I like Rand for a lot of practical reasons however it might be the wiser course to view this life as a test for eternity.

When it comes to the great hereafter keep in mind what G.K. Chesterton said.

"We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God." GKC

When it comes to bickering with lunatics on SI keep this in mind.

"If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it...The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason." GKC

When it comes to dealing with the government keep this in mind.

"Government has become ungovernable; that is, it cannot leave off governing. Law has become lawless; that is, it cannot see where laws should stop. The chief feature of our time is the meekness of the mob and the madness of the government." GKC

"No society can survive the socialist fallacy that there is an absolutely unlimited number of inspired officials and an absolutely unlimited amount of money to pay them." GKC

When it comes to science and faith keep this in mind.

"Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all." GKC
