This is in part because many of them were young people excited by her novels and unlearned in philosophy; such people are not often aware of the complexities of their subject and prone to construe disagreement as ignorance. Furthermore, many of her supporters would not permit modifications or additions to her philosophical system, leading some to label Rand as a cult leader.

Ayn Rand was a person who truly understood what it means to be a human being, which is more than I can say for the general population of 4chan. Does that make me conceited and arrogant? Yes.

Her philosophy isn't hard to understand, even to people that are young and impressionable. That doesn't make them stupid. What makes perfect sense, makes perfect sense.

Is the world becoming so sensitive and politically correct that to suggest that someone should strive above their own mediocrity is offensive? God forbid we should offeeeend anyone.
