A life time ago I lost a friend to Objectivist philosophy. Not wanting to lose said friend, I read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged to try and figure out why he was acting like an asshole all of a sudden.
I took a couple points of psychic damage in the process, but at least I can stand my own when offering counter arguments against their edgy philosophies.
What are some other works that it would be handy to be knowledgeable of the next time a philosophical edge lord tries to quote me into a corner?
I’m looking to be more well informed in conversation.
Thank you, this is exactly the stuff I’m looking for.
Thanks!
How did you find Rand’s take on relativism?
I’m quite young so I can only compare it to a few things. It felt to me to just be overwhelmingly “Fuck you, I got mine.” Which is… Interesting to say the least when you build your empire on the back of the workers.
