@@wesleytaylor-rendal5648 I guess you must be too young to have watched police in this country become militarized, or too ill-informed to know that every phone call you make, every email you send, is recorded and permanently stored by the NSA, or that every location you have been to if you have a cell phone is recorded to within a few feet. The push is on now for an all-digital currency so every purchase you make is recorded, too, and they can lock you out of your account if you say the wrong thing. Obama's _Project Choke Point_ already started that by denying banking services to businesses they didn't like, primarily LEGAL firearms-related businesses. Censorship is at an all-time high. You can claim that the Big Tech companies are private, but they're really functioning as the Ministry of Propaganda and Ministry of Truth arms of the DNC.

The "Engine of the World" isn't made of circuitry and wiring, nor does it glow with its own internal light. Idealistically the engine of the world is the brilliance of humanity coupled with the ability to pursue dreams that bring that brilliance to fruition. More practically and more Ayn Rand-ian; the engine of the world is the unfettered persuit of individual self worth. The crass among us will call it greed, but that is a very myopic view that excludes the long history of benefit that societies have garnered from the success of the few who drive civilization forward.
@litmuscheck Жыл бұрын
You're confusing reason with effect. Overall, it's the many who drive civilization forward and make few succesful. How succesful would a Henry Ford have been, if no one would've worked for him? How big a company would Ford be today, if it wasn't for the hundreds and thousands of poor factory workers, who had to take any work, no matter how dangerous or ill-paid the job was, just to barely feed their families? How big would Hugo Boss be, if they didn't use jewish slaves during WW2 and manufactured trenchcoats for the nazis? What you call "success" is what I call the result of exploitation. Kings, Queens, Emperors, the wealthiest people and the most successful business men, no one can be successful alone. We can't even survive alone. Without company, without someone who takes care of us, humans die. Pretty fast and pretty easily. We can't remove our own appendix, we can't protect ourselves when we are sick or asleep, we live in a permanent dependency from others. The second we're born we need someone to take care of us. "Individual freedom" is an illusion. There is no individual freedom as there is no individual life. There is no life without affecting or being affected by others. And even if it's only the place of your random birth, because well, that's where your mom was at the time, or someone who paved the road you walk on. We're born into dependency, and can never escape it. We need to eat, we need to drink, we get sick, we get old, there's no freedom in life. There is no "I can do whatever I want.". Well, actually, there is and you can. But it will have consequences, and those might severely inflict with your initial freedom.

No Liz - it's NOT the billionaires that have gone on strike. They billionaires are the ones YOU are supporting by giving power to the government, who then sells it to the highest bidder. The people who are "on strike" are people like me - small business owners who employed people with good-paying jobs until YOU allowed government to pass laws giving billionaires the ability to put the rest of us out of business. Now it's spreading to others who are "quiet quitting" because they don't see the value in working hard only to be FORCED to support those who don't work. There are now tens of thousands of us "on strike." Think of us every time you hear someone say they can't find a really good auto mechanic - or an honest Realtor - or a caring doctor - or an efficient business manager. People who are capable of THINKING are learning that WE DON'T NEED YOU. YOU NEED US.

She was still paying enough in income taxes that any Social Security payments she received served only as a small income tax deduction. A small one. She was still earning an income from book royalties and speaking fees. People were still willing to pay money to hear her speak. When she contracted cancer in 1974 it was a few years before she was eligible for Medicare, yet she was able to pay for the surgery and treatments, and on top of that she paid for her brother-in-law’s heart surgery. When she died, she left $550K in her will. New York Times Article 024270 -- No Title (Published 1982) The novelist Ayn Rand left an estate estimated at $550,000 to a friend, Leonard Peikoff of Manhattan, according to a will filed for probate in Manhattan Surrogate's Court.

I disagree. Freedom is free. Even in China, people are free. You're describing obligations. Freedom is the choice to choose your own path thru life. Obligations are burdens you choose to take on because you believe the results will be beneficial. Example, buying a car requires maintenance. You used your natural born freedom to buy car and have obligated yourself to maintaining it. This is dangerous thinking. We all should remember to a certain culture who claimed they were slaves even though they chose to enter America with no citizenship and then demanded rights because "they were slaves." I'll just consider this video fake news or logically flawed. Slavery doesn't exist in western society. You're all free. Believing in slave labor and slave wages is flawed logically and can lead to very bad outcomes.
