John Galt? You don't know who John...

...Galt is, jjetstream?

I figured Dealer would ask the question as she, of all people, NEEDS the answer because she has the capability of informing half the living beings on this planet ... along with this Uncle Frank character who evidently has the means and ability to inform the remainder.

We need to get them some answers ... and FAST.

They seem to be a bit short on patience, if not time itself.

Because they'll 'spread the word,' <g> if we give them something that they'll 'accept.'

To the best of my knowledge, John Galt is, well, like, this guy <we think> who sort of has ALL THE ANSWERS. Answers, to like, any question the human mind is capable of fathoming.

He would obviously be very helpful to us hapless retail investors if we could, first of all, FIND him ... and then somehow convince him to 'appear' somewhere on SI, yes?

I personally have no idea about Galt's current whereabouts.

Perhaps this vast SI network could unearth more facts about Mr. Galt?

Galt, John, 1779–1839, Scottish novelist. Known chiefly for his novels of Scottish country life, e.g., The Ayrshire Legatees (1821) and The Entail (1823), he also wrote a biography of Byron (1830) and founded (1827) the town of Guelph in Canada.

I guess we know why none of us can't find him anymore.
:^)
I don't know how many answers he has to offer, either...

I see this has already been discussed at great length.
Nevermind me.
