Warmongering Ayn Rand Institute

bump.

Yaron Brook, the president of the ARC is from Israel, so I wonder if that is having any influence on the ARC's position on foreign policy. That said, I have seen some Ayn Rand interviews on Youtube where she says that Western corporations should defend their property which 3rd world countries (Arabs in particular) stole when they came to power and nationalized industries. I think that one was in the interview with Phil Donahue.

Maybe I can explain it like this: Do you notice how on DP people come and go and DP has allot of strong people with strong ideas that compete in many ways. We are all very lucky and blessed to have MN as the owner of DP and not Elan Journo, who is much like Alan Greenspan, or a number of people who have profitted off Ayn Rand, Objectivism. Ayn Rand is dead. RP is alive. Elan Journo is a neocon who rides on Ayn Rands coat tails as a Muslim/religion hater.

This is a good example of a corporation who is "too big to die" because it's opportunity to explore the Objective philosophy, but it is corrupt, and since Ayn has passed away, so should it.

I am an Objectivist because it satisfies a number of personal issues. I was raised on Ayn Rand, so it is part of my culture as someone who was raised Christian.

If I could write, I would write a book about how Objectivism works for creatives, artists. Artists are producers and to me, Howard Roake, John Galt are artists more than scientists. They appreciate science, but these guys were "saving the world".. Roake built public housing.. Galt might as well have been Tesla.

I don't agree with Elan Journo and the direction the Ayn Rand Center has taken on issues such as foreign policy, but that does not deminish my personal understanding of Objectivism or how it works for me.

Objectivism can be cured. It just takes time. I caught it when I was about 20. I'm 62 now, and completely cured.

bump.

high-profile followers of Ayn are not true to her legacy (these warmongers and Greenspan)
