Zane Van de Put's Comment on Jerry Bonnell's Reaction


Jerry I am on the same side as you on the issue of John Galt’s strike. I understand why he is on strike but I think his methods are ridiculous as well. I am also worried about the millions of innocent lives at stake. I feel that John does not completely understand the consequences of his strike. However, I do not think John Galt is a true egoist. If John Galt was a complete egoist, then he would not have saved the other industrialists or gave them a save haven. He clearly cares about other people because he loves Dagny and cares about her well being.
            Jerry I did not originally notice the spotlight change from Dagny to John Galt, but I notice what you mean. However, I think the spotlight change is just momentarily. The same thing happened with Hank Rearden. Dagny is the protagonist and the spotlight comes back to her when she returns to the outside world. I am also interested to see whether or not John Galt achieves his goal. For some reason, I have a gut feeling that he will not achieve it.
