Chambers put it this way:
Yet from the impromptu and surprisingly gymnastic matings of heroine and three of the heroes, no children — it suddenly strikes you — ever result. The possibility is never entertained. And indeed, the strenuously sterile world of Atlas Shrugged is scarcely a place for children. You speculate that, in life, children probably irk the author and may make her uneasy.
They no doubt made her more than "uneasy": Rand's entire philosophy collapses when confronted with the reality of parenthood. We are, after all, and in direct contradiction of Rand, the means to our children's ends -- and morally obligated to be so.
What else, except "damned fraud," can you call a person whose supposedly rational philosophy can't account for the propagation of the species?
Correct!
Rand was nothing more than an undercover Marxist by being anti- family.They both are non intellectual immoral self serving fools who are easily exposed by moral people
"What else, except "damned fraud," can you call a person whose supposedly rational philosophy can't account for the propagation of the species? "
Check and mate.
Thank you for this precise and penetrating comment. The human race simply cannot persist long enough to creat a "society" (necessarily a multi-generational enterprise) on a basis of godless self-centered materialism.
Whether of the so-called Left or the so-called Right.
