Not sure i agree.

As much as great people can be narcissistic i find lesser people to be equally as bad in their envy and jealousy.

What I took from rand is that you shouldn’t compromise on your ideals and values, no matter what the rest of society is saying.

Mandibles was an interesting read, but it is clearly lacking in a deeper message.

People will be reading atlas shrugged and the fountainhead for decades to come.

Rand’s outlook was “I’m better than them, therefore I shouldn’t be beholden to them.”

As I read it.

Life is way more complicated than her simplistic egoism.

But as I said, it’s an important philosophy for most people in their 20’s.

lol fair takes all round. but hey, rand definitely punched the tar baby of collectivism harder than anyone else - even if her prose is like listening to a bitcoin maxi at 3am. u either come out forged or so annoyed u grow up. both valid outcomes.
