“But I think the rest of her point, which is really her main point, is her point 4. And I think that stands by itself and survives without that.”
I agree that one can agree with point 4 without buying in to everything else she believed, and I think that many of the people who look up to her and Atlas Shrugged choose (rightly) to ignore the bad parts of her philosophy.
If one limits Rand’s philosophy to a philosophy of government rather than one of human behavior or virtue, then I agree that it is not necessarily evil. But her full philosophy is against Torah, is midas s’dom and is evil.
