People ask me: "who is John Galt" however, I say read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" then they think John Galt is a person...
John Galt is an idea not a person...
I suppose that's only my interpretation of John Galt..
Anyone interested in discussing the philosophy behind John Galt?
I'm always amused by the people claiming to be John Galt, big ego there to be claiming to be the representation of the power of the human spirit and mind.
And I thought you were John Galt, Mr. The timezones are created by Earth's gravity.

Are you suggesting I'm not awesome enough to be John Galt?
Big Ego? He was a railroad grunt for most of his life.
Not the character but the people who hold signs at rallies that say "I am John Galt" its simple egoism, nothing more. The ego and desire to be important and special can manifest itself in many ways, this is just another example.

I thought they were claiming that they can know, and they can do. The point was empowering every man, the opposite of ego.
Certainly a scary concept for those in power, or for those who get power by providing for every man through taxes...
You can be John Galt too you know...
I suppose my OP was too difficult to understand, when IMO I thought it was pretty blunt.
IMO John Galt is not about egotism, he's the man who believed that there are no bad jobs and despite his intelligence had no qualms about being a day laborer.
All my pay comes from the government, I'm one of the parasite types.
Well, accrording to the "White Pages" there are at least 77 people in the USA and Canada named "John Galt." John Galt | WhitePages
Sooo....which John Galt are you asking about???? LOL Jk
*GASP*
Mr. Nothing to see here, no scandal to worry about, the government does no wrong is a looter?
People with egos drive green cars to show the world how green they are. They also buy hemp shopping bags to show how green they are when they go shopping.
They may as well tattoo "ego" on their forehead because their statement is clearly "I support Obama" 99% of the time.
Of course these are the same idiots who thing Ernesto Lynch was a ****ing saint...

As anyone in the military, I'm paid with tax dollars. 100% of my income comes from the government.
That they do, same folks who walk around with a sign that says I'm John Galt or talk about how they are better than other folks for any reason.

Last night I fell asleep while watching Atlas Shrugged Part II, and wound up continuing the film in my dreams. When I awoke, I was terribly shaken, and it took me a couple of minutes to evaluate my surroundings and calm myself. That never happens anymore.
I find it very interesting that the most terrifying scenario my mind could conjure up is one in which my life and my talents are no longer my property, but the property of society. I believe that just two years ago this wouldn't have been the case, and I think its a sign that I've really begun to integrate concepts of Objectivism and Libertarian philosophies beyond a level of conscious political utilitarianism to a level where it's become a foundational element of my psyche. The value of my own life has moved beyond a logical truth, to a visceral one.
It feels good.
John Galt is a figment of Ayn Rand's self-centered imagination.
Ayn Rand's Philosophy can be boiled down to the idea that there is no human society, That selfishness is a virtue and that in this dog-eat-dog world it's every person for him or her self.
Ayn Rand's totally un-empathetic objectivism will never rule in the USA
No matter what Ayn Rand and her cult of disciples may try to tell the world, selfishness and greed are not good things. They never were and they never will be.
Check with your mama and Jesus Christ and see what they have to say on the subject.
"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.
Why would someone who admits to themselves that they can do and know, are "better", when basically everyone has those attributes? Sounds defensive.Like I said, feeding the ego, I know, I can do, and other's do not, I'm special, I'm better, others are not.
Evidence to support your biased responses I suppose. Carry on!All my pay comes from the government, I'm one of the parasite types.
Guy sounds like a cultist for Christ's sake.

One of my facebook friends is a big Ayn Rand fan, he wrote this one day on his wall.
