Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[Mister Agenda]

I agree that any "closed system" of morality is a bad idea, in my opinion.

We learn and we grow. I don't know why you'd try to stifle that.

It does indeed sound like social Darwinism, which is utterly insane to me. How the word "should" is even applied in such situations, I don't know. We "should" be maximally selfish at the expense of others? Says who, nature? I doubt any reasonable person would find this compelling anyway.

I think you could make a strong case that she tries to get an 'ought' from an 'is' and fails; as Hume would have predicted.
