<p>下饭时候又双叒叕看了一遍「社交网络」，这片子竟然已经过去 15 年之久了……还是 give me chills. 离片尾字幕里为了表现为天文数字的 market cap 已经又翻了 60 多倍了。再加上现在刚好在看一部讲 .com bubble 的书（和当然里面一堆熟悉不熟悉的公司名比如当年的 Amazon 和过了二十多年终于 recover from bubble burst 的 Cisco），这种已经知道了后来结局的看当时历史的 snapshot 就真的有一种自带“是非成败转头空”BGM 的难以言述的感觉……</p><p><a href="/tags/watching/" rel="tag">#watching</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a></p>

<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>

At times where my body needed to relax, recharge, but my brain was still looking to be entertained...

<p>After nearly doubling my 2025 reading goal of 40 books, I decided not to set a goal for 2026 as far as a number of books or pages.
