This, my friends - for a change - I do not mean in a Randian way. I simply wanted to say that going to Australia for less than a week messes your biorhythm up, and makes you think the world is small.
Especially if you happen to know enough people who you have met in your past that you go out with every night and feel like a local. Bondi Beach, North Sydney, CBD, even the Opera (Circular Quay) were all really remote concepts. But thanks to the amazing experience friends offered, it now feels like it's my university city, Prague.
Great times!
Now, to come back to the parallel meaning of what I was trying to say - Atlas Shrugged - the movie is out soon: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/
And to add yet another twist to it - I would like to talk to the person who came to the conclusion that what Ayn Rand was actually advocating was crude free market capitalism. I have some doubts about that....she was talking about taking responsibility for one's life, about human greatness. It seems to me that her words were interpreted rather loosely to get this far. Greed was never a sign of greatness for her. Intelligent selfishness was.
Let me know if you think otherwise, I feel like I have a case to defend here.
So long!
