Here’s What’s Wrong with Ayn Rand’s Philosophy

By Craig Biddle. Posted at The Objective Standard

Many articles have been written about what’s wrong with Ayn Rand’s philosophy. But, to my knowledge, none of them presents her ideas accurately. So I thought it would be helpful to write one that does.

Here’s what’s wrong with Rand’s ideas:

A nice, brief1, satirical article.

1. Less than 3000 words.

Most of the claims you make against Objectivism come off as silly to me.  If we don't accept A is A and that our senses are our means of understanding it, it feels foolish to me.

 

The fact that you critique Rand's clarity of writing and that it's not Jargon comes off as silly to me as well.  Clarity is good, big words and fancy writing do not help spread ideas, only confuse people's minds.

The original poster is not the article's author. The author is an Objectivist and the article is/was satire.
