Dan Larimer makes it VERY clear that he understands the importance of Self Interest and the ideas of Objectivism and Ayn Rand & ideas in Atlas Shrugged. Dan is building a real life Gal'ts Gulch but it will be the first Online Nation, no borders to invade

Come join @mughat 's discord and come learn about the fundamental ideas that will make us thrive and succeed. @dan Larimer creator of Bitshares, Steem and now EOS, actually createe a reading List which @mughat just found and it explains why Dan made this very interesting point about self interest.

So below is the quote which made @mughat look into the idea that @dan Larimer might be fully aware of the ideas of Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.

When ever one calls someone else greedy, they are really revealing their own greedyness when they demand someone be selfless. Who benefits from the demand that others be selfless? The greedy person demanding the selfless behavior of Others.

This @dan quote should be framed and put up on my wall.

(Funny image from @mughat he posted in his discord, i think @web-gnar could edit this to say BTC or steem, or maybe make a case that you can get a free lunch if you just buy enough Steempower, and maybe we can make deals with companies to give free products as a deal for users who buy steempower and delegate to them, or we just have steemit inc make deals with businesses to provide products to steemians who have over 10,000 SP, in exchange for Upvotes or delegation from steemit inc.

Steem and EOS will actually be one of these final puzzle pieces, but Humans will always continue to make more and more helpful valuable protocals for Education, Finance, Diplomacy, and we may even see EOS bring about a new age of World Peace, by linking world economies to each other, preventing countries from attacking each other via mutually assured financial destruction as a great deterrent to any sort of physical conflict in the future.
