I'm an Ayn Rand fan, but I don't like her sex scenes. Rand spent a lot of time building up romantic tension between her heroes. So she made the climax very passionate, but she made the scenes too much like a man breaking a horse's spirit.
Rand also has bad story endings. They just aren't viable models for humanity to solve its problems.
Even with all that, her work is more important and beneficial than the vast majority of stuff out there. I generally point people to her non-fiction works.
Ayn Rand wrote in a very easy to understand manner to express her theories to the common folk. I don't like insulting people, but it just seems like an extremely close minded thing to say, and maybe you missed the point of her book and her philosophy.
This book is retarded. A whole lot of wind bag imaginary reasons to excuse power and violence. Using big words and nice grammar doesn't make things true.
I have read most if not all of the major works of this remarkable philosopher. As much as she would have loved the creation of youtube for all of its intellectual and individual freedom it allows its users, I am saddened by the fact that most of the comments about her views are completely misunderstood and/or purposely smeared. I notice this most when I post serious comments, I get sarcasm, but When I post obvious sarcasm, people get offended. It is for what she gave me I don't give up. R.I.P.
Objectivism is an abhorrent and evil philosophy. The ones who twist it are the conservatives who try to make it sound appealing, when in fact it is a disgusting system devoid of ethics and morality.
Dont be thick. Objectivism has its flaws, but the idea of knowing where to draw a line between being generous and creating sacrifice is in no way wrong. Rand knew what she was doing.
bull068, I think you wrong, our nation just uses other people creativity to express ourselves, Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, most gov. commissioned art. , CNN, All I am saying is Ayn Rand would be pissed.
Objectivism isn't perfect. It requires a world that is totally rational. Obviously, our world is not. Specifically, intimate relationships is where it all falls apart.
A man can be totally rational, his integrity uncompromised. But a man is only half a being. He needs a woman, or he can never be complete.
I am absolutely devoted to objectivism, and I believe that any government should be based upon it.
But there is no single philosophy that sums up human existence. And I take comfort in that.
i must agree that a government should be objective... but thats a whole different aspect of life than that of the personal lives of people...
I am personally a religious person and believe that church and gov't should be separated, and to do so gov't must be objective, this is so all people are rightly accomodated.... this also applies to business... but to apply this to people just seems too... well objective.... I feel that being 100% objective means losing some of your humanity.
Actually, Objectivism fails under its own weight. No society can possibly survive when we are all looking out for our own self-interest alone. Human nature is like fire. Left to its own devices, it will consume everything. Not to mention that Ayn Rand was NOT an objectivist. Had she been she would not have SOLD her books.
In essence, objectivism is doom to failure by its very nature.
a.) At this point the jury is still out on whether the US is the greatest nation in history. At this point the title goes to Ancient Rome, as I see it..
b.) Luck had as much to do with the US rise to power as anything else. Do you really think the US militia could have stood up to the full force of the British Empire had they deemed it worth the resources? And what of WWI and WWII? If not for the way those wars went (with the US enjoying large moments of isolationism), where would it be now?
It is possible to socially condition people to think love is rape but our natural instinks are not always the same or legal. For example if you make me angry I will want to kill you but then I am contitioned to know that doing that would be irational since I would be caught and butt raped in prison as a conspequence. This kind of comparasons are not useful.
I loved the part where he got it on with her without her consent. It's, like, so capitalistic! Like, she only kind of wants it, but her old, tired morality won't let express this feeling, or even indulge in it without any negative conditioned response. But, in the end she gets what she REALLY wants. It's like big business: Sure, all of us CLAIM we want progress, but resist it when it cums because of our stupid old religious anchors. Then. . BAM! Another spewing oil well, another smokestak
Actually I specified that intellectuals only comment about AYN RAND, not making videos in general. She's intended for smart people only so don't mock or belittle her works. And if morons stood away I would never tire of the stimulation intellectuals bring. You see, jackasses love the idea that intellectuals like myself depend heart and soul on putting them down but I speak for the mass of thinkers when I say it's a waste of time to be exposed to them AND a waste of time to have to interact.
Who said I was mocking or "belittling" (not sure if I spelt that correctly) Ayn Rand's work? I like her books and I accept some aspects of Objectivism.
All I wanted to know was if "wrongly" was a word or not
She's actually for semi-smart people who think they're way smarter than they actually are. (You can't be completely stupid and be a pseudo-intellectual or pseudo-philosopher.)
@BOBMAN1980 lolo good point. I think that the people that believe her philosophies really ARE very smart. They just typically read Rand during their formative college years when they really dont know jack shit and then it becomes a lifelong obsession and once they are experienced enough in life to be able to see why rands theories are stupid they are no longer capable of such critical analysis because objectivism has become a part of their ego structure and their pride does not permit scrutiny
@BOBMAN1980 i even think that she was potentially a genius. Its just that she was so scarred from her growing up behind the iron curtain that she had a very very very strong reaction to communism and went too far in the other direction and was unable of looking at things rationally. The true irony is how irrational she was in light of the fact that she claimed a monopoly on rational thought.
I don't need to believe that I am smart. I just want to do what I am capable of doing.
I say that she's for people who seek to be individuals, regardless of what they think about their intelligence. You don't have to be intelligent to be an individual. I certainly don't think that I am above average. I just think that this is something we need today.
