ONE FOR SKIP
It’s not often that I run into Objectivism-related articles in my home ed screens.
So the literary folks aren’t so keen on Rand. That hasn’t stopped her from carving out a fair amount of influence. Her followers are a wide and varied bunch. Alan Greenspan has declared himself a devoted Objectivist; so has Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. Members of the Canadian band Rush are among the most Randian of rockers. Billie Jean King and Hugh Hefner are also devotees.
There are dating services that cater exclusively to Objectivists, and educational consultants have made a niche for themselves by advising on how to home-school children the Objectivist way.
Homeschool consultants? No one ever said the free market couldn’t be stupid. 🙂

I think a free market sort of guarantees some stupid! |

Rand? ayn Rand? There is no virtue in selfishness. I don’t care what religion or none. Where – where is the culture that promotes selfishness? It’s not a virtue. Sorry, Daryl – couldn’t get past that headline. |

Every culture promotes selfishness. They just pay some very ostentatious lip service to its opposite. Sorry, Unique, hate to disillusion you. |
