It really helped me that I read some history and thought about it for more than five minutes. Ayn Rand, she is like the idea of selling your house before it goes under the sea due to climate change, makes sense if you don't add the real world context back into it. A conclusion can follow logically from its premise and assumptions, but that does not ensure the inputs were correct.
I like to ask Libertarians, when I bump into them, what happened between some date to a year of your choosing that prevented the market from developing its own solution.
I find it funny i say 'atlas shrugged changed my view' and there seems to be this misinterpretation that i'm in favor of its message.
I read the book... and was revolted by it. I saw it as the logical end point to the whole libertarian ideology. 'Everyone exxists to be used, ssytems abused, and nothing matters but one's own gratification and accumulation.'
Similar experience when you actually read the bible too.
