Just in case you weren’t aware of it, she was indeed a complete raging idiot whose contributions to intellectual thought and theory are exactly on par with that of the great spiritual leader that warned us of the dangers of disembodied alien energy creatures and galactic space overlords that haunt us today after our ancestors failed to blow them up in a volcano laced with hydrogen bombs.
In other words, the tenets of Objectivism are complete hedonistic bullshit and a license for deeply selfish people to piss upon their neighbors. Her teachings if you strip out all the crap that is strategically designed to make it look ‘good’ boils literally down to survival of the fittest and the belief that sheer unadulterated selfishness is a virtue. If Scientology’s belief system is basically a shitty Doctor Who plot from 1971, then Objectivism is basing society’s moral code on Survivor’s All-Star Season. Also, fuck John Galt.
