&#8220;the new survey finds people of rich countries tend to be happier than those of poor countries. And controlling for economic factors, certain types of societies are much happier than [...]]]></description>

As a species, we have removed ourselves far away from the direct tasks of survival. We have moved into the phase of flourishment&#8211;or survival qua man; i.e., living as appropriate not to [...]]]></description>

They seem to regard her primarily as a literary figure, and I think, they mostly don&#8217;t much agree with (or understand) her philosophy. Rand&#8217;s novels, to them, are just that&#8211;novels; not a dramatization of a true philosophy [...]]]></description>

The argument is that a significant number of people actually do face emergency situations on a daily basis; if a philosophy is unable to address and offer moral prescriptions for such people in such situations, [...]]]></description>
