Atlas Shrugged Newbie
No, not me, but I met someone.
I often wear my gear around town, especially when shopping on Sundays. I make a round of groceries, including our co-op and also Whole Foods. At WF today, the cashier was a really young guy, early 20s. He recognized Taggart Transcontinental on my t-shirt. "It's a movie prop," I said. He was blank."The hat, too," I said. He looked up at my 20th Century Motors cap. "What movie?" he asked. I told him that there were Atlas Shrugged movies made and he could find the movie website online.
"You know the scene with Dagny's first morning in the Valley? In the movie, John Galt was drinking from an Akston Diner coffee cup." By the look in his eyes, he got all of that 100%. "I asked about buying one and they hadn't been made yet. But then they made some, so I bought one." (Actually, I bought seven, but it was time to go...)
So, when you dispair about the world, just remember that there are always new, young people coming to reason and reality but means and routes that are unperceived but continuous and continuing.
