You're following the wrong philosophers. Ayn Rand was a horrible human being. Her roots came out of Russia and she hated the working person, calling them vermin. She was a hard-core atheist and was head of a cult like group.
She made one of the members of the cult who was married and much younger than her, have sex with her and insisted that his wife put up with it.
In her old age when she was dying of cancer she relied on Social Security and Medicare, two programs that she railed against all her life and hated.
You need to find yourself other mentors. Ones with a conscience and a soul: and maybe a little intelligence. YOu might want to start with the biography of Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead.
It is interesting that Paul Ryan also loved Ayn Rand. And he seemed to be clueless about the fact that he was a devout Catholic and she was a devout atheist. Somehow he squared that circle in his mind as he made all his staff read Ayn Rand. |
