“If some men do not choose to think, but survive by imitating and repeating, like trained animals…it still remains true that their survival is made possible only by those who did choose to think and discover the motions they are repeating….They are the men march into the abyss, trailing after any destroyer who promises them to assure the possibility they evade: the responsibility of being conscious.”

Objectivism is quite interesting. It moves to justify the ethical and moral reasoning behind stark individualism and free market capitalism. I’m excited to dive deeper into the strange mind of Ayn Rand to see just how denounces altruistic collectivism—something that has always seemed morally correct to me. Time to read Karl Marx after this!
