Editor's note: Hello everyone! Wishing you all a great beginning to the holiday season. Kicking it off with the first episode of Volume Two of my John Galt series!
Prior to this series of releases, I have rough drafted episodes 1 - 17. The first few episodes were VERY rough, as I was new to the process, still learning, and I was only doing the project as a one-off for fun. Over the course of the past year, though, I've been reading the papers and seeing how urgently needed Galt's ideas and ideals are in today's world. I've become much more serious about spreading Objectivist ideas as best I can, and so making this visualization of Galt's speech has become my passion and my joy.
I am re-making the series from beginning to end, concentrating on technical issues and cleaning up any potentially confusing marriages of image and word. It's a long laborious process- I'm one guy trolling the internet for footage and splicing it together on my computer- thank you for your continued interest and enthusiasm.
I believe that every single one of us can, through individual action, make differences in this world. I think of it as being a 'multiplier'. If I can effect the thinking of just 5% of the over 100,000 viewers the videos have had, that's 500 people who are more familiar with Ayn Rand's philosophy. If 1 in 100 of those people chooses to actively spread the ideas like I do, that's five more XCowboys changing minds. I encourage everyone to get involved, be optimistic, be unashamed of your convictions, and to start remaking the world one mind at a time. It has never been more urgent to speak the truth.

I am going through AS for my second time now, and last time I found my self falling asleep while reading Galt's speech far too often. So my brother and I were having a phone conversation tonight and he suggested I check this out (you know him as Captain Danneskjold, X). This is absolutely astounding! I can actually pay attention to it! I knew the idea Galt was getting across, but now I cant actually quote his words! 1 question: Where did you find the ppl for AS characters?- minus Hank.
If you're illogical enough to think your pleas matter or that there is a supernatural being hearing your pleas, then you have no ground to utter such criticism.
That being said, I would also oppose any theatrical rendition. You can't squeeze 1168 pages into 2 hours.
Well then I suppose that I'm simply voicing my opinion that such a film in that fashion would be a poor rendition, based on the evidence, dare I say, the reason, that they are both bad actors. It matters not whether the majority agrees or not, but what is done is the right thing to do.
And I think the right thing would be for you to go fuck yourself. Thanks for your time :)

Now that was well put. A cult of victems, worshiping the zero. Nicely done. Thumbs up.
