Fantastic! More Any Rand gibberish.
If we're converting to a world where giving away your fortune is reprehensible immorality and greedily amassing a Scrooge McDuck-sized pool of gold is the new golden rule, count me out.
What the Randians never seem to understand (as I hop on my soap box) is that the world they want so badly to exist has. The world, red in tooth and claw, existed for millions of years. And here's the thing: it sucked. That's why moral systems developed and evolved beyond their biological inevitability. In a world where individual success is elevated over concern for others, Saddam Hussein is a moral hero. I'll pass on that world. I'll stick with boring old Mother Teresa.
(hop off soap box)
- brudgers 16y agoThe irony is that the Randian "individual" is applied collective entities like corporations.
