Hi. Ever since I read The Fountainhead at age 15, I have been extremly interested in Objectivism. I have since read Atlas Shrugged, An Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, and The Virtue of Selfishness (I am currently a senior in high school). I have come to agree with Ayn Rand and mainstream Objectivism in almost every regard, and I have begun to conciously follow my rational self-interest. I didn't know until now that there was such a widespread Objectivist presence online, and I am sure that this forum will be a breath of fresh air, compared to arguing with the religionists and socialists that I see every day.
My disagreement with Ayn Rand is in the field of politics. I am an anarcho-capitalist, and the many arguments I have seen for minarchy have failed to convince me. Perhaps this forum will succeed
I am looking forward to participating on this forum.
