a #BookReview:

Atlas Schlepped - Jewish Review of Books

Ayn Rand imagined that her romantic prose soared, but it barely schlepped along.

Jewish Review of Books

One of the things that "Atlas Shrugged" left me with is calling the aesthetics of Art Deco "Taggartian," after Dagny Taggart, the main character of the book. We regularly use it with my wife. Other than that, luckily, the book left me largely unscathed.

Wild Speculation...

What if the guys who made the #AtlasShrugged #movies were trying to pull a "Springtime for Hitler" scam, like in #TheProducers, and succeeded because they didn't hire Lorenzo to play John Galt?

This theory assumes they were film-literate enough to have seen and understood The Producers, and is thus incompatible with the predominant theory that they simply did not understand enough to make a good movie based on #AynRand's already wild and unrealistic scifi fantasy plot.

🤔💡 Wow, an article on how *not* reading a book still provides profound insights! Apparently, the title alone of "Atlas Shrugged" is enough to spark a lifetime of reflection. 📚🙄 Who needs to actually read when you’ve mastered the art of *judging* by the cover? 🤷‍♂️

I read Ann Rand’s novel, the Fountain Head, in High School and loved it.  I had intended to go on and read the book she wrote after that, Atlas Shrugged, but just never got around to it. …

Där fick jag äntligen anledningen till att öppna och läsa #AtlasShrugged - som stått och väntat i bokhyllan 2-3 år.

Så bra att jag fick den just idag, då efter jobbet idag är ledigt nio dagar på raken 😀
