Is it funny, or sad that there's an Ayn Rand Club for Philosophy Students at my Uni and they're spamming the entire Humanities student body's email.
The first meeting is next Wedesnday.

Do I go and mock?
Or do I avoid the proto-fascist crazies?

Help me out dear friends.

I'm just... who would have thought? Randians on campus, and they could be anyone. Cooo! Maybe I should go and scope in order to know who to avoid for the rest of my academic career.
When I was a teenager I was a Randian, read all her books, felt that I was Smarter and More Capable than Thou... loved "The Selfish Ideal".
Then I finished adolescence.
Like may things Randinism is a phase.
How can people, students of high theory, philosophy and such actually consider this woman to be anything other than a stylish author!?
Digressing over.

So? Should I stay or should I go? *duh-na-na-na-naa*

I've never read anything by Ayn Rand and have only a vague idea of her and her writing. I get the impression this is a good thing :P

Why even think on it, hun? Don't bother putting effort into getting worked up over this - focus on better things :)

You see, your fundemental logic error there is in assuming that philosophy students are any smarter than any other type of student. :)

Oh God I hate them. I'd probably jab pencils into my ears if I had to hear them talking about the Objectivist opinion on modern Israeli politics.

funny a while back there was an ad up on the notice board from someone selling used books and under the category of philosophy it said Ayn Rand etc. Every time I saw it I stared in bewilderment.

OMG, GO! I mean, if you have nothing better to do. If there's a chance of you maybe taking in a good movie or getting laid, do that instead. But if you have the time to spare in order to make me laugh my ass off at your report-back, DO IT.

(If you haven't noticed, making fun of Randroids is my favourite hobby.)

Go only so that you know who NEVER to date.* No, seriously, don't go there. The dental bill from the teeth grinding will not be worth any potential LOLs.

*exception made for people under 18 who are still writing Mary Sue fic. But you shouldn't date them either.

Don't go. You wouldn't appreciate them showing up to your meetings with the intentions to mock and ridicule; don't do it to somebody else.
