Spooks, spooks, and more spooks. It's a veritable haunted house of an ideology.

She's a novelist, dumb dumb.

And a teenager trash one as well

>>7875746

Who are you, again?

Oh, I remember - an unpublished nobody read only by zhir mother.

>>7875790
Wew the invasion really is here, no one regular here is retarded enough to imply that being read implies quality.
Ps
I don't write so zine mother can't read me

>>7875794

I'm regular enough to know that dismissing an author's work as "teenager trash" and then trying to mic drop is poor form. And not just here, bub.

lmao

I thought that was a great description. Am I stupid?

no

I don't know how there are reputable professors of philosophy who subscribe to Objectivism (Onkhar Ghate, Leonard Peikoff, Tara Smith).

Like seriously the leading professor of philosophy at UT Austin is an Objectivist.

Wtf

>we have direct access to objective reality

I Kant believe this claim is founded in anything but "it would be nice if our sense perceptions were isomorphic with noumenal reality"

Rand had some interesting points in her political philosophy but the second she tries to talk about metaphysics/epistemology she immediately proves she knows nothing of actual philosophy.

>Rand had some interesting points in her political philosophy
>that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness (rational self-interest), that the only social system consistent with this morality is one that displays full respect for individual rights embodied in laissez-faire capitalism
I think it's fair to say she also immediately proved she knew nothing about a lot of things.

>>7875546
She thinks people can be free under laissez-faire capitalism, which is historically wrong.

>>7875510
It's like a slaughterhouse for philosophical concepts.

>>7876049
pin point me to the historical event where a laissez-faire capitalistic state governed.

>>7875912
Her political philosophy wasn't so hot either, Edith.

When did all these names appear?

Kant aka Plato aka "There's like, something beyond reality that only I can see, mannnn! That's why I'm justified in running a tyrannical state, exerting totalitarian control over all facets of society, and censoring information as well as filling the peoples' heads with outright lies."
Plato was a filthy Christian papist before Christian papists.

As soon as you accept that the real world is all that matters, it's a short jump to "Where's my fucking money, man?"
