Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[abaris]

Abaris, given you left off the last paragraph of my post you responded to; just want to make sure: do you think I support Rand's position?

Even if you did, it wouldn't be any business of mine. I give you my opinion, you give me yours. I quoted the part that seemed most interesting to me. Since I wanted to make it clear that I never said, she actually called for preying on the weak. Just to look the other way.

As I said before, there are certain elements in Rand's philosophy I actually support. Common sense, rationale, striving for fulfillment. But I don't buy the whole package with looking the other way when anyone's in need. And I think the bad outweighs the good, since Rand to the letter would lead to soiopathic behavior.