I believe in it because I came up with the same thing. I don't believe in labeling people. Everyone has the potential to come up with same thing.
the only interesting part of the book. This was the only book where I read the first 650 pages or so, and couldn't physically get through the last 50 pages. Ayn Rand is a bitch.
While I couldn't watchthe vid since it doesnt actually depict the quarry scene, she was raped by non verbal consent, which brings into illuminaton the act of acquiescencal sex. Literally, still rape, but figuratively, it is not. The works of a novella! :) sometimes what is said in ficton, is what is not said. If you study Voltaire and Checkhov, you can see their archetyal themes in Ayns works.
How can you have the audacity to compare this woman to Voltaire and Chekhov! (learn to spell by the way) No serious scholar ever talks about Ayn Rand as anything other than a philistine and an ideologue. Besides you idiot, Voltaire was known for being a supreme stylist and writing brief, concise books. Ayn Rand possess no such traits.
If you undestand the temporal arts then you will realize that all writers will share axiomatic themes, in this case, archetypal trails even if one did not know the other. This why one writer may have traits of another writer even if they have never known or reach the others' works. Voltaire is not innocent: his comment on Islamic crusades was a distortion in the Candide. However all Philosophy books will always mention Objectivism as a correspondence theory, a truth, unlike Voltaire's fallacy.
Besides, if you will like to use proper literature and grammar etiquette. One should never use the word "you" unless one is giving instructions such as for a receipe, or you are asking the person "to do something." Otherwise for unknown audiences, it is repsectful to use the third person point-of-view. Moreover, are you asking or telling me--and if it's rehetorical then is it a question?
By attempting to close one argument, you open another--be more careful next time!
I'm amused at your pitiful attempt at academic discourse. I am further amused by your validation of objectivism by claiming it is mentioned in Philosophy books. Since I only bother with the works of philosophers and academic criticism, I don't know what sort of books you are talking about. Among those who actually read, objectivism is not a system of thought. At any rate, the response I left in your channel is more attention than you and your "intellect" deserve already.
philistine is a very outdated word, why use it when there are so many active verbs that bare more light. Attck the argument but not me, when you do that, you fall into an agrument fallacy. Argumentum ad hominem
Great writers usually aren't great spellers. You sound like an editor, so do your job! A professor who never his chair while people like me attack the real world daily. Theory vs. probablity--(P) will alawys win since (P) will take place much earlier then the knowledge of theoritics. :)
Lines presuppose consciousness that draw shapes onto ground. Language speaks by thoughts embraced, touching a line to another--we write. Embracing two dimensions, contrasting, light and dark, we show our thoughts to fall for its love.
Great writers usually aren't great spellers? That's an interesting proposition. Can you give any specific examples? It seems a bit like saying that great composers usually aren't very good at reading or writing music.
Ayn Rand's writing style, and her presentation of her ideas in contrast to those of Voltaire were both stated, and understood better. DO NOT speak down about Ayn Rand.
Francon was not, in fact, raped. Simply, Roark had the absolute conviction that she wanted him, and he was man enough to act on that conviction, ... on her romantic challenge to him. Indeed, even by her own acknowlegement, there could have been no malevolence in the undeniable sharing so openly ached for, deliberatly juxtoposed to the immoralality of romantic collectivism (a logical oxymoron.) Individuals, & selfish desire, ... felt fiercely, ... by each, is extremely romantic.
In her own words, she was, in fact, raped. When she returns to the city she says that she wanted to tell people that she was raped, because it would be her own personal victory. It was not rape in the classic sense or the criminal sense, because she was consenting. I strongly doubt that 99% of the people watching this video have read Fountainhead, though, or understand what rape meant in the sense of the two of them having sex.
get some howard, I know that rape isn't suppose to be funny but i always laugh about it so fuck being politically correct, the literary explanation was a nice expert touch.
I thought it was funny. I loved that book, it's probably my favorite, but I can still say that this is pretty funny. A buncha high school kids making a video for school or something.
That's probably the most honest depiction of that damned scene from 'the Fountainhead' I've ever seen, if not the only damned scene. You've got my five stars.
"Hi. No, wait, HELP!"
Remember, Ayn Rand did oppose the feminist movement with every centipede in her vagina.
Once was quite enough, thank you very much. I don't think stereotyping a woman as 'asking for it'/'wanting it' is enough to disqualify that particular scene as a rape scene.
Remember, in Rand, women are frail followers of men, while men are Conan-bodied geniuses (at least, the heroes are). She's just writing what would come to be termed a 'bodice-ripper' in the 1980s: the woman initially didn't want the sex, but she enjoyed it, so that means it's okay.
Ayn Rand did have some rather outdated (by today's standards) ideas about male-female relationships, although the heroine of "Atlas Shrugged," Dagny Taggart, is a strong-willed businesswoman -- hardly a frail flower. Rand also didn't approve of homosexuality. It's interesting to speculate on how her views on those subjects might have changed if she were still alive today.
Should it be any surprise that in America that the Rape scene would get three times the number of views as Howard Roarks court room speech(The most important scene in the movie ). Let this be the evidence of the erroneous philosophy ran by most Americans.
You obviously don't know it, the same videos are linked to no matter which portal you use Youtube through. You can use uk.youtube, jp.youtube, or any other prefix and the number of views will be the same. Those aren't views by Americans but views from everyone in the world who uses Youtube and looked at this video.
Howard Roark was supposed to be a nochalont and stately genios who looked at one with the world when he was doing manual labour. Dominique Fracon was supposed to be the most attractive woman alive (contrary to the picture on the softback edition). And she never screamed rape. Take a closer look at the book you idiots.
This is so fucking ridiculous, I had to laugh ROFL.

