Do you believe that you know what's 'fair' for other people in terms of wages, taxes and rewards for their accomplishments in life?
Do you believe that your opinions should be made into laws that control all of your fellow citizens?
Do you believe that everyone deserves equal results despite differences in skills, intellect and capabilities?
If so, John Galt and HIS beliefs will, in time, become your worst nightmare as more and more people wake up to the evils of YOUR beliefs.
1. Reality is what it is. Things are what they are, independent of anyone's beliefs, feelings, judgements or opinions. Existence exist. A is A.
2. Reason, the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by the various senses, is fully competent to understand the facts of reality.
3. Any form of irrationalism, supernaturalism, mysticism or any claim to a non-sensory or irrational form of knowledge is to be rejected.
4. A rational code of ethics is possible and is derivable from an appropriate assessment of the nature of human beings as well as the nature of reality.
5. The standard of the good is not god or the alleged needs of society, but rather, man's life. Meaning that which is objectively required for a man/woman's life, survival and well being.
6. A human being is an end in him or herself. Each one of us has a right to exist for our own sake, neither sacrificing others to self or self to others.
7. The principles of justice and respect for individuality, autonomy and personal rights must replace the principles of sacrifice in human relationships.
8. No individual and no group has the moral right to initiate the use of force against others.
9. Force is permissible, but only in retaliation and only against those who have initiated its use.
10. The organizing principle of a moral society is respect for individual rights.
On the foundation of these principles, I would advocate a total separation of government and economics just as and for the same reason as there is now a separation of government and religion. For just as the government has no proper voice in the religious beliefs and practices of people, as long as no one else's rights are violated, the government has no proper voice in the freedom of production and trade between and among consenting adults.
John Galt would be able to state and easily defend these principles.
These 10 principles are the foundation of every thing Ayn Rand wrote. Thank you Ayn. We love you.
If not, then they are not of great consequence to me.
The Man who loves his Life.
