I will try to be more careful, thank you. I can understand why is that and how people can understand simple explanations

It is not about holding it as sacred things, that is not the final goal, even thou it seems otherwise. The main goal is life, you should value it the most. You do what you love the most. You yourself is a goal.

You probably have an interesting workday, if you can write those huge comments. (;

I don't think example of "sacred" is necessary. Jim Taggert is example of this in full scale. Him and all his friends. The pursuit the fortune as a goal. It was never clear, so it led to whole country collapse.

Firstly, that's rude. Secondly, the only possible way I can pay her back is give someone else another life.

Damn, I was reading wrong, sry.

She doesn't propagate atomism, it's always about thinking. If you feel better without communicating, why should you? In case of fountainhead main heroes feel better when communicating with same-minded for example. So she writes about social aspects

Yeah, but my previous take was about capitalism, so did I understand it right?

All she was rooting for, do what you like, if it respects people right to live. There is no atomatization subtext in her works. If you can provide quotes with explanation, than we can discuss it

In other words, worker is getting paid for creating goods/services for entity owner(capitalist in our case)?

Sorry, I didn't understand your take about private property. You saying, that we can't built our philosophy on top of this concept, because we don't have scientific research on this matter?

About products, I know you said it's for another time. The fact is, capitalists provide us with workplaces and products. They not doing it themselves, but the trunk of the tree. The root cause is people needs. I can't call them parasites or robbers if they earn it honestly.

Well, I am not a materialist, so I can't support you with "material conditions prevent". In my opinion, if you free and nobody forces you, than it's not labour. You can live whenever you want, or change something you don't really want.

It's cool, what you are doing, hope this gets recognition! Maybe one day you'll be as someone, who changed the way we see product production.

Maybe one day I will understand your saying about ideology, but I really don't. For me Rand's philosophy is really the best, cause it's simple and answers all of my questions. Do whatever you want with respect to other people right to live. I can't call it ideology, like can't call Buddhism a religion. Both I classify as philosophy. And mostly I unintentionally followed Rand's without knowing it.

Can you please explain me than? Seems I was wrong all this time...

Where she states about atomozation? In her books her heroes communicate with each other, drinking and go lazy. They can't communicate with people not their kind, 'cause they get real bored. I doubt you can talk and dance with people you are not interested in.

Yet again, they don't put themselves above others, they mostly don't judge at all. They state facts and that's it, no hostility involved.

Ayn Rand's philosophy doesn't support ill-gotten riches in anyway.

Can you elaborate on labour please? If you don't like the place you work at, you can always leave and find a better one! Will it be tough? Absolutely. Will it get better? Probably yes.

How's making products is detrimental to the rest of human society? I am sure, whatever you are using is a product of filthy capitalists. They didn't make it themselves, but have invested, organised project and manufacturing. They are on top of this product chain. By themselves those workers wouldn't be able to do this massively.
