Watch out Carr4MVP, he's setting you up to call you the big R-word! I know how these clowns operate. So do you for that matter.

I don't give a shit about the "rising from the dead" part. PLENTY of people both real and historical along with the fictional characters in your book have actually lived up to their own belief system. Rand is not one of them. Quote:

As far as what Ayn Rand's estate does, that has nothing to do with her, and even less to do with her beliefs. She is dead, friend, and was dead far before the PPP loans. She isn't coming back either. You act like you expect her to rise from the grave and put a stop to this PPP fraud. Only Jesus did that. |

I'm full of shit on a lot of things, Fish, but I don't know how one could fake being well read. Because to fake being well read, the best way to do that would be to read a lot. But at that point, it is no longer fake lol. Hey Fish. Look up my name, Vladimir Kyrilytch on the internet. You will find that isn't my name at all, it is a literary character better known as VK Ratliff. Both VK Ratliff and Vladimir Kyrilytch are literary characters created by William Faulkner. But you don't think I've read anything is that your stance? Last edited by Vladimir_Kyrilytch; 07-25-2022 at 12:06 PM.. |

You say you read it all Janx, and you have your references. But 1 chapter of the Fountainhead puts you on tilt. Why might that be? Afraid it'll resonate? |

I'm a clown for asking him what he means? If what he is saying is that he thinks white men are becoming second rate citizens then he should say that. Because that's what it sounds like he is saying but i want to make sure first. |

Are you familiar with Jones Cola? Neat company that puts out soda pop in a multitude of flavors. I didn't have to drink the Turkey & Gravy flavored soda to know I wasn't going to like it... especially after having already tried the Egg Nog Soda and even found their more traditionally flavor sodas to be lacking in the flavor to expense ratio. Same with Rand. She is a clown that deserves the same amount of attention as L. Ron Hubbard. |

Ayn Rand believed that a person would be best motivated to become the best person he or she could become if that person was less encumbered and more encouraged. She would hate having grade school teachers spend 80% of their time trying to get the worst 5% of the students to pay attention. She would promote spending more time on the talented student that gets ignored because that student gets okay grades. She would say, let's focus on that student, and less on the one with behavioral problems. What would that lead to as a society, she would ask? Maybe something better. Less farfetched.

Politically, I think take 80% of her ideas and run a nation on it, and you have the best nation ever. Leave the more out there 20% as an artist that didn't spend a ton of time in the real world. That last 20% can be disregarded, but the 80% is so on point, I vote for anyone that has an objectivist background. What books do you read Mr. Janx? And mind you that currently I am reading "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. Of course, maybe I'm completely lying about ever having read anything, as that last guy accused. I'm going deep into stoicsm with this Aurelius. I still think Jesus has all these other philosophies beat though. |
