Really? You really should read the whole thing. Even if you don't agree with it, the Galt speech will tell you all you need to know about the philosophy of objectivism. Agree with it or not, it's not something you should ignore. There are certain political movements that have hooked their wagons up to it and are riding off in to the sunset. That makes it, at least, relevant.

No one is going to read a novella-length speech unless they're already into the philosophy. Got a summary?

TL; DR: "I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold. And the gratitude I get... I'm tired of pretending I'm not special. You can't process me with a normal brain!"

Sure: a is a.

That's an equation, not a philosophy. If Rand took a book to say that, she should have fired her editor.
