    You made me happy for an entire day last week, Mamaemma. Now it is my turn to exchange value for value.

    Indeed it is, but some days are just extra special. The banner scene with Francisco's full name was definitely my favorite part of AS3 and perhaps the entire book.

    I am looking forward to seeing it. If you need help with the nonequilibrium thermo, I might be able to squeeze some time in to help.

    What do you know about Bosch Fawstin? This was the first I had seen of this person's work.

    It will be little noted nor long remembered but thanks to this posting I realized that it was on Sept 2 2015 I solved the philosophical problem of causality. The solution is in information theory and non equilibrium thermodynamics. Causation is a dynamic process which brings it under the laws of thermodynamics and when you throw in information theory you get observable causation. This philosophical problem was spawned by Hume which gave rise to Kant, buried empirical observation, and bedevils current thinking on free will and metaphysics. SO I am proud that on this Day I broke the back of Hume, Kant, and Pragmatism. This will be the day I, for me, can put along side Ayn Rand starting AS. My work's impact will not be known until I publish and then for many years but it was on this day that I can say, "Brother you asked for it."

    In honor of Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian d'Anconia and his achievement I keep two beautiful Silver Goblets on my mantel. I'll drink from them tonight in salute.

    Every day is an Atlas Shrugged day! Is everyday not a great opportunity to practice the tenants of Ayn?

    Bought & watched AS 3. I believe the bad reviews were wrong. The movie was great.
    One must have watched AS 1 & 2 prior to watching 3 or else one would NOT understand it.
