This is quite a tough read for me, but sometimes I read something which I actually have the intellectual capacity to understand and it makes it worth it.
LSD led me to this book.
Has anybody read it? What did you think of it?

Aym Rand is pure shit and I hate her
>>7725871

Rand spoke the truth and nobody likes that

She espoused libertarian ideas.
Her philosophy isn't sound.
She didn't live by her professed values.
She was a very successful author while not being technically great.
Plebs hate her because her arguments are good enough that they require a bit of reading and philosophical knowledge to deconstruct.
Patricians accept that she was a popular philosopher who had good ideas, bad ideas, interesting ideas, and books that were just ok.

I enjoyed it when I read it at age 18, then I voted for Garry Johnson.
I've come to realize that libertarian economics are as scientifically supported as communist economics, and Ayn Rand was a racist hypocrite. If she thought businessmen were so great she should have been one (and she would have failed terribly).

If you're referring to her taking Social Security, you're neglecting to remember that she'd been paying into Social Security for her entire career in the US. It would be silly to not take benefits when you've paid for them for years.
