@alaa8989 "I will not die, it's the world that will end".

PLIZ somebody told me what you said at 3:26
-
Her basic philosophy is charming, her economics make me gag.
-
Ayn Rand always was an intellectual giant, and she still was at this old age! She has all my respect.
-
If we live in an objective reality, how can she say it is not me who will die, it is the world that will end?
And wouldn't that make her a nihilist? Why not be reccless and destructive. It's not me who will suffer, it's the world that will end.
-
To add to her comments on death and how to look at it, she said in another interview I always remember: "Eternity is now..."
In one of her annual Ford Hall Forum talks in Boston, she responded to a questioner who asked her what she thought would happen to her when she died (to some laughter since she was well known as an atheist), "I presume I will be buried." (more laughter)
Then she added, "Seriously, my body and my mind will cease to exist, but I trust, my ideas will not."
Very profound.

is it just me or did she say quite a few things that blew my mind.

@JoshieDoozie Well said. People hate that which they don't understand and fear.
-
Her ideas break through the many delusions many have about life, society, and people.... that is the main reason so many loathe her, and find any sophomoric rationalizations to discredit her.

I can't believe that this interview was taken in 1981. It is as actual today as it was 30 years ago with only one difference: America has degraded dramatically. degraded economically, socially and politically. SHE IS THE GENIUS.

@LadyScorpio39
Because you shouldn't be called upon to prove a negative. It's like saying "You can't PROVE that there isn't a magical invisible hippo in the room". We shouldn't have to unless there is evidence there is. The responsibility of proof lies with the claim that it DOES exist.
And people are ruled mostly by emotion, not intellect. That is what she's trying to reverse
