[[Robert Stadler]] is a naïve scientist who actually believes that government-supported "pure scientific" investigation is noble. Floyd Ferris does not try to be noble at all. Like [[John Galt]], Ferris understands, as Robert Stadler does not, that all science must have a practical purpose in order to have value at all. ''Un''like John Galt, Floyd Ferris prefers to devote his talents to ''de''struction, rather than ''con''struction.

[[John Holdren]], the new [[science]] [[Obama Administration#Czars|czar]] in the [[Barack Hussein Obama]] [[Obama Administration|administration]], has proposed many policy initiatives that are remarkably similar to those of Floyd Ferris. He has never gone so far as to advocate [[cannibalism]], but he has in fact suggested mandatory [[abortion]], even in the [[United States]], as a means of population control.<ref name=zahn>Zahn D, "Obama science czar Holdren called for forced abortions
'Comprehensive Planetary Regime could control development, distribution of all natural resources'", ''WorldNetDaily'', 12 June 2009. <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103707></ref>
