Ayn Rand & The Simpsons

I found this clip of the Simpsons portraying Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead". It's obviously condensed but gets the point across. If you don't plan on reading her stuff anytime soon this is an entertaining "cliff notes" version.

The point (as I see it) is that each of us is different and some of us are better at things than others. It's shameful and wrong to hold your talents back so that we all appear equal. Live your life for yourself and not for others. There's much much more to it than that but that's a great introduction.
