Why is it so hard for some people to understand her philosop

>>9456123
was rand autisitic?

>>9456123
In the abstract, being an egoist =/= being an asshole, but Rand's """egoism""" (as elaborated by her throughout her life) is a long way away from the less ideological and more pure egoism you're thinking of. There's a reason people shit on objectivism and Rand without criticizing stirner or nietzsche

>My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.

What? It's probably the easiest philosophy to grasp, which doesn't make it any less idiotic. You're a meme, friend.

Stirner is a literal non-entity compared to Rand's influence, though I'm glad he's experiencing a brief comeback as a funny internet meme

followed by a buzzword and "meme"
good shitpost

Mate, Stirner's a literal non-entity to 50 Cent's influence too. And so is Rand. What's your point?

The assume self-responsibility, work hard, make your own meaning, but within capitalism meme was an American protestant thing more than an objectivist thing. Rand is simply what upper middle class, but undereducated American industrialists read from time to time.

>I have no faith at all, i only hold conviction

>>9456285
Yeah, that's why I had to add "and nietzsche" even though he doesn't really espouse the kind of egoism I was thinking of

rush is rand-core

Probably. Watch some of her interviews if you haven't.

Rand/objectivism is retard-tier.
