I know what the quote means, and I love it! But what does it mean when the global hacker movement Anonymous is quoting Ayn Rand? That's the kind of question I like as a discussion starting point in the Gulch! Here is the 6-minute video. I don't want to give you the spoiler of the quote until you've watched the video. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaemI...

    As I said above, I'm not aware of solutions they have proposed. They seem to be more about enforcing justice that governments should be doing but aren't.

    Thanks for your reaction Rich. There's a strong bias in the video for environmentalism and anti-business. They aren't really a single unified organization either...as for solutions, I don't see any either. They are more like a vigilante justice group in my perspective. Which makes me wonder if they see themselves as a modern day Ragnar...

    Interesting. I like the quote in connection with those who ignore what Central Bankers, Socialists, perpetual war mongers and the U.N. are doing. Anonymous is a strange group. Not sure what solution they offer if any.

    Railing against reality without proposing solutions is useless. Ayn Rand proposed solutions in fiction and non-fiction. What solutions does Anonymous propose?

    Anonymous may be a little out of touch with reality. There were a few truths mixed in with a bunch of lies IMHO.
