Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism
RE: Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism
I'm really done arguing with you about this - the fact that we have socialized programs that give everyone clean water, that we're working towards socialized health care, that we have public roads and public education, etc, etc - this is not about "creature comforts". Plenty of people have those things and still live ridiculously hard lives. But those things have also improved their lives - as imperfect as those systems are, they're still better than we were 100 years ago. And a magnitude higher than 500 years ago. This isn't arbitrary it's statistics .

You don't find your family and life exciting? TFB for you - I'm really sorry to hear that. But there are plenty of people who manage to acknowledge how good they have it AND take delight in their life and family and other things. They don't have to go live a scrappy life to do so. I would suggest a counselor to talk about these things.
