<p><a href="/tags/aynrand/" rel="tag">#AynRand</a>’s <a href="https://courses.aynrand.org/works/introduction-to-virtue-of-selfishness/" rel="nofollow">original introduction to The Virtue of Selfishness</a> is now online--and it directly contradicts most of the claims people make about her <a href="/tags/ethics/" rel="tag">#ethics</a>.</p><p>If your picture of Rand comes from social media threads, YouTube rants, or second-hand “hot takes,” <a href="https://courses.aynrand.org/works/introduction-to-virtue-of-selfishness/" rel="nofollow">this is the text that breaks the spell.</a></p> <p>Let’s clear out the biggest straw men right away:</p><p><p>❌ “Rand said selfishness means hurting people.”
</p><p>No. She argues that rational self‑interest forbids coercion, exploitation, and parasitism. Predators aren’t “selfish”—they’re short‑range, self‑destructive, and irrational.</p><br><p>❌ “It’s just an excuse to do whatever you want.”
</p><p>She draws a hard boundary between whim and <a href="/tags/reason/" rel="tag">#reason</a>. Her ethics demands long‑range thinking, integrity, and principled action — the opposite of impulse.</p><br><p>❌ “<a href="/tags/objectivism/" rel="tag">#Objectivism</a> celebrates cruelty.”
</p><p>The introduction explicitly rejects cruelty as irrational. Benevolence is not only compatible with <a href="/tags/egoism/" rel="tag">#egoism</a>—it’s a natural expression of a rational, confident person.</p><br><p>❌ “Rand denies moral principles.”
</p><p>She denies sacrifice as a moral ideal. She does not deny <a href="/tags/morality/" rel="tag">#morality</a>. She argues for a code rooted in reality, reason, and the requirements of human life.</p></p> <p>If you want to understand the argument instead of the mythology, read the primary source--it’s short, sharp, and surprisingly accessible.</p><p><a href="https://aynrand.org/novels/the-virtue-of-selfishness/" rel="nofollow">Read more for context on the full book, editions, and themes.</a></p><p><a href="/tags/philosophy/" rel="tag">#philosophy</a> <a href="/tags/individualism/" rel="tag">#individualism</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a> <a href="/tags/nonfiction/" rel="tag">#nonfiction</a> <a href="/tags/ideas/" rel="tag">#ideas</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>

<p>Starting my 2026 book thread with a beautiful cover 😍 And the book behind it is just as beautiful. Just the sort of &#x27;place as character&#x27; narrative that I really enjoy, this is a lively and lyrical exploration of a certain landscape and the people, animals and plants that inhabit it. Even the clouds and the geology get a voice.</p><p>However heavy our lives may feel, Solà reminds us how fleeting they are to the mountains and the woods, which is perspective I find comforting.</p><p>🧵1 <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>

At times where my body needed to relax, recharge, but my brain was still looking to be entertained... I got back to reading more again. 😊</p><p>Halfway through November, I learned about the new Dan Brown book in his Robert Langdon series. It had been a while since I read his books, so I set off, starting with Angels &amp; Demons.<br>At the end of December, I finished the 6th book, the Secret of Secrets. I read another Dan Brown book after that, Deception Point.</p><p>I finished it yesterday. But now... As I started it at the end of December, is this my last finished book of 2025? Or is it the first one of 2026?</p><p>I&#x27;ve never really tracked my reading, but I thought it may be nice to make a thread this year, pinning 📌 it to my profile, and adding the books that I&#x27;ve managed to finish in 2026.</p><p>Maybe Deception Point was the last of 2025, maybe it&#x27;s the first of 2026...
