"Hey, Ayn, tell be about objectivism"
"Whatever a person feels makes them happiest is moral"
"You just described subjectivism"
"No, subjectivism is the idea that whatever a person decides makes themselves happiest is moral"

>not understanding the altruism she was referring to
>the belief that one ought to live for another
>not understanding her argument

She argued altruism was evil since it can be used to excuse horrid things. Her and her family were victims of altruism when the bolsheviks confiscated her father's property.

(((Rand))) is just a buttmad Russian Merchant. The Soviets took her family's business and ran them out of the country.

>>1592780
I honestly agree with most of her philosophy, it's reasoning simply seems backwards. True moral objectivism can be easily argued as a logical reasoning for collectivism and altruism, while subjectivism shows that there is no such thing as something purely altruistic, and is thus a much better philosophical standpoint against collectivist altruism.
But for some reason, Ayn Rand decided to go through mental gymnastics to claim her subjectivism is objectivism.

Morality isn't subjective

It doesn't exist

But what if a plane crashes in your backyard and then the victims family's are mad and then they want the plane crash investigated but there is not government agency to investigate plan crashes,


OH WHATEVER WILL WE DO

HOW CAN WE LIVE LIKE THIS

Taking money from a system you pay into is not hypocritical

>>1592743
It makes sense though, because the definition is objective.

Everything on this planet has been used to excuse horrid things.
What's her point?

>>1592798

Oh i agree, Rand's philosophy leaves alot to be desired, but one doesn't need to strawman it as saying that any act of charity is wrong and evil. because it's naive at best and at worst completely misrepresenting her position. Rand always said what people do with their stuff is their business

>>1593033
Charity isn't wrong. Self sacrifice to the determent of ones own self interest is wrong.

It's weird learning how many GoP politicians are or were hardcore objectivists.

Despite being pretty irrelevant among philosophers she probably has had the greatest political influence in the modern age. Well besides Marx.

>>1593219

Solid proof of reincarnation

Isn't it fair to say that most of her ideas predate her? Adam Smith came up with all this stuff. Rand just took it to autistic levels and called it a philosophy.

I audibly kek'd

>>1593278
Adam Smith was based on morality.

>>1593297

You'll need to elaborate on that because it could be interpreted 1000 different ways.

He thought free markets were moral and just compared to mercantilism. Markets would bring about a more egalitarian and equal society and markets would self normalize. He also thought that there should be public universal education and was in support of regulation when it helped the working class. He was not an edgelord at all.

Oh, you mean he believed in capitalism but wasn't a turbo-autist about it like Rand? I agree with that.

Rand is literally one of the most spooked people that ever existed. Her individualist assholism was founded on spooks.

It exists in the mind, so it still exists in some form. It is subjective based on the person, who they are.

>>1592679

If morality is subjective, then you can't actually say that she is wrong.

>>1592780
> Her and her family were victims of altruism when the bolsheviks confiscated her father's property.
Taking money from a system they pay into is in their rational self-interest.

>>1592729
And have an obsession with heavy industry.

>>1592679

Ayn Rand was just a woman who wanted some big hunky engineer/architect to fuck her really hard in the ass.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

>>1592679
itt: people who were too illiterate to understand objectivism

Perhaps if she made a coloring book you guys would have appreciated it more.

>>1594298

I don't think she was completely wrong, but she wasn't completely right either.

>>1594297
Agreed, but she had the most round-about way of trying to achieve that.
