I may be wrong, but I interpret
Tsu's current WU to indicate that he was once a
proud member of the Ayn Rand Institue (
ARI) but has now left them. I believe he has left with good reason.
Organized Objectivism is a mockery of the principles set out by Rand. The ARI and the NBI (
Nathaniel Branden Institute) are more like cults than they are organizations designed to free the mind as Rand intended. I would speak in more details on how foolish organized Objectivism is, however, I have already dealt with the issue in a node that can be found
here.
Ayn Rand's philosophies are a beautiful thing. They promote life, intelligence, and the self. They are not about greed and moneygrubbing. However, they simply do not work for institutions. The ARI is self-contradictory and as such is bound to eventually lead members to dismay. On the other hand, someone can very easily live a happy life as an Objectivist, so long as they guide themself.
