Currently Reading: Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
Honestly loving Atlas Shrugged, but We The Living is easily my favorite book I have ever read. It has deeply affected how I think about life and I share many philosophical beliefs with Rand, would highly highly recommend.
- dangerlibrary 12y agoRand gets some things right. She takes hero worship to a whole new level, though. Peter Thiel's take on her in Zero to One is pretty good.
- mrfusion 12y agoI don't remember reading about Ayn Rand in Zero to One. Could you tell me where? (Hoping the Kindle version wasn't abridged or something)
- dangerlibrary 12y agoI don't have my copy nearby. It's a one-off comment about how Galt's Gulch is a childish fantasy. Some things are necessarily the work of many minds working together - nobody can build a rocket or a railroad on their own in a secluded community of genius captains of industry. edit: I also just realized that I read a pre-release screener - it may have been cut out of the published edition.
- bvanslyke 12y agoThought it would be fun to see if your user profile looks like I thought it would... > Business student. Accounting & Economics > The startup world fascinates me, have a bit of technical knowledge, learning to code and would probably kill a man to become a VC someday. Guess I was completely wrong; serves me right to stereotype Rand followers :-)
