Saviors are suspicious.

But even a pristine savior, if any exist/ed, becomes duplicitous secondhand via the uses his, or hers, gifts (or “gifts”) are put to by the second-handers Rand described.

Who is John Galt? Nobody I’d trust.

Or, Galt me once, shame on me ….

I know what money is. And I know what money substitutes do.

Or, derivatives is as derivatives does.

Trade, if you like. Tiptoe through those tulips manias. But the Big Short Cometh. Always.

Because big appetites, ever & always well short of satiety, are the motor of the world. And that motor is the one true perpetual motion machine ... because there's so much fellow human fuel out there that keeps it running.
