“A man chooses, a slave obeys.” — BioShock

From Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture, the underwater utopia gone wrong in BioShock. This is Ryan’s philosophy valuing individual freedom and rationality over collectivism and morality. I can never decide whether I agree with this or not. There's truth in it, but it can be misguided and extreme as well.