Among those who actually read, objectivism is not a system of thought. At any rate, the response I left in your channel is more attention than you and your "intellect" deserve already.

philistine is a very outdated word, why use it when there are so many active verbs that bare more light. Attck the argument but not me, when you do that, you fall into an agrument fallacy. Argumentum ad hominem

Great writers usually aren't great spellers. You sound like an editor, so do your job! A professor who never his chair while people like me attack the real world daily. Theory vs. probablity--(P) will alawys win since (P) will take place much earlier then the knowledge of theoritics. :)

duuuudes, that's like awesome fancy talk. word.
If true disbelievers of ayn rand's theory ye be, continue perfunctory discourse until the morn. Else be silent and allow work to speak for thee.

Words don't need words.
Lines presuppose consciousness that draw shapes onto ground. Language speaks by thoughts embraced, touching a line to another--we write. Embracing two dimensions, contrasting, light and dark, we show our thoughts to fall for its love.

Great writers usually aren't great spellers? That's an interesting proposition. Can you give any specific examples? It seems a bit like saying that great composers usually aren't very good at reading or writing music.

Ayn Rand's writing style, and her presentation of her ideas in contrast to those of Voltaire were both stated, and understood better. DO NOT speak down about Ayn Rand.

Francon was not, in fact, raped. Simply, Roark had the absolute conviction that she wanted him, and he was man enough to act on that conviction, ... on her romantic challenge to him. Indeed, even by her own acknowlegement, there could have been no malevolence in the undeniable sharing so openly ached for, deliberatly juxtoposed to the immoralality of romantic collectivism (a logical oxymoron.) Individuals, & selfish desire, ... felt fiercely, ... by each, is extremely romantic.

In Ayn Rand's words, "IF it was rape" capitalization mine, "It was rape by engraved invitation." So no, it wasn't really rape.

In her own words, she was, in fact, raped. When she returns to the city she says that she wanted to tell people that she was raped, because it would be her own personal victory. It was not rape in the classic sense or the criminal sense, because she was consenting. I strongly doubt that 99% of the people watching this video have read Fountainhead, though, or understand what rape meant in the sense of the two of them having sex.

That's probably the most honest depiction of that damned scene from 'the Fountainhead' I've ever seen, if not the only damned scene. You've got my five stars.
"Hi. No, wait, HELP!"
Remember, Ayn Rand did oppose the feminist movement with every centipede in her vagina.

The rape in the fountainhead was not really a rape.. It was consensual.. You gotta read the book again

Once was quite enough, thank you very much. I don't think stereotyping a woman as 'asking for it'/'wanting it' is enough to disqualify that particular scene as a rape scene.
Remember, in Rand, women are frail followers of men, while men are Conan-bodied geniuses (at least, the heroes are). She's just writing what would come to be termed a 'bodice-ripper' in the 1980s: the woman initially didn't want the sex, but she enjoyed it, so that means it's okay.

Ayn Rand did have some rather outdated (by today's standards) ideas about male-female relationships, although the heroine of "Atlas Shrugged," Dagny Taggart, is a strong-willed businesswoman -- hardly a frail flower. Rand also didn't approve of homosexuality. It's interesting to speculate on how her views on those subjects might have changed if she were still alive today.

Should it be any surprise that in America that the Rape scene would get three times the number of views as Howard Roarks court room speech(The most important scene in the movie ). Let this be the evidence of the erroneous philosophy ran by most Americans.
MyITRcom 3 years ago
You obviously don't know it, the same videos are linked to no matter which portal you use Youtube through. You can use uk.youtube, jp.youtube, or any other prefix and the number of views will be the same. Those aren't views by Americans but views from everyone in the world who uses Youtube and looked at this video.

Howard Roark was supposed to be a nochalont and stately genios who looked at one with the world when he was doing manual labour. Dominique Fracon was supposed to be the most attractive woman alive (contrary to the picture on the softback edition). And she never screamed rape. Take a closer look at the book you idiots.
kcoldie 4 years ago
No, she didn't scream rape, but I believe that later in the book she referred to it as rape, no? A is A; rape is rape. Nice try, though.
