Ayn Rand

[Conchaga]

And that's why I don't like Randites.

Yet, you post on this board using one of her most influential characters' names as your handle?

Atlas is a cool name, but I rarely shrug.

What has that to do with me not liking Randites?

Incidentally, if you or anyone else reading this would like to get a deeper insight into Objectivism, then this is an excellent site: http://www.whatisobjectivism.com/

When you get around to reading Rand, it's my reccomendation to read Anthem first. In that book she explains the type of world her 'second handers' wish to create. It gives you a better example of the apocalyptic undertones she speaks of in The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

Thanks.

You're acting like one.

 

[John Galt]

You're acting like one.

In what way?

 

[Conchaga]

Don't be difficult. You've got John Gault as a user handle. The personal title. The sig is a Rand quote. All you're missing is an avatar that has something Rand-like.

Conchaga, here's a new word for your vocabulary: Objectivist.

Taking the name John Galt and having a quotation from Ayn Rand does not a Randite make. I am an Objectivist, but not a Randite or Randroid.

 

[Conchaga]

Objectivist = Randite = Randroid = Ayn Rand fanatic. Period.

 

[Conchaga]

I prefer to think of myself as a centristic, anti-statist, objective, thinker with a Randian leaning. But, I simply go by the title Randite. It's easeir.

 

[John Galt]

Objectivist = Randite = Randroid = Ayn Rand fanatic. Period.

:lol:

Oh, really?

 

[Conchaga]

Oh, GB = JG = KK. There's some more formulaic stuff for ya.

I take this back as misinformed conjecture.

You've got my permission to use the name.

Is this a conversation for only one, or can I join in?

I'm assuming you're saying GrammourBoy=John Galt=...checking the membership list I see...Keekeen? Am I close?

And what name are you giving me permission to use? John Galt? I think not. :lol:

 

[Conchaga]

Meh, I'm saying that you can use the name without my harassment.

I see everything!
