The first time I listened to Atlas Shrugged, the conversation between Hank Rearden and Ragnar Danneskjöld didn't stand out to me, but it's great as well. Gotta love the Ayn Rand novels for those iconic and idealistic conversations. It also changed my mind about the story of Robin Hood.

have you watched “all watched over by machines of loving grace” by adam curtis

Nope, curious to learn more – how does it relate?

applies randian thinking to the dot com years in a documentary format and draws connections. does not directly relate to the conversation between hank and rag. but tries to apply that to an age of computers and networks rather than telegrams and post/letters.

Ich bin es grade am lesen und es ist ein so fantastisches Buch, unfassbar

Ja, es lehrt einem sehr viel über Gesellschaft und mir hat es geholfen, soziale Dynamiken besser zu verstehen – grade die, solcher Zeiten.
