Rand said: "Always act in accordance with the hierarchy of your values and never sacrifice a greater value to a lesser one." You are subconsciously adultering her meanings in order to avoid an either/or confrontation with your fear of seeing clearly. Ayn Rand's philosophy is termed "OBJECTIVISM" not "SUBJECTIVISM". There is a reason for this precise language. Rand believed for the most part in Aristotelian logic--a logic which supported objective values--at least those being subsumed under the aegis or REASON.
