What would the world look like? This isn’t a sci-fi fantasy. More than 70 years ago, Ayn Rand left behind a remarkably sharp warning in *Atlas Shrugged*. When independent thinking is condemned as arrogance, when getting something for nothing becomes normal, and when politicians buy power by handing out money—are we already standing at the edge of disaster? In this episode of Zhiding Lecture Hall, K.T. Hao guides you into a modern classic often described as one of the most influential books of the 20th century. We’ll explore why this massive novel still feels painfully relevant in #Taiwan today—and how Rand’s extraordinary life helps us recover our only real weapon: the mind. “We are born unarmed. Our mind is our only weapon. Those who think cannot be ruled; those with ambition cannot be stopped.” — Ayn Rand 📑Chapters (Timestamps) 00:00 Why does the giant “shrug”? 01:34 Why does a 70-year-old #novel feel like a mirror today? 05:42 Ayn Rand’s legend: From the #Soviet Revolution to #Hollywood 08:09 A survival guide to money and freedom 🏷️ Keywords #HaoGuangcai #ZhidingLectureHall #AtlasShrugged #AynRand #JohnGalt
