Who Is John Galt, Today?
John Galt was never just a man in a book — he was a symbol. A placeholder for the figure who stands apart when society begins expelling the very people who keep it alive. In Atlas Shrugged, he represents withdrawal: a refusal to fuel the machine that grinds down its best.
But bring him into today, and the symbol twists. Poor selection ensures history repeats itself. If the new rulers cannot manage competence, then their purge will include the competent — and Galt will be among the expelled. When systems reject their own lifeblood, decline is not an accident; it is a choice made under the illusion of strength."
