What items are actually worth the time scrapping for money?

I listened to all 3 Ayn Rand interviews with Mike Wallace. You must remember that her books are fiction. She is a writer that likes to write science fiction. It would be like people living as they do in most sci-fi books and movies. It won't work as the superstition, rituals and fantasy and fiction are what gets in the way of most.

I found many things she said interesting, but I view it as interesting science fiction.

I'm 100% superstition free and any rituals I do are in fun. I can take them or leave them.



I've never been a fan of trying to escape into a fantasy and fictional world. That has never interested me.

What I'm interested in is beyond most peoples thinking as their superstition gets in the way.

Ohh dear ... the broken record narrow world view spiel again. All on about fantasy,fiction, and superstition. ( A whack with a 2x4 cross the side of the head for you bud ! )

You're in error CD. The thing that is outside your limited range of vision is that these fictional stories were written as allegory to demonstrate the core principles of her philosophy.

Allegory definition:

a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

I guess i'll have to be very direct. Do it the easier way and watch the three part Atlas Shrugged movie series. Next ... reflect on the things you learned and tell me that they don't pertain to what's currently going on in the world around us today. Rand was a bit of a visionary that way.

Orwell's fictional book 1984 was probably one of the best primers on political science ever written. I can see why it was required reading in High School. As a teenager with a teenager's understanding of the world ... it didn't click into place at the time. I wasn't able to appreciate it for what it was until i had a bit more experience in living and then i could see it for what it really was.
