Even in 'Atlas Shrugged', when the creators did not work, the whole of society is affected. The effect of the contributions of even the supposed 'selfish' workers, is seen across all of the society, and the importance of each individual contribution is seen. The 'selfish' workers who claim to want fame and fortune and all the rewards for themselves, can only get that by contributing to society, and benefitting the greater good.

The only difference between these tame darkworkers and lightworkers is that one sees short-sighted, self benefits only, while the other sees the whole of the energetic cycle.


Further, when asked to list who are true darkworkers, to name the lions that you say you follow, you listed a bunch of cats.
Who are the ultimate darkworkers?
Where are the darkworkers with acclaim, who contribute on great scale and achievement, and with lasting contribution to society, and who ensure great happiness, wealth, success, achievement, fame, resources, as darkworkers so claim to desire, for themselves?
Nothing you said about Ayn Rand makes her less of a darkworker.

And why are you asking me who the darkworkers are when I am not the one who invented the philosophy? You would have to ask Steve.
