10/29 Capitalism magazine, the bastion of randian objectivism, is apparently
as split over the US election as the rest of the country. I found that
somehow amusing. Some of the folks there are making reasonable
game theoretic arguments for why a randy ought to vote for Kerry.
-- ilyas
\_ If you mean "randian" in context of Ayn Rand (never heard it used
like this before) then Capitalism magazine is just plain wrong.
A true "randian" would either A) not bother to vote or B) vote
for himself.
\_ Not that I am a huge fan of Ayn Rand, but you don't understand
Randians at all. I said 'randian objectivism' to differentiate
from other kinds of objectivism (i.e. technical terms in lit
crit, philosophy, etc) -- ilyas
\_ I just had the very amusing experience of looking at
http://www.rand.org to find out if Rand had written anything about
elections in her time, and was amazed at how non-wingnut it
was...until I realized it was the wrong rand!
\_ yes, the Rand Corporation is a serious, professional
consulting organization |
