I was introduced to Ayn Rand with the film "The Foundainhead" when as a kid I would stay up late and watch movies. I bought several of her books and read them. When I started thinking about her philosophy I realized just how bad it was. I'm a programmer and I've worked with programmers; it's a profession that demands on rationality and creativity and objectivity. The reality is that programmers don't work tirelessly to the great philosophical ideal. The reality is programmers whine, bitch, hang out in each others office chatting about televsion, and stare at walls. They are religious, non-religious, and areligious. There is a software aesthetic but it's not tied to some great life encompassing philosophy. Rand's idea of what creative people are like has little to do with actual creative people. |
