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.

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...
