The Fountainhead and the like...

[RandBriscoe]

Maybe this isn't the place to post this... It seems to me that Ayn Rand might be quite popular amongst poker players. I was wondering if any of you guys/gals have read Ayn?

It seems to make sense for this group of people for a few reasons.

1. Her emphasis on individualism
2. Ignoring short-term results in favor of long-term principle-based thinking.
3. I thought SSHE said it perfectly with something to the effect of poker being a terrible game for those who play primarily to impress one's peers. This idea conicides with Ayn Rand's view of one's self being one's source of value and not the way others percieve you.

Any thoughts?
