She's actually kind of cute in this picture. The smile on her face shows a bit of innocence.

Calling her a philosopher is an insult to all the great philosophers. Ayn Rand was just a cum dumpster.

Whoa, whoa! Are you trying to say my beliefs are inconsistent? Regardless of who is being discussed I hold my beliefs as universal truths. That's because I each and every one of them out the their necessary conclusions based on logic and rationality.

She received social security which you have to pay into to receive, not exactly the dole.

>she promoted the primacy of reason but also let her emotions drive her decisions both in a personal and professional aspect
I don't know enough about Ayn Rand's decision making process to comment.

>>she worshiped the freedom of the individual but ran her circle of friends like a dictatorship
Only one thing, her circle of friends is a voluntary social community and if they don't like Ayn Rand they're free to leave her.

>> No.4906665

>>4906592
>which you have to pay into to receive
that's another thing, she believed taxation is theft by the state but apparently she paid taxes to get benefits. which she APPLIED for

>her circle of friends is a voluntary social community
the point is she didn't respect their freedom of thought or expression, even though that's a cornerstone of her philosophy

To be honest, yes. Look at how her philosophy has been implemented in the US. People have tried for years and years to create Marxist societies and all have failed. Marxism isn't compatible with human nature. Ayn Rand's philosophy must be the only philosophy that has been properly implemented. It's why the US has the largest economy and the happiest people. People from other countries get upset when they see American patriotism, but you would be patriotic too if your lives were so great. And why are our lives so great? Because of Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged should be mandatory reading for all students.
