For those who don't get this reference (I didn't), it appears to be from Atlas Shrugged:

Gross.

100% you haven't even read the book and you are aping an opinion you read somewhere on the internet by someone who also hasn't read it.

I've read it. I don't support the gp's one word comment, but I do support the general sentiment.

The book is poorly written and full of absurd Objectivist philosophy. I found Objectivism over the top even when I was a hardcore ancap libertarian.

[gingerrr]

I've read it several times.

Gross.

>I've read it several times.

I don't believe you.

[gingerrr]

which part of the 73 page absurdly boring John Galt monologue do you want me to quote to prove you wrong?

also, I don't care if you don't believe me. if you were really randian you would know that reality exists regardless of your belief in it, or to quote her quote of Socrates, "A is A."

I've also read and own literally every book she published, and a few published posthumously by leonard peikoff. I've considered her views extensively to see if they can coexist with mine.

Conclusion: gross.

You clearly misunderstood moron, I said I don't believe you because reading that book once is a painful exercise why the hell would someone that didn't like it read it multiple times? Keep your lies in check and maybe you will be convincing.

You are essentially calling someone a liar, because their opinion differs from your own. Not cool.

People have different opinions on Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged, even people who have read it. Deal with it.
