Could you explain to me how Love and rationally selfishness come together?🦦
Maybe it worked for Ayn Rand but it did not seem to work so well for her husband 
although, given how this paragraph ended and knowing a tiny bit about human nature, I’m suspicious that it might not have worked out for her either
She was an emotional nihilist. Atlas Shrugged was a cool concept, dragged on and on through the mud.
I haven’t read it tbh. I read The Fountainhead, and actually enjoyed it as a story quite a lot. I think it’s in a different vein a bit, mining the life of Frank Lloyd Wright
Aside from the fact that she diligently cashed Social Security checks in her old age but demonized welfare, there are many inconsistencies in her philosophy of selfishness.
She was a passable Hollywood screenwriter and capable of Abstraction based on a well functioning analytical mind but as a philosopher she was stuck in discriminatory and misanthropic fiction and half-baked utopias.
Her ideas seem to be extremely anchored in American society and the fact that she has so many advocates from high finance and low politics (Trump's favorite author) is not surprising. She is now experiencing a renaissance, as we are living with war like in her high time , but the fact that she is quoted by many influencers and dudes with a lack of understanding that her basics and ideas of a new world are elitist ( and would exclude them and the majority of society) is quite a phenomenon.
