Except that the big flaw in Galt's Gulch is that, in the real world, the people Rand would call "makers" actually need someone to construct their inventions. Tomorrowland doesn't need that -- they have unlimited robots.<br />- If Nix were really serious about saving humanity from wars & climate change &c, then he should have brought some of that magic Tomorrowland technology -- most especially whatever their power source is -- back into the real world back in 1964. Imagine what the last 50 years would have been like if people didn't need oil.James Redekopnoreply@blogger.com
