It's astonishing to me how much the Ayn Rand quoters on Wall St get their feelings hurt. Aren't these guys supposed to be the rational titans of industry?

- alwold 14y agoI would see the wall street types more fitting into the "looter" category of Rand's philosophy. They are not directly creating anything of value, but instead skimming money from the ventures of those who do.
- dasil003 14y agoLet's not lump everyone together. There will inevitably be some significant minority of people on Wall Street who came there for the respect, and it's little wonder that when they don't get that respect despite the large number of 0s they command they get butt-hurt all too easily.
