Ayn Rand and Anton Levay
Posted by EdwinNapier 5 years, 1 month ago to Culture
The evidence speaks for itself, the creation of Anton's satanism was formed from Rands political and social opinions. The concept of an elite hide-away community enclosed from society is terrifying to me, considering what we know about Epstien, John of God (Brazil), and Podesta(s)
The others are correct Edwin...this is just garbage my friend. AR knew what morality was but she credited it to man's mind, not from the insights of one man.
The creatures you mention are parasitical humanoids...not value creating men .
The commentator (video creator) has a screw loose.
Have you read the book?
I can share quotes if you like, but why not do the research yourself and form your own opinion? Open google and type "Ayn Rand"and Anton Levay" he structured his "religion" off the beliefs of objectivism, replacing and substituting the concerns for the ethical good and moral right with the propagation of ones own self interest as a driving force regardless of consequences to others.
It was a bastardization of Objectivism, as it uses the framework to run wild, but it has undeniable links in premise.
I've read that, as a liberal, he (Levay) was trying to publicly damn Ayn Rand by tethering her movement (which is a threat to leftist values) to his "Satanic Bible". I think that's also possible, but its undeniable he read her work before writing his own.
Using your rationale, we should all avoid The Beatles lyrics because of how Charles Manson interpreted them.
Somebody’s got their facts, definitions or basic premises confused. Likely on purpose.
"Just as man cannot survive by any random means, but must discover and practice the principles which his survival requires, so man’s self-interest cannot be determined by blind desires or random whims, but must be discovered and achieved by the guidance of rational principles. This is why the Objectivist ethics is a morality of rational self-interest—or of rational selfishness." - Ayn Rand
"You always do this" instead of saying:
"Sometimes you do this."
Absolutes is a word that comes up quite frequently in the readings of Ayn Rand. Take John Galt's speech:
"Absolutes. Reality is an absolute, existence is an absolute, a speck of dust is an absolute and so is a human life. Whether you live or die is an absolute. Whether you have a piece of bread or not, is an absolute. Whether you eat your bread or see it vanish into a looter’s stomach, is an absolute."
She makes it tricky for me. :) What I would call 'facts, she refers to as 'absolutes'.
Regarding Satanism, I'm not sure it's even a real thing. It seems like a way to rebel and get people who believe in gods and devils fired up. I do not take stories about gods and devils seriously.
Will view later to see what all the hub bub is about.
PS...re-posted a post of mine (2 years 10 months ago) that you commented recently on hoping to further that conversation.
