Because most of the time, when you get on my back, it is about Rand........ No. Most of my time I am on your back about Kant. I give Rand credit for not saying things like this... "No matter what torments I have to suffer, I can live morally. I must suffer them all, including the torments of death, rather than commit a disgraceful action. The moment I can no longer live in honour but become unworthy of life by such an action, I can no longer live at all. Thus it is far better to die honoured and respected than to prolong one's life . . . by a disgraceful act . . . . If, for instance, a woman cannot preserve her life any longer except by surrendering her person to the will of another, she is bound to give up her life rather than dishonour humanity in her own person, which is what she would be doing in giving herself up as a thing to the will of another. Immanuel Kant, Lectures on Ethics (1775-81; the Vorlesung) After Aristotle not much happened in philosophy.
