While there are massive important fallacies to explore in Ayn Rand's philosophy of "moral objectivism" in Atlas Shrugged, I did agree with the her implication when she wrote how John Galt, Francisco D'Anconia, and Ragnar Daneskjold (the most "capable" men in her fictional world) double-majored in Philosophy and Physics.

John Galt, Francisco D’Anconia, and Ragnar Daneskjold (the most “capable” men in her fictional world) double-majored in Philosophy and Physics.

I mean, I was referring to real people not AnCap Fanfiction people.

Yes, I know.

I was referring to the implied importance of Philosophy and Physics as foundational areas of study.
