Wow, you've failed pretty hard on the Ayn Rand / John Galt explanation. Taken so far out of context. I have served, honorably, in the US Military, been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, all while being a staunch Objectivists. His actions were in no way in accordance with the philosophy of Objectivism. Was probably best to indicate that he had found some things that he resonated with, or that he drew some interesting parallels to without alluding that somehow Objectivism is in accordance with his actions. BTW what does a 60 page speech (yes it's far too long) have to do with anything anyways? This was in poor taste IMO. Other than that I've enjoyed your podcast, thank you for it.
