"Whats so wrong about helping people?" "Nothing, if you do it by your own choice and it's not your primary aim in life" absolutely incredible. Ayn Rand has done the impossible by insinuating that if your main goal in life is to help people you're actually a bad person

I had a libertarian teacher who had us read Atlus Shrugged. I remember thinking, "This... doesn't feel quite as thought out as the rest of the books I've read in school."

The term "Social Darwinism" would have really offended Darwin if he heard about it.

I can't get over the hilarity of Ayn Rand forming "The Collective."
