@rl_dane@polymaths.social @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @baldur@toot.cafe @jneen@unstable.systems All her ideas lie on the assumption that the greatest mind should be liberated (mostly from government but well) to do great things. She was a lessez-faire libertarian.
What we see now is the companies buying government to disrupt the "great people". John Galt would not go to a dinner with Trump to squash competitiod.
Then, of course, there's the famous orc saying.

@mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @baldur@toot.cafe @jneen@unstable.systems Unfortunately, history proves that excessively liberated people do indeed turn into orcs. Somehow it's the struggle and in-your-face-ness of life (to the right degree) that keeps us actually human.
