How Ayn Rand ruined my childhood

When people talk about logic to me I remember a bit from the TV show Andromeda

“Worlds governed by artificial intelligence often learned a hard lesson: Logic Doesn’t Care.”

Yin-Man Wei This Present Darkness: A History of the Interregnum CY 11956

This girl’s father didn’t care, and used logic to excuse it.

On Rand herself. She is the Marxist equivalent of a Satanist. She grew up in the Soviet Union and it effected her strongly and scarred her deeply. So she accepts the Marxist philosophy but inverts it. In her version selfishness is good whereas in Marxism it’s evil. In Marxism collective action is the highest good. In Objectivism it is the darkest evil.

Just as Satanism accepts but inverts the Christian theology so does Objectivism accept but invert Marxism.

Personally, I also think Rand was a sexual submissive. The female characters in her books don’t find fulfillment until they find a ‘Great Man’ to be their Lord and Master. Bad thing to build a philosophy around, and I’m speaking as a dominant.
