>I actually find myself agreeing with themes and ideas

What themes or ideas?

>>8098573
libertarianism, individualism, anarchy-capitalism, objectivism

I've only read the fountainhead. I liked it a lot. The hate you see on here is just a meme. Everyone actually likes it.

That you should look after yourself only and that stuff like rape and torture is OK only if you can get away with it and enjoy it (people eventually die anyway and they are scum).

Rand is everything wrong with the American ideology. Enjoy your journey becoming le next trendy innovative tech entrepreneur.

Read Max Stirner next to really despook yourself

Ayn Rand isn't a libertarian. Objectivism is a totalist orientation which condemns altruism and other things she viewed as vices. If you want to be an objectivist you have to live your life in a very narrow manner and follow a set of rules.

Mainly the triumph of individualism vs collectivism

I'm new here so forgive me but what does "despook" mean?

>>8098577
You may actually be retarded.

>>8098577
>objectivism
It's just a stepping stone your brain uses while outgrowing your hedonic tendencies

We are all individuals, but once we open our eyes we find ourselves among others.

Read Stirner

>Objectivism.
But it's all subjective.
