They're picturing a "Galt's Gulch" sort of utopia where only the smartest, most capable people live.
And somehow, some of them are willing to eschew engineering futuristic technology or composing great works of art to grow all the food and sell it at reasonable prices.

In "Atlas Shrugged," Galt's Gulch was a pleasant valley in Colorado hidden from the world under a holographic mountain.
I read it because online right-wingers cited it so much and dismissed my anti-capitalist arguments because I hadn't read it. But after I read it, I realized they hadn't actually read it themselves.

A few were actually shocked and/or refused to believe me.
I think they know quotes from the book and that's it.
I want to talk about how bad it is, but nobody else seems to have read it.
