"Who is John Galt?"

Garrett Utt
Garrett Utt

In recent hand, action folded to Garrett Utt on the button. He was short-stacked and moved all in, taking down the blinds and antes. Utt has been drawing questions from his fellow players regarding the hoodie he has been wearing for the past two days. The hoodie in question is black with the words "Who is John Galt?" written on the front.

Although Utt has been unable to answer that question to anyone's satisfaction, some quick internet research reveals the answer. According to Wikipedia:

"John Galt is a fictional character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Although he is absent from much of the text, he is the subject of the novel's often repeated question 'Who is John Galt?' and of the quest to discover the answer. As the plot unfolds, Galt is acknowledged to be a creator and inventor who symbolizes the power of the individual capitalist . . . The book's opening line 'Who is John Galt?' becomes an expression of helplessness and despair at the current state of the novel's fictionalized world."
