Rand's stories are alternate worlds, devised to illustrate her philosophy, not true reflections of the *real* world we live in. All rich people are not visionary virtuosos like Dagne Taggart -- Most are just soft, lucky schmucks like James Taggart. (1/2)

(2/2) The villains in Rand's stories are mediocre cronies who band together to stop true geniuses like Hank Rearden -- not through competition, but through abuse of power. Most Randians see themselves as Rearden, then excuse themselves for abusing their power to keep advantage.

If philosophy can't get real, it's no surprise that cockroaches will take over the kitchen. Any basic philosophical apperception would see Rand as absurd. Yet we're at a loss when it comes to breeding.
