A life time ago I lost a friend to Objectivist philosophy. Not wanting to lose said friend, I read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged to try and figure out why he was acting like an asshole all of a sudden.
I took a couple points of psychic damage in the process, but at least I can stand my own when offering counter arguments against their edgy philosophies.
What are some other works that it would be handy to be knowledgeable of the next time a philosophical edge lord tries to quote me into a corner?
I’m looking to be more well informed in conversation.
What did this friend say, I cant read a salacious lemmy post without precious details
There’s bound to be numerous Rand critiques written throughout the 20th c. just do a web search. Otherwise The School of Life on YT does good philosophy primers. Don’t forget Diogenes the cynic either
