How ideas are lost in translation. (himacream)

[uttermost]

Lets take one example.

Ayn Rand wrote some sh1t. That sh1t was about how its awesome to selfish. but it also tried to be a treatise for a better society - Atlantis. Even though Rand's descriptions of Atlantis and how that society worked was lame, it did attract horny teenagers, and wasted adults to her ideology.

RGV reads Ayn Rand's sh1t.(blah blah blah ...) realizes its so awesome to be selfish. Thanks Rand for giving him the words, because he's too dumb to come up with it himself. But he forgets to read the second part, the infantile part about how society can be built through selfish individuals. Now he makes movies, and more importantly appears in TV interviews and propagates the half baked sh1t he learnt from Ayn Rand, without the important social part. RGV is now a out and out individualist, unconcerned about the society at large, and mostly a disinterested observer of the world around him. meaning - a pointless existence, a waste of space.

Now Himacream watches RGV interviews. regligiously follows his twitter, and then realises how awesome it is to be selfish. internalizes the assholery of RGV, but leaves out the most important part of individualism - accepting agency of others. Instead our Himacream becomes a chest thumping nationalist idiot, and also an anti-Islam polemicist. which makes him a Hindutva nutjob, without hindu believer part of course.

so here Objectivism (whatever that sh1t is) ----> Narcissism -----> Hindutva 

I blame Ayn Rand.

[uttermost]

@himacream is a Hindutva nutjob 

or a new age atheist 

either way, both of them are a huge step down from his narcissistic asshole guru RGV.

lesson from this example:

Always read from the source. No Ayn Rand is not the source.

I forgot to mention that Ayn Rand stole her sh1t from Schopenhaur and Neitzsche. So read that, and skip both Ayn Rand and RGV.
