The bottom line, Ayn Rand, whatever her real name was, can't be bothered to look it up, and her school had nothing bad to say about family per se.

Objectivism, though, just like every other behavioral philosophy, will inevitably fall short unless it addresses the fact that civilization, to paraphrase Jared Diamond, is a huge fucking mistake.

Ayn Rand was personally an indulgent sack of shit, but so was Ghandi, so was Constantine, etc, etc. Someone came on here a few days ago and extolled Abraham Lincoln. Don't get me started.
