I’m doing a little research, and was hoping you guys could answer a question for me. Feel free to say whatever comes to mind, or not respond at all. I won’t use your responses for any specific purpose. It’s just to help me understand a few things. In Atlas Shrugged, John Galt asks Dagny about the feeling she had when The John Galt Line made its first run. He says it’s that feeling he chose to accept as the norm in his life, the greatest sense of accomplishment. Each of Ayn Rand’s characters has a similar pursuit, the only difference being the profession they choose. Is this your motivation? Is this the reason you were initially attracted to Ayn Rand’s philosophy? And finally, what gives you that feeling? What’s your ultimate goal?
