AR didn’t seem to notice that human infants come into the world completely helpless. Should leave at the side of the road because they are unable to look after themselves. Wondering how AR learned to feed herself, walk, talk, read, write, etc. Independence is a value, but certainly not the primary one. We are able very little without the support and engagement of others. Sartre tells that people are hell, but they are a hell that is inescapable for all of us. I believe AR was a human missing a few key pieces.

This channel is what R.C. Waldun's should have been.

Your channel is sooo cool and interesting

Great video as always. I do believe we shouldn't overlook Rand despite the ridicule she typically receives from modern Academia.
|
I don’t hate her but her stuff just seems to me like a derivative of Nietzsche. I do give her props on being atheist and pro choice at the time. If Buckley and National Review hates you you’re doing something right.

What books did you read to base both your Ayn Rand Videos?

I can not help but laugh at the axiom "happiness comes from work", not dissimilar from "work will set you free", and why is that statement not wrong even with historical context, work creates value, where there was none.

Dawkins was less wrong than Rand.. but he was still wrong, selfishness, as we use it, isn't the same thing what Dawkins uses to describe gene's selfishness
just because altruism doesn't consist of little altruism bits, but neurotransmitters and electric currents, doesn't mean that altruism can be replaced with selfishness, either of those are emerging properties above the neural network.
and reason is always a slave of desire.

Like Kissinger, Rand turned her childhood trauma into rampaging narcissism and complete disdain for other humans, dressed up as some sort of philosophy.

🌞I agree with your 7 Life Lessons, #AynRand. I would love to read some of your books. 🌞💐👏👏
|
Atlas shrugged is on my list 😎
|
highly recommend Adam Curtis's documentary - All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. - Objectivism is now our new zeitgeist and most of us don't realise
|
Ayn Rand has one image, where she had not become haggard from smoking
|
Your characterization of Rands view is way off, i don't think its intentional but youre reading into her work other views of selfishness. For example, she did not believe that everybody was selfish, selfishness is something you achieve.
|
Appalling that anyone still gives credence and oxygen to Rand's noxious, callow thought. I'm tempted to unsubscribe, but I appreciate the intelligent and cultured episodes presented here on other subjects.

Cue the Ayn Rand bashers who think they’re clever

I just unsubscribed...the "virtue of selfishness" suggests that the best life has to offer is "objectivism": we are strictly self-rationalizing transactional creatures. To reiterate the nonesensical oxymoron of 'selfish - virtue' is predicated on short-changing one's qualitative rapport with life.

A distinction should be made between the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of meaning, one can lean more selfish than the other
