The unequaled-in-snark blogger IOZ reviews the Atlas Shrugged movie – which I have zero interest in seeing, but about which I might bear some passing interest, if only as an erstwhile semi-(pseudo-)randian. The genius comment (on the novel more than on the movie):
the lessons she [Rand] draws from capitalism are like spelunking guides based on the Allegory of the Cave. I suspect if you showed her the old A = L + S/E equation, she'd think it was some kind of commie redistribution plan.
Uh. You either get it, and laugh uproariously (as I did, ashamedly), or you don't. I will actually think more highly of your practical side, if you don't. I have, indeed, changed over these last several years.
