"Laborer chooses not to work -- everyone does their own labor. Small inconvenience.

Atlas chooses not to work -- nobody invents. Major difference in the future of mankind."

I still don't understand the point. Okay, so Atlas chooses not to work --- who cares? Why should that make any difference to me?

Let's say that nobody invents anything for the rest of human history. Why should that bother me more than if the plumber doesn't show up to fix my toilet?
