John Galt's Speech

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8288]

***SPOILER ALERT***

For those that are interested in the book, Atlas Shrugged (which is featured in my signature), I found a complete recording of John Galt’s speech. If you’re planning to read the book form cover to cover, you may want to skip this YouTube video/audio.

I spent a year reading this book. Much of it seemed tiresome to me, but I liked the speeches. I consider it to be an important contribution to the library of philosophy.

The speech is very long. I spent a few days listening to sections of it. As I listened, I felt it could be interpreted for the MGTOW lifestyle.

This is my alternative interpretation: If we are burdened by a gynocentric society, we shouldn’t be willing to cooperate with our oppressors and empower them so they can gain social power—thus making our situation more unbearable.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Brilliant! Im a definate fan of Ayn Rand. I would also recommend two of her other books. “The Virtue of Selfishness” and “Philosophy, Who needs it?” She details how diseases such as feminisim, altruisim, liberalism, communisim, and the like, get their start,poluting young minds for generations to come. Ayn Rand, is one of the very few women worth listening too!

"Women are cosidered deep-why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.

I started reading this book several weeks ago and am about half-way done. I was drawn to it as a Libertarian, but never considered looking at it from a MGTOW perspective. Makes a lot of sense though, thanks! I’ll enjoy it all the more now.
