Ayn Rand called the masses vermin. IMO, Ayn Rand was a sociopath. She also did not know nearly as much as she thought she did. She was the leader of a cult and everyone had to obey her. Even what movies they watched and whom they could marry. So much for individualism. She took a kid much younger than her as a lover and made his wife and her husband agree to it. She was a very disagreeable person. Her world was an ugly world. I want my children, all children to grow up in a Winnie the Pooh world. A sweet world, not her sour world. Both of my girls have had wonderful lives as a result of my raising them gently. One is a lawyer and one is a scientist and both have solid relationships. They are both also very sweet, honest, compassionate and tough as nails and do things every day to help others and the planet. Rand negates a persons ability to be a nice person for intellectual reasons. Socrates chose death rather than break the social contract. It was an idea.
