 Randian heroes

Excellent choice Poonam - the accounts of Ramanujan's available online are
fascinating.
 
Panini is another Randian hero. Not only was he the original linguist and
grammarian influencing all subsequent fathers of modern linguistics, his
work proves beyond a shred of doubt that he was the original Logician,
Taxonomist and Philosopher.

some interesting quotes from Steve Jobs in a 1980s Playboy interview:
 
1. It’s a large responsibility to have more than you can spend in your
lifetime–and I feel I have to spend it. If you die, you certainly don’t
want to leave a large amount to your children. It will just ruin their
lives. And if you die without kids, it will all go to the Government.
Almost everyone would think that he could invest the money back into
humanity in a much more astute way than the Government could. The
challenges are to figure out how to live with it and to reinvest it back
into the world, which means either giving it away or using it to express
your concerns or values....... I’m convinced that to give away a dollar
effectively is harder than to make a dollar. [on money - one of my
favorites: a very un-slavish, un-plagiarized Randian exposition of the
virtues of money]
 
2. The point is that tools are always going to be used for certain things
we don’t find personally pleasing. And it’s ultimately the wisdom of
people, not the tools themselves, that is going to determine whether or not
these things are used in positive, productive ways. [on apple being used to
target nuclear weapons - but equally applicable to the un-important issue
of guns]
 
3. There’s an old Hindu saying that comes into my mind occasionally: “For
the first 30 years of your life, you make your habits. For the last 30
years of your life, your habits make you.” As I’m going to be 30 in
February, the thought has crossed my mind.
