Why do people hate her so much? I mean, invoking her name in some circles is tanamount to summoning a demonic clone of hitler, or pissing in their face. Even if you don't like her philosophy, which is very understandable, she was a good writer. It just weird how hard the dividing line between people on her is.

thinking about ourselves got us this far, I'm pretty damn sure it will keep on working. Nonzero by Robert Wright is a good look at how and why society formed. Its mainly because people wanted to do better in the world, and often the best way to do that is cooperation, and both people benfit. Most people have this idea that looking out for one's self means you want to kill everyone else along the way. Doing whats not in you best intrest is fucking retarded, and tends to cause more problems than its worth.
