Atlantis: theme for this, the ninth anniversary of the invention of the Motor/Generator for Ayn Rand's Philosophy for Living on Earth:
"But of course"
 |
| "...We were scattered all over the country, as the outcasts we had always been, only now we accepted our parts with conscious intention. Our sole relief were the rare occasions when we could meet one another. We found that we liked to meet - in order to be reminded that human beings still existed. So we came to set aside one month a year to spend in this valley - to rest, to live in a rational world, to bring our real work out of hiding, to trade our achievements - here, where achievements meant payment, not expropriation. ... - for one month of life out of twelve. It made the eleven easier to bear." (JohnGalt:DagnyTaggart@MulliganDinner/AynRand:AtlasShrugged) |

If you haven't - do so b/c its pretty much a tourist-brochure-primer) - brush-up on it even if you're a *maestro*. Most new recruits come in this route ie) the inductive way. (see? it all fits together; it had better, everyone gets one chance.) |

Discretion and dealing with outsiders and the outside world: looters, moochers and yes, *the enablers* (remaining in & enabling the mystic/altruist/collectivist culture is now a choice - faculty (ARI, TAS, TOS etc - withdrawl of your sanction / support is the only moral response. Read the novel or our qualification here.
and here's a quote that makes it even more precise as Galt says to Francisco in reference to the plight of Hank Rearden:
"Do you wish to give any outsider any relief from the consequences of remaining outside?"
Francisco dropped his eyes, but answered firmly, "No."
"Pity Francisco?"
"Yes. Forget it. You're right."
