So you are a typical Rand nay-sayer in that you haven't actually read the book. Lots of people love her books and don't view reading them as self-flaggelation, including myself. On the other hand, lots of people view reading a basic calculus textbook as self-flaggelation, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

  > No, but calculus is demonstrably valid and has real-world benefit. Rand, on the other hand, is fantasy for assholes. I've put up with your rude and relatively empty comments nicely and patiently for 2 comments now. But calling your fellow commenters on this site assholes is crossing a line. Especially when you admitted you didn't read the book. Instead of having a graceful intellectual conversation you just double down on being a jerk. There's nothing I have to say to argue against that. Because it's obvious to all that when you replace discussion with incivility, you have no argument. I hope you will find a community that is more suitable to your style of communication. Flagged.

    The Gary Cooper movie (that she wrote) was pretty funny, though.
