Also via Frank: Tech titans turn to 'The Fountainhead' for comfort. I (obviously) like a lot of Objectivism, although my issue with it has always been about real estate ownership. Guns, Germs and Steel convinced me that that having a child to a population density of greater than about 1 per square mile was, in terms of Objectivism, an act of violence, and if I'm going to be friends with people with kids a hefty dose of pragmatism needs to get introduced. Obviously I am, so while I continue to use some of those resources as inspiration, I find my zeal tempered.
