More Than Winning

Ayn Rand's chilling 1959 interview on 21st century ills

rougy says...

"I object to the idea that people have the right to vote on everything...." (Rand)

Good point. She may have meant that the stupid majority, say kooky Christians against gay marriages, should not abuse their greater numbers against the lesser.

I don't think that's what she had in mind, but....

"I am for the separation of state and economics...just as we had the separation of state and churches....” (Rand)

Another good point, except that neither has ever really happened, ever, in mankind's history.

It has been possible to separate religion from government, but not economics; one is always a subset of the other.

Brilliant woman. Totally fucked up by the trauma of the Russian revolution. Confined herself to a fantasy world, as brilliant as Tolkien's, as spiritual as C.S. Lewis's, as curious as Lewis Carroll's....

But a far cry away from reality.

"Now, here, you see,

-Red Queen to Alice

Memorare says...

What are logical fallacies?
They're whatever you Believe them to be.

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'
-Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
