Make Them INfamous

@tmitmitmi.com I listen to your show a lot. My brother read “Atlas Shrugged” & since you talked about it I sent him the show for him to hear. He said that it was obvious that you had not read the book. He mentioned that he can tell if someone has read it or not by their reaction — negative has not read it; positive they have read it. If you have read it, he would probably like to have a discussion with you about it. 🙂

Of course I read it! It was required practically for anyone wanting to proclaim themselves a freethinker in Generation X, which back in the 1980s, I was interested in proclaiming. I am grateful that you passed my episode on and that he listened to it. I’m not 100% certain what he would feel would be gained by us having a conversation on the book: he’s not the author, so his interpretation is only going to be as valid as mine is, and clearly our interpretations don’t line up.

What’s far more telling is the societal impact that the work has had in its wake. Indeed, it is held up as license to treat selfishness as a virtue by many, many people. That’s a fact that is simply inarguable.
