  • How do you know that he didn't read or understand Atlas Shrugged?

    You give us a nice Cliff Notes version of what he "missed", but how do you know he missed those points? What exactly was the purpose of your dialogue?

  • My first couple of sentences gives the purpose of my dialogue.

    He "missed" those points because he made claims that are INCONSISTENT with what Ayn Rand wrote.

  • So, everyone who reads Atlas Shrugged must become convinced to completely agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism? I don't buy this argument. Reading a book doesn't mean that one must completely agree with it.

  • That's not what I said. I said he CLAIMED Rand's philosophy stated something that it did not...

  • Well said my friend, enjoyed you video.

  • Period!

  • Couldn't have said it better myself. Very well thought out. Like it or not, it is the truth. Economics 101. Human nature dictates that altruism is doomed to failure on a statewide level. Where there is no incentive to achieve and reward to fail there can be no prosperity, no wealth, no higher standard of living.

  • 100 people working together is better than 1 person working alone. Even 2 people working together is better than 1 person working alone. Put a group of people on a deserted island and the first thing they'll do is form a government coupled with an implied, implicit social contract. People living in groups working together with an implied social contract prevented the extinction of humans via being eaten by wild dogs.

  • Blah blah blah bullshit! Virtue of selfishness equals sociopathy.

  • in other words, did the SOTU mean anything?

  • i got more flavor than fruits got gum
