Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[robvalue]

What "morality" means is the first thing to agree. Morality is ultimately a matter of opinion, because you can't draw any conclusions until you've agreed this. Even then, it's very hard to agree criteria precise enough that they're not subject to a lot of interpetation.

This Rand person is not using a definition I'd agree to. Or if she is, the defence of her position sounds very flawed. It sounds like she only values herself, ultimately.

Morality, to me, is about deciding how to act in the best interests of people in general. Looking after your own wellbeing is an important part of this, because if you're not strong enough to help others you are of no use to them.
