I suppose the worst thing about it from the majority of its lay critics was how its philosophy got co-opted by so many libertarians. Once you get past that, it wasn’t a very bad book, even though I’m not a Rand fan. We live with all sorts of strange moral juxtapositions. One that’s endlessly baffling to me is how people will not view human generosity as a blessing to be appreciated, but a sign of weakness to be exploited. If you’ve ever been weighted down under the impression you’re a bad person because you’ve stopped setting yourself up to be an advantage prop for someone else, just remember in the eyes of these people, you’ll be an asshole no matter what you do. As such, I have no problem being an a-ho to others. Loyalty often lasts only as long as the need does. The fastest way to incur hate isn’t to betray someone, it’s to help them too much.
