I had to publish this comment to see if it was from some other Steve with a blocked profile (as profile pictures aren't displayed under the Blogger dashboard).

I haven't the time or inclination to explain to you what precisely that is.

The title of Rand's book is proof that there is no difference. Also, I know full well that the book says I'm an asshole (or a parasite/leech). Because that is what Rand thought of people who were concerned for the welfare of their fellow man (she kills a bunch of innocent people in a train crash in her book "Atlas Shrugged", then pontificates on how they all deserved it for that reason). Three times read says to me that Lester strongly agrees with the sociopathic views of Rand.Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-43855526411101400652013-11-14T15:35:05.671-06:002013-11-14T15:35:05.671-06:00I have read the Virtue of Selfishness three times....I have read the Virtue of Selfishness three times.

They are one in the same. You can't choose to ignore the selfishness which is at the CORE of Objectivism and still call yourself a Objectivist. Lester clearly does not understand the very ideology he professes to be an adherent of! That, or he simply lies because he knows how off-putting his selfishness as a virtue beliefs are.

Lester must be down with that, as I've read on his blog how highly he thinks of her. Selfishness isn't a "virtue". But, according to Lester I just don't understand what it all means...

Your programming and inability to understand what rational self intetest means is your fucking problem. <br /><br />Rand is by far your intellectual superior, but that doesn't make her perfect, or her Objectivism. Thinking people realize the potential in taking a 20th century concept and analyzing it and then adapting it to 21st century realities strengthens the fiber of it's argument. But, that is too complex and above your pay grade.<br /><br />Stick with what you know best. Whatever that is.<br /><br />Cheerios old chap...Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.com
