I read Atlas Shrugged over the weekend.

The small blockers are all Philip Reardon and James Taggart types. A good number of big blockers too.

Don’t be a looter. Be worthy of Atlantis.

havent read much of Ayn Rand but have observed a lot of people admiring her work just for signaling

I think it's a really good starting place for a lot of people. Most people aren't going to read Rothbard, Mises, Friedman, etc... But Rand is a decent story teller, so it helps humanize the ideas.

just the message "selfish = good" is worth it if nothing else

BSV/BSV economy is straight up Howard Rourke from Fountainhead. Including blowing up your own projects for the ideals

That's also true!
