Ayn Rand was nuts

This woman's name has come up in here before as a shining light for the rightists.
I have not read her junk, nor am I inclined to ever do so.

I find it interesting that the rightists would use this seriously flawed person as their flag bearer.
Her judgment and attitudes toward humanity seem to be in need of a second look by those so inspired by her fumbling scratches refered to as writing.

Here's a couple of examples of why the rightists need to take another kook as their inspiration...

This was one seriously troubled mind. If she was capable of such a majestic lapse of reason in her admiration of this psycho killer, what else could this nutbar have been wrong about?

Rand's problem is that she lived at one extreme of society in the USSR. when she got out she embraced the complete opposite. SHe was unable to see anything in the middle. Her writing is Black and white, no gray. sadly She went from living in a communist communal state to one that embraced greed and selfishness

Ayn Rand is A Goddess. Charles Sheen has two Goddesses and Sheen is My God.

I am so glad In This World, there are People who do not See, Eye To Eye.

Makes for Good Neighbors.

Yes yes you said the opposite of everyone else. WTG

Knowing that she thought of the masses as lice and parasites is enough for me to form an opinion.
You can cling to your illusions of hightened levels of awareness if you wish, this woman was a complete whack-job and only spoke for those who's sense of entitlement is out of proportion with their contribution to society.

Oh this is sweet, do you mind if I watch?

People who have never developed past that stage of infancy, where everything is about themselves, are the only followers of this woman.
Her writings put the meat on the bones of a lifestyle that is shallow, self concerned and ignorant of the commons. Anyone attempting to live this way at any time in human history, other than the present, would have been banished from the community.
Contribute to the society you are a part of or be gone. There is no room for the frivolous.

The foolishness of thinking one can survive as an island shows an absolute break with reality. I'm sure that over the course of time, there have been many who went off to attempt to fulfill this desire but they seem to have not passed on their genes. That means they died alone in the wilderness.

Rand wasn't a prophet or a philosopher. She was a selfish, shallow and foolish woman with poor judgment when it came to the realities of life.
The only reason her works survive is the need of the super self concerned to have external justifications for their own greed and lack of personal development.

Nope, she wasn't, she was just an author and philosopher. She liked to engage in polemic. There are plenty of serial killers in fiction, Hannibal Lecter comes instantly to mind. Does that mean Thomas Harris is a whack-job? What about the millions that love Hannibal Lecter and root for him?

Not, of course, that any of that matters, they're just ad hominem attacks without any real relevance.
