> Ayn Rand - kind to other people?

Rand did not understand genetics. Her opinions were not based on facts, they were mere speculation.

Altruism is a function of genetics and evolution. When people lived in clans altruist's saved their saved their own clan's gene pool which including their own genetics. Same as a parent or uncle sacrificing themself to save a child.

Duh!

Converting to LIBERtarianism in the 70s I heard about Rand right away. It did not take me long to consider her a selfish elitist idiot. In fact it was almost instantaneous.

She was best friends with Edward Bernays the father of scientific propaganda and Alan Greenspan... a loathsome trio of people who never contributed anything of use to anyone except propagandists.
