My interesting story with Objectivists:

I was on the mailing list for the Ayn Rand Institute. I put myself on it, because when I was a teenager I was interested and wanted more information about Rand/Objectivism. The Ayn Rand Institute sent me a brochure detailing how I could fly to their HQ (in California, somewhere) and spend a week learning about Rand and talking with other Objectivists--an excursion that would only cost me over 2,000 dollars.

I never received anything else from them at all.

Objectivism is selfish Quentin don't try to make it into something it is not. The problem is that most follow crude and damaging viewpoints on selfishness.

Aren't you religious anyways Quentin? That isn't compatible with objectivism.

Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nothing other than living to suit one's own needs. Why bring Rand into it at all?

You're a sheep, Quentin. If you weren't, you would just live as well as you could, taking care of yourself and doing what you could to support yourself.

Instead, you have to summon the name of Rand to justify living as you do - you find it impossible to live as you want to, on your own terms, but can only live as you want, under Rand's terms.

You can intellectualize it all you like, but that doesn't change the fact that you are scared to live life on an individual basis. You have to call forth an entire philosophical system to live your life.

Sad. Really, sad.

I've never met an objectivist who claims he "doesn't do things for others". Nor do I believe that holding your fellow man in contempt is a tenet of objectivism.

The idea that objectivists are all misanthropes is a pretty poor straw man not unlike the "hipster" in this comic.

Whether or not you brought Rand into it is, quite frankly, beside the point. You still felt the need to bring Rand's philosophy into it - why not just live as you do, without calling upon Objectivism to justify your lifestyle? That makes you a fucking faggot.

Quentin/Stagolee/Poppalagio/that other name are all him being authentic.

While this is a decent troll you are doing, you are still Quentin way too much credit.

He's just some angsty 15-16yr old who was recently having conversations with Fabulous about how fucking scary it is learning how to drive.

He is exactly what he appears to be.
