    To further elaborate this AR comment:
    "selfishness— which means: the values required for man’s survival qua man— which means: the values required for human survival— not the values produced by the desires, the feelings, the whims or the needs of irrational brutes, who have never outgrown the primordial practice of human sacrifices.”

    Rand, Ayn. The Virtue of Selfishness . Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
