It is good that we can have our own interpretation of Rand's ideas.
She allows people to practice unbridled capitalism, just like all the Isms allow unbridled government.
Man unrestrained by morality does not improve the condition of man in the world.
</Humanism>
there was a scienties to published a paper about altruism is really self interest. He died trying to disprove his paper. Today one of the few papers ever published with no footnotes and an entirely original piece.
Rand has a viable and logical message in this day and age. Conceeding reason and sole reliance on mere faith alone guarantees defeat in a political debate.
The fact of the matter is the left has no morality. The left is left to practice whatever hedonism, fetish or tactile indulgence is needed to cultivate their low information followers. In the 1960’s hippies were seduced by mind numbing drugs. in the 1950’s thespians were seduced by egotism and illusery significance via communism. Today it is just “Obamma gonna’ pay mah mortgage!”
The medium is the message. Not logic, no reason.
Forgive the rambling.
