ayn rand was not rational. nor did her philosophy bring her happiness. as a former objectivist, I can testify to how much more I achieved in my life as a result of leaving miss rands philosophy in the dust. I may not be whistling dixie out of my bunghole, but believe you me, im happier.
I see where chris is coming from -- objectivists are posers -- as i once was before i stopped blaming the world for my failures.
I think it's funny that objectivists' standard response to anyone asking questions about her ideas is to "read atlas shrugged", like people here are unable of putting into their own words what rand meant.
rand got what she craved -- a crowd of worshippers who quote her work as dogmatically as a baptist quotes the bible.
: Instead of trying to pick fights, I suggest you use rational thought. The only thing your message does is repeat old rhetoric. If you think Ayn Rand's philosophy is oversimplified, point out its oversimplifications.
