...it sounds like it's gonna suck!
They had to rush it because the guy that owns the rights was about to lose those rights. But who knows, when they were making "Casablanca" it looked like a loser, too.
I was comparing my career and life trajectory to that of John Galt as my stomach grumbled for some lunch and I came up with this off the top of my head:
Galt leaves home at age twelve. I leave home at thirteen.
Galt begins college at age sixteen. I drop out of high school and begin auditing classes at college at sixteen.
Galt is double-majoring in physics and philosophy. I watch "Star Trek," read Science Fiction, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.
Galt takes over the airwaves to deliver a lengthy speech explaining the irrationality of collectivism and offering his own philosophy of Objectivist as an alternative. I went on the air and exposed every possible thought and feeling believing others would also examine their own existence. This self-awareness is the awareness of the self as separate from the thoughts that are occurring at any time. I believed without self-awareness the self perceives and believes the thoughts that are occurring to be who the self is. Self-awareness gives one the option or choice to choose thoughts being thought rather than simply thinking the thoughts that are stimulated from the accumulative events leading up to the circumstances of the moment. I wanted to free the listener from being a slave to their thoughts. My high ratings and success in broadcasting proved me right. People began to follow me. My cult grew and continues to grow bigger and bigger, larger and larger, spreading wide across the world.
Galt, like Prometheus, who suffered for bringing a great good to mankind, Galt refused to suffer and withdrew the benefit instead. I runaway and hid when my genius was denied to produce.
I'd write more, but I'm so very hungry and must go beg for or steal some food.
