Dystopic Journal, Atlas Shrugged: Reason and Choice
Ep 6 JP's Dystopic Journal continues with a further examination of John Galt's speech in Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. One of the themes of his speech, and a theme of Rand's is the idea that human beings are meant to have the capacity to act in their own best interests and the best interests of their loved ones. We should not outsource our decision making to others when it comes to matters of critical personal importance. Adding to Galt's/Rand's commentary, I suggest The Creator gave us the gift of free will. It's our ability to choose from different paths and select our own destinies that sets us apart from both the animals and the Angels. Humans being their best selves and utilizing their gifts of life and liberty is good and moral. Not doing those things, or depriving others from either life or free will is bad, immoral.
Until next time, stay healthy, happy, and free!
