ayn rand

Mid-20th century Pop-philosopher who first propounded objectivism in a set of rather poorly written cult novels. Her philosophy is founded on unremarkable restatements of the obvious, prizing material achievement, self-centered pride, and unfettered commerce as virtues over love, humility, generosity, and faithfulness. Followers of objectivism, called randroids, tend to be a rude, selfish, condescending bunch, intolerant of anything that does not perfectly match their ultra-naturalist, laissez-faire dogmatism.
"A=A, oh, how A=A," the randroid muttered again and again, softly, obsessively, as he cut out heart-shaped pictures of Ayn Rand from a magazine for his objectivist collage showing her to be the pinnacle of human evolution.

Ayn Rand

Philosopher/Novelist who created the Philosopy of Objectivism. Her most Famous book was Atlas Shrugged. You can find tons of bad reviews about this book by people who dont understand it, or never bothered to touch it. Same goes for her Philosopy.
The people that criticize Ayn Rand on this site and speak out about Objectivism only make Objectivists believe in her more. Selfish,yes,Greedy you bet we are.
