>Why avoid talking about Randian ideas except to criticise them?

Oh. You're a cultist. Nevermind. Rand is as relevant as Time Cube.

Rand (along with Rose Lane Wilder, and others) was a seminal figure in the development of contemporary libertarian thought.

She's no more of a cult figure than Marx, and yet he is taught uncritically. The contradiction is not lost on the rest of us.

EDIT: also, no one who speaks positively of Rand and Lewis in the same sentence is a Randian cultist, for reasons that I hope are obvious.

"Libertarian thought" is an oxymoron. Please go hawk your NFTs somewhere else.

Timecube makes more literal and actual sense with a firmer foundation of truth beneath it than every libertarian philosopher combined.

Find a new hobby, I beg of you: https://timecube.2enp.com

What a juvenile response. Are we in middle-school now?

It's clear from comments like this that you aren't actually arguing with me, but with some caricature you have in your mind. When you are ready to actually talk with a real human being that disagrees with you, let me know.
