John LaCarna
If you know what it means to say, "I AM", then you know the answer to the question,
"Who is John Galt".
The answer to your question, "Who is John Galt?", was written many decades ago.
Anthem by Ayn Rand
(open quote)
Chapter Eleven
I am. I think. I will.
My hands . . . My spirit . . . My sky . . . My forest . . . This earth of mine . . . .
What must I say besides? These are the words. This is the answer.
(close quote)
The essential truth that humans are individuals. That they have value. That the definition of good is self-ownership
and by extension self determination.
We hold these truths to be self-evident. ... but,
In another fictional universe many ask "Who is THE DOCTOR?",
while the more important question may be, "Who aspires to be THE MASTER?".
The "what", the "how", the "why" are also critical questions.
"Every slave knows that a free man owns himself."
John Galt is the indomitable, creative, caring, persistent, longsuffering human spirit within each of us which makes us worth our salt. He is the heart of ambition, the stuff of desire and the soul of love. He is us, at our best.
Instruction, simple:
Justice, order, honor, nobleness,
Goodness, altruism, light, truth
I see John Galt as a kind of metaphor for man's search for true freedom. Freedom of thought, knowledge, actions and the natural pursuit of mankind to solve the problems that he and his fellow man deal with.
John Galt means FREEDOM to take your talents and use them to help your fellow man unincumbered.
Giving them the maximum capability of living life on their own terms while elevating the purpose of their fellow mans ideals to an better level.
Who is John Galt?
Is he real?
Did he ever exist or is this question just an expression for the decay, dispair and hopelessness that has enveloped the world?
Who is John Galt?
If he is real what can he do to save the world?
And why would he choose to do so?
Who thinks he deserves to rule the world.
Who is John Galt?
When you discover the answer you will discover that, like John Galt, you have the greatest power in the world, your own mind.
That power can be used to destroy mankind.
And it is the only power that can save it.
or
John Galt is the man who showed the world the meaning of mans' mind.
Who is John Galt?
John Galt is the (one) man who showed mankind the meaning of man's mind.
