Eesha Pandit and Corey Robin discuss Ayn Rand's philosophy as being a shallow view of the world; one that doesn't require deeper examination.

  • Rands great observation is that reality isn't complicated...things ARE what they are and that's that. If things were otherwise then we would have a contradictory universe where things were in constant flux and life as we know it would be impossible.

  • "Shallow" would more accurately describe the three commentators in this ridiculous video.

    "Language FAILS."

  • The commentators threw out their opinion of Rand as shallow,and did not spend even ONE SECOND to justify their view.They didnt even TRY.I suspect these commentators have a fruitfly IQ and have never spoken to someone who isnt a stoned hippie.

    Leftists should feel equally insulted by this vid. A lot of smart people are leftists and they realize that views must be backed up with reasons. I am not sure these commentators even understand the concept that views need to be backed up with reason.

  • Haha, butthurt rightists here, rand is deeply flawed and one of the most overated writers of all time

  • i don't think your mind runs very deep bitch

  • wait, is this real?

  • isn't hysterical that Laura flanders has this" feminist mouthpiece" job because shes a nice piece of ass.

  • Here's an interesting question.Which one of these shitheads is dumber?

    1, the one who thinks Ayn Rand is "a convenient muse for the right"

    2. the one who's hearing echos of Sara Palin........or

    3. the one who thinks Aristotle said " I've said everything there is to be said about the world"

    Discuss......

    (note to Corey Robin; I know your plan and it's not going to work. THIS WILL NOT GET YOU LAID!)

  • Eesha Pandit and Corey Robin tell us there is no depth to Ayn Rands point of veiw. I am literally rolling on the floor laughing! THIS IS A RIOT!

  • Pretty strong assertion from these guys for only 2 minutes of explanation

  • Ayn Rand=Sarah Palin? You gotta be shittin' me.
