Hold on, actually let's hope for this to succeed so they relax and we get a bigger catch next time
Someone who's good with art, help me pitch rich people on a massive underwater city that's only for rich people and nothing bad will ever happen to rich people there
Build it as the Ayn Rand dream for good measure
I really gotta play that game eventually, tho they say it's not cool enough cuz it's a libertarian critique of libertarianism
It deconstructs Ayn Rand by playing it straight. Don't expect Disco Elysium analysis, but it does have good writing. Excellent twist for its time, and I won't spoil it just in case.
The twist is an m. night shamelan (close enough) "free will is an illusion" rug pull but I really don't think it takes away from the criticism of how they got to that point.
Good plan, good plan
