Oh come on, you're quoting the fucking Economist. Of course the goddamned Economist will love Ayn Rand. That's like telling someone to read a review about Thomas Aquinas from the Vatican.

Some of his works would be judged highly by Vatican. But his lifestyle would not (he was lucky he got the status of a saint back in XIVth century). After all, he was an obese guy who used his philosophical mind to his advantage, like stating "everything that swims in water is a fish" so he could eat duck on friday (and you really don't want to know what kinds of atrocities another of the saints, Augustine of Hippo commited in his life).
His writings are quite good though but I wasn't interested much in christian works, XIXth century irrationalism is more of my thing.


Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

You could say the same thing with the Economist as they were in love with Milton Friedman, the Chicago Boys, and Pinochet, and highly appraised Pinochet's wholesale of Chile and complete adaptation of Friedman's crackpot capitalism into Chile's economy. They might have said something about the atrocities that Pinochet committed, but they largely ignored the utter destruction of Chile's economy and society that Pinochet's actions have done.

I mean, even though Aquinas said and did some pretty stupid things, they're largely ignored in the face of his theology and he's still considered by many Christians to be one of the most important theologians of their religion.

If you want to take a look at post-modernism I suggest reading "La Jalousie" by Robbe Grillet, not your typical novel.
Im pretty good at whistling with my hands, especially when Im holding a whistle.
