A is A



Kim: I am so happy that my wife is a person very far from Lilian Rearden. Above is a new short clip from the upcoming movie Atlas Shrugged (see earlier post on Who is John Galt?). It is the scene where Hank Rearden comes home from his steel mill with his new bracelet. The dialog says a lot about the beauty and virtue of selfishness (and at the same time how nasty and immoral any form of altruism really is). The unapologetic non-contradictory essence of Hank Rearden's argument baffles his family who can only thrive as moochers, hiding behind a veil of what they perceive as kindness and altruism.
