Just good observations, James? This is the Word of Galt.

As to Adi Da Da...

>>From the Spiritual point of view...<<

What is a spiritual point of view? The spirit is the momentum of life that transcend time constraints of the body...as in the Spirit of Man. Where does this view come from?...or, more precisely, from whom? Ask yourself who speaks for GOD, James.

>>...the future is a creative activity, not a predetermined one...<<

The future, alone, is not a creative activity. Man must interact with the future for the possibility of creativity.

And, again, the future is neither predetermined nor does it offer infinite possibilities. Only infinite probable time offers infinite possibilities. Placed on a graph, the future looks coned-shaped with the horizontal axis representing probable time and the vertical representing the number of possibilities. The number of possibilities increase over probable time. For cosmologists, this cone-shaped representation should look familiar...as it represents our view of the cosmos looking out into the past.

Since the premise is wrong, John Galt will not continue with the first quote except to say that the remainder of it appears strained in logic with loads of shoddy subjectivism.

And in reviewing the second quote, this is nothing more than old-time religion...just another attempt to subordinate the individual through the derogation of his own creativity and invention.

In order to succeed as a cult, James, one must first eliminate the obstacle of the individual mind. Should I say more about Adi da da blah blah...

But know this, James. Should you ever attempt to enter into the Kingdom of Galt, you will be expelled as all those who attempt membership will be expelled. Galt wants leaders...not followers; poets...not parrots. Make your own GOD!
