applied autism for socioeconomic systems

It's what happens when women attempt philosophy.

I thought autists are neets that suck gov dick for welfare bux, why the fuck would they want less welfare bux?

Literally autistic.

>the belief that certain things, especially moral truths, exist independently of human knowledge or perception of them

I can get behind that: murder is always wrong (when not self/national defense), theft is always wrong, etc.

We seem to put a lot of emphasis on our own personal experiences/selves; I think objectivity is something severely lacking in the States.

It's for degenerate sociopaths

Too extreme but there's a lot to appreciate about it
I consider myself fairly libertarian, but I don't like the idea that everything you do should be entirely done with selfish intentions
I hate the welfare state, because it requires theft in the form of taxation and a lot of undeserving scum take advantage, but I support charity and giving resources to your community or people you believe deserve it without expecting something in return

I even didn't know that Objectivism is

It is.

Topkek

Society doesn't work like that and civilizations are not built and maintained by considering its citizens as economic islands.

It doesn't demand that you be selfish, to clarify. Only that you are fundamentally free to do as you wish. It does champion self interest, because it sees that as the mechanism by which good is achieved, for the individual, and by extension their friends, family and ultimately their entire world.

I think you need to shift your perspective regarding selfishness. Can you think of a single self sacrifice you have ever carried out that made the world better?

That doesn't stop degeneracy from happening.

If you want to know what Objectivism is briefly:

Yeah, I remember the first time I read Atlas Shrugged. . . .

I believe hard work is also championed. Very hard to be a productive degenerate

See:

I don't buy it anymore. I was sold on it HARD in college, but grew out of it. The proposition that:

1) There's always an obvious, objectively-true answer to every moral and aesthetic question.

And that...

2) Truly rational people will never have a conflict of interest or difference of opinion.

Is idiotic, cult-tier bullshit. But the real, final nail in the coffin is reading about how hypocritical Ayn Rand and her cohort actually were in real life. It's a personality cult which appeals to people as a totalizing account of all reality. But it fails in many ways to be any such thing.

What an ugly, yet, rapeable baftard.

Put it in a cute dress and I'd fuck it.

I think we differ on what degeneracy is. I'm also pretty sure you're a closeted homosexual

>calls me a fag for being in control of my sexual urges
>calls that an argument

Wew lad. You missed your call to prayer.

>ignores my point and links to a book that came out before Harry Potter
>expects me to read it

I doubt you were sold "HARD" on it in left-dominated college, but regardless both the propositions you mentioned aren't correct.
Recommend:

Thanks, but I read all the books (not just the fiction). In addition to the points I mentioned, it's also not a philosophical movement. The fastest way to get "excommunicated" from an objectivist group is to question any of Ayn Rand's dogmas. These people don't do any thinking. And they don't tolerate it in others.

>There was nothing with literary value before Harry Potter

Of course it's a sixbong.

Only the Torah and The Holy Qkuraaan. I'm off to put my wives kids to bed.

Have fun with the olympics!

>Have fun with the olympics!

I hope Rio burns to hell.

although I dont believe in most of her principles anymore, Rand's philosophy gave me my first red pill against socialism and the welfare state
