I love it how smart people will be able to articulate things that you feel deep within yourself. During research for my paper, I just read an Ayn Rand quote that completely crystallizes my feelings toward Jordan’s dowdy intellect.
“A philosophic system is an integrated view of existence. As a human being, you have no choice about the fact that you need a philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation — or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined convictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance.”
Ayn Rand, I love you. Even though you’re dead.
I’m almost done with my research paper, I’m going to address Ayn Rand’s views on religion and then turn to my conclusion.
