Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Robert Stadler

I know it's not exactly news, but I haven't seen it quite so explicit. The headline in an internet newspaper called The Huffington Post blurted it out. Dr. Robert Stadler is a once-moral man, who clearly knew better. Stadler, a famous and brilliant physicist and mentor of Ayn Rand’s greatest hero, John Galt, sells his soul to the state. Stadler’s guilt and breach of morality are unforgivable because he deliberately abandoned reason, despite his virtue and intelligence. Does this sound like Alan Greenspan? In this short post, I've undoubtedly over-simplified the character of Stadler. Please help me embellish the description. Likewise, I'm interested in your thoughts.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm still not sure what made him so evil. He practiced evasion, just like the other villians, but I guess it is because he, at one time, practiced reason and had virtues, so he deliberatly turned his back on them. Yeah..Ayn Rand was crazy though.
