  • @willingtorisk ... One of the most insightful things I ever read, even though I find no fault with Rand's obvious teaching there was something about her that did not sit with well me , but your statments illustrate what is wrong with her philosphy.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT!

  • Beautiful!

  • false dichotomy after false dichotomy. @ 5:12 "Does man acquire knowledge by a process of reason or or by sudden revelation from a supernatural power?" If you can't gain knowledge through reason, then it must be supernatural.

  • ayn's popularity arises from narcissistic culture. We will start when we get beyond the dominance culture, and move toward consciousness. Those who are stuck are so because they are afraid of death and don't know it, the children of a narcissistic culture, the little objects so scared they chose primal dissociation, and then fart bag blow hards like ayn taught their superiority, rather than a humble truth...we haven't even started yet. To ayn's fans, ifuck you

  • The way Rand is framing these questions is far to polarized. Reason is not without fault. Knowledge is acquired both on an individual and collective level.

  • good video,

    even better book

    thanks for this!

  • @Sivels in spirit, absolutely. rand has a few shortcomings - but the base of her ideas is the right one.

  • this is very interesting!! great points.
