I read her book Atlas Shrugged in Highschool and just finished watching the two made for TV movie films based on the book on On Demand and I have the same question then as I do now...


Was that bitch's teachings based on selfishness?

WE AS A PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN SELFISHNESS? SERIOUSLY???

And it rings a bell in overindulgent children from wealthy/connected families. That's why the Paul Ryans and Rand (his father actually named him after Ayn Rand) Paul's of the world love this chick... until they get called on it then they run the other way.

And he makes a lot of posts too!

My 2 cents - mamy scientists are academians, and therefore live off the largesse of society, and are more likely to have a collectivist thought pattern. And those that don't lie in order to stay in the good grace of the rest. Science has a shit load of politics in it, just like the rest of society. See the AGW crowd for example.

What a coincidences!

Ayn Rand Railed Against Government Benefits, But Grabbed
Social Security and Medicare When She Needed Them<blockquote>At least she put up a fight before succumbing
to the imperatives of the real world.</blockquote>
January 28, 2011

Ayn Rand was not only a schlock novelist, she was also the progenitor of a sweeping “moral philosophy” that justifies the privilege of the wealthy and demonizes not only the slothful, undeserving poor but the lackluster middle-classes as well.

Her books provided wide-ranging parables of "parasites," "looters" and "moochers" using the levers of government to steal the fruits of her heroes' labor. In the real world, however, Rand herself received Social Security payments and Medicare benefits under the name of Ann O'Connor (her husband was Frank O'Connor).

As Michael Ford of Xavier University's Center for the Study of the American Dream wrote, “In the end, Miss Rand was a hypocrite but she could never be faulted for failing to act in her own self-interest.”...............
