Oh dear, reading Rand? Better lay into some No-Doz and upgrade your BS detector ... she can be pretty sly.

Yeah. Ayn Rand is crap.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Reading her works (I avoided her fiction, only read her philosophy stuff) was useful to me. I did buy into it for a while, and so while I reject her basic premise regarding altruism, I do still think she has some good points. She fetishizes individual liberty far too much, in the sense that she seems to reject the idea of a social compact outside of the avoidance of violence.

The main benefit I got from her was not in economic philosophy, and in finding and strengthening the rational underpinnings for my atheism. Before I read her, my atheism was inchoate, unreasonable. After reading her, I found my rationality and pursued it. (Sagan and Randi also played major roles.)

Rand sees everything in black and white. I looked into Objectivism a few years ago and quickly realized it's ridiculous.

He's racist, rude, disrespectful, says all Mexicans are rapists and ALL Muslims are evil. This orange rotten butter sock is your vice presidential candidate.

If your for Drumpf your for what I stated above.

And the economy was never good. Communism has really bad flaws... but sadly so does Capitalism.

I heard Ayn Rand is cool, better read her shit I guess. Sounds fun.
Unless....

Atlas shrugged...

OHHHHHH

I am not voting for the asshole who is also a lying adulterous cheater.  But, I am saying that climate change is Trump's last card, which, if he begins to play it correctly, might get the ball at least back on the court.

That's good, because he's not running for office.
