The biggest rent seeking parasitic retard in that book.

If there is any one proof of a man’s incompetence, it is the stagnant mentality of a worker (or of a professor) who, doing some small, routine job in a vast undertaking, does not care to look beyond the lever of a machine (or the lectern of a classroom), does not choose to know how the machine (or the classroom) got there or what makes his job possible, and proclaims that the management of the undertaking is parasitical and unnecessary.

This line that of argument that the collection of social securtity by Rand is; contradictory to her philosophy, hypocritical of her personally, and aesthecally incongruous to Objectivsm's cultural thrust, I presume?
Would you like to know why it is none of these 3?

Speaking in the name of a professor and a worker?

Moving beyond one's own ego in order to see 'the bigger picture'? Well, I see that she found it unbearable to do anything of her own except marketing herself for conservatives and libertarians and commodifying her dumbed-down philosophical takes inquired in Aristotle and Nietzsche. Probably she missed the 'grand scheme' or the 'transcendental' state-aparatus of a system pretending to serve the working class (USSR). How careful of her to proclaim her disdain of such 'parasitical' system only after leaving it.

Oh Lord, may the working class seek the meaning which goes beyond the lever of a machine and how it 'got there' (I really wonder, how did this machine come to be, ey?). If only the workers could somehow find such meaning in order to take hold of their working fate, if only they could take hold of their job and their equipment...

If only they were guided by a thinking Being and not a mechanical one, missing on any touch of significance in their dealings...

Is that what Rand was on about?
