Title: Appaling
Review: Does Objectivism work in practice? There is one way to find out. When one looks at Ayn Rand's own life (there are several biographies) to see how the objectivist-in-chief conducted herself, it is just stomach-turning and doesn't really inspire the wide-eyed admiration her heroes ellicit among some readers. Her life was in the end a failure and a dead end which is what the life of anyone who buys into this philosophy ends up being. You will find out for example that the people around you are not interested in knowing the virtue of your selfishness.I have to say though, she does a remarkably good job making us feel ok about our prejudices, if that's what you're looking for. This comes out for example when she treats other countries and people as barbaric, showing herself to be shockingly ignorant when it comes to the factors that made the United States the great country that it is. Hint: it isn't just the Constitution.
