Trump card thrown!

And a nice leather jacket in that last scene too.

"..."

oh

I completely missed the chocolate cake. I had to be half asleep when I watched this. Thanks for pointing that change out.

Yes k. It gets Rand wrong. It gets Atlas wrong. It's parody. Its ridicule is intentional.

The video was not put together to support Rand's message. It's a "make fun of Rand" video.

And... it's funny. I know this, because... it made me laugh... out loud.

"Humor is the denial of metaphysical importance to that which you laugh at. The classic example: you see a very snooty, very well dressed dowager walking down the street, and then she slips on a banana peel . . . . What’s funny about it? It’s the contrast of the woman’s pretensions to reality." - Leonard Peikoff (https://estore.aynrand.org/p/6/the-philo...)

What's funny about the video is the contrast of the video's pretensions to reality.

"To laugh at the contemptible, is a virtue; to laugh at the good, is a hideous vice." - Ayn Rand

I'm not laughing at us k. I'm laughing at his misinterpretation of us. I'm laughing at the message of the video, not Rand's message.

EDIT: a word for clarity

it purposely trivializes the point to irrelevancy. Also, it changes the context to turn Galt into a thief. Instead of the men of the mind leaving, Galt steals chocolate cake. am I just too literal? sigh

**SPOILER***

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we're out of chocolate cake. Do you know why? I took it from you. Chocolate cake is a sacred possession. This is John Galt speaking."

OMG! I can't stop laughing!

great point

As a side note, on the banquet table, behind the salad bowl and the champagne flute - that looks like some mighty tasty bread.

**SPOILER***
yes, Galt had the last laugh
I don't appreciate parody on other people's positive contributions. I do appreciate what it means to ride on other people's coat tails.

TOO FUNNY! I'm still laughing! You have to watch it to the end! LOL!

This is good. I loved the movie! All 3 of them.
