Ayn Rand is dead, so either we don't exist, or she was wrong to assert herself beyond reason. It doesn't start or end or consist of her, or of you.

BTW, where is the heroism in selfishness? I do not find it, objectively or otherwise.

So, does that mean you believe the Pythagorean theorem no longer holds since Pythagoras is dead?

A truth discovered is still the truth, even after the discoverer dies. It is customary, however, to remember who discovered particular truths.

Do you not have any values? Do you not have any values you would be willing to die to defend? Are those values "bad" for you or "good" for you? Is it not selfish to defend that which is good for you? Do cowards die for values?
