Objectivist themes

[Universal Cereal Bus]

Internet hive-mind, I want to see your best examples of scenes presenting objectivism objective decision making. I'll get started with one that I really like:

Ah! Well played. I've corrected the confusing post. Small "o" objectivism, not big "O".

I remember her wasting time to actually address something important by trashing folk art at the Ford Hall Forum. I had a starry eyed Objectivist friend in attendance that actually got a chance to speak directly to his heroine. He asked her what she thought of Maxfield Parrish and she simply answered, "trash". He was crushed.

TBH, I find her books to be unreadable. Dense, wordy, and sludgy prose.

Lol, not surprised Parrish wasn't her vibe

On the theme of Ayn Rand...

Yeah, needed an editor. If you skip the speeches, Atlas Shrugged isn't bad. She's at her best satirizing power-hungry bureaucrats, and her worst preaching the virtues of her heroes. In fact, the whole problem with the Rand view is it requires "great men" in power, which it has in common with utopian progressive views. odd.

Most overrated thinker of the 20th century. Just horrid.

It is rather interesting to see that no one has heard of her on the other side of the Atlantic, even in intellectual circles. Recently her play The Fountainhead was successful at the theater festival though. I am not saying we should read her books but at least get exposed to some of her basic ideas and concepts at some point would not hurt in my view.
