“It’s like being in the Valley. It’s wonderful. I think coming away from it, I’ll know that there are real-life Objectivists out there . . . that beyond just the pages of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, there are real people in the modern day that are practicing this.”
“It’s shown me, actually, ways in which things that I have wanted to do for a long time are possible. I see a clearer path, and I can’t express how grateful I am. It’s truly life changing.”
“I found it’s very rare that you can have such intellectual intensity be effortless as well . . . . This experience of joy and connection and productivity really is something I will try to keep up when I go back to Germany.”
“I am beyond excited to experience the marketplace of ideas with a group of like-minded individuals.”
“I have had the opportunity to meet . . . a myriad of amazing people—bright, youthful minds with goals, ambitions and drives to achieve them. These individuals have improved my outlook on life immensely.”
“For the incredible experience I have had, all that it has meant to me, and all that I hope to use it to kindle a brighter future for myself and my convictions—thank you.”
“The lectures have been insightful, the people I’ve met brilliant and kind, and—I hope—the community here permanent. This was truly, in a not-kitsch manner, a soul-nourishing experience.”
