A #review of the #book “Ayn Rand: Writing A Gospel Of Success” by Alexandra Popoff that is more of a commentary on #AynRand than a #BookReview:
“Atlas Schlepped”, Jewish Review Of Books (https://jewishreviewofbooks.com/literature/17180/atlas-schlepped/).

Wild Speculation...
What if the guys who made the #AtlasShrugged #movies were trying to pull a "Springtime for Hitler" scam, like in #TheProducers, and succeeded because they didn't hire Lorenzo to play John Galt?
This theory assumes they were film-literate enough to have seen and understood The Producers, and is thus incompatible with the predominant theory that they simply did not understand enough to make a good movie based on #AynRand's already wild and unrealistic scifi fantasy plot.

🤔💡 Wow, an article on how *not* reading a book still provides profound insights! Apparently, the title alone of "Atlas Shrugged" is enough to spark a lifetime of reflection. 📚🙄 Who needs to actually read when you’ve mastered the art of *judging* by the cover? 🤷♂️

As a teenager in Soviet Russia, #AynRand began drafting an untitled precursor to #AtlasShrugged—what she called “the story of the strike.” These early notes reveal a raw, radical phase of her thinking, where moral clarity and creative defiance were still taking shape.

So the evil bureaucrats offer John Galt a job, but he refuses, so they crucify him on an electrical machine.
Unfortunately the fuse blows, but the last man to understand electricity is the one being killed, the bureaucrats leaveThen in a scene, surely plagiarised by the Wachowski's in the Matrix, Taggart dressed in black rescues Galt and takes him back to Zion, I mean Atlantis .. or whatever the place is.. as the lights go out across the city, the revolution begins

It reminds me of #AtlasShrugged.
“We are probably going to stop publishing in the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine (#NEJM), #JAMA and those other journals because they are all corrupt."
Kennedy said agencies within the #HHS will create their own “in-house” journals. “They are going to become the preeminent journals, because if you get #NIH funding it is anointing you as a good, legitimate scientist,” he said.

"La llamada de Cthulhu": Es un libro de gran maldad.
Yo: ¿"La rebelión de Atlas"?
"La llamada de Cthulhu": Tiene una diatriba de horror incoherente, pesada y casi imposible de leer.
Yo: "La rebelión de Atlas".
"La llamada de Cthulhu": Quienes lo leen se convierten en monstruos dedicados a atormentar a la humanidad.
Yo: Definitivamente es "La rebelión de Atlas".

I am finally listening to the #BehindTheBastards episode on the #Conservative #Porn #Book "Blue Dawn".
Maybe the best thing that could happen in the next 4 years is a #Movie being made of this modern classic. I guess it would star Kevin Sorbo and would surely take pride of place on any #Blockbuster shelf, right next to the 2011 classic #AtlasShrugged
If they made a movie of #BlueDawn, I'd absolutely seed it to 200% - or 48 hours, whichever came first.
You listening, #StevenSpielberg?

To understand why #AynRand’s #ethics of selfishness inspires millions of readers, we need to get beyond the popular conception of what #selfishness involves: https://NewIdeal.AynRand.org/can-selfishness-be-a-moral-ideal/
“Instead of callous climbers and exploiters, we find [in #TheFountainhead and #AtlasShrugged] individuals of integrity, purpose, and intelligence … who guide their lives by reason, pursue productive careers and take pride in themselves, their work, and their capacity to live.”

Why not give or sell your work, wealth, or property to just anyone?
“Because it’s *mine.* Do you understand the word?”
—Hank Rearden in ‘#AtlasShrugged’ by #AynRand https://AynRand.org/novels/atlas-shrugged/
Your mind is your fundamental tool for survival as a human. Your individual right to life includes the right to use your mind for productive work and enjoy its results. That is the foundation of your #PropertyRights and of #capitalism.

So many of us have long lists of books that we plan to read. I use an Amazon list for this purpose. Although I have put more than 500 titles on the list, I make a point of trying not to purchase any of them from Amazon.
As I've grown older, I've become aware that life is too short to waste on really bad books, so I have developed a list of books that are on others' "must read" lists but that I want to avoid at all costs. Number one on that list is the loathsome crank Ayn Rand's "masterpiece", "Atlas Shrugged".

@DrHyde I suppose you (along with the #ModernLibrary) prefer #JamesJoyce? https://newideal.aynrand.org/a-tale-of-two-novels/
The list from that editorial (https://sites.prh.com/modern-library-top-100) had a solicited correspondence from what’s now the Columbia Publishing Course. The latter’s director said at the time, “Our list reflects a young, more #feminist crowd. [It] shows a difference of age and taste.”
#AynRand’s #TheFountainhead was #43 and #AtlasShrugged was #92: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1998/7/24/class-ranks-top-100-novels-of/

Ayn Rand was a Russian-American novelist, screenwriter and playwright. She is the author of vast doorstop-sized tomes like Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, among other thick, boring books espousing #libertarian themes and ideology. She empowered herself by trying to set the Women's movement back 50 years.
Rand claimed to be a philosopher, though she preferred the title "Objectivist." #Objectivism is a political movement based on Rand's teachings. In actual fact, her simplistic versions of philosophy were misunderstandings of #Aristotelian #metaphysical notions formulated thousands of years ago. Whether that makes it a philosophy ("Look, it's got an '-ism' at the end!") or just an excuse for being greedy, ignorant, and selfish is, ironically, subjective.

Some insider discussion on the #AtlasShrugged rights acquisition with #Supernatural actor and #Objectivist #MarkPellegrino. He was involved early on, but in typical #Hollywood fashion, the dealmakers screwed him.
