Bryce Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My name is Bryce. I was introduced to Atlas Shrugged (and Ayn Rand) almost two years ago after winning a gift card to Borders. I bought her book on a whim, knowing that it was about altruism versus egoism, expecting that she was a feminist. And I guessed that the ending held some campy, "why can't we all just get along" moral. But I was wrong.I'm here to ask you Objectivists a question that I can't rationalize. But I want to introduce myself before posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to introduce myself before posting it.Welcome aboard! Hoping you enjoy OL. Post away, ask questions, discuss, . . .Rand is full of surprises on a first read, certainly. And sometimes on a second, and a third, . . . I love the way she turns thinking upside down to reveal wholly new ways of seeing things. "Sanction of the victim" for example - - - such a brilliant concept!Bill P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Bryce:http://www.sandler.com/It is based on negative reverse selling/pattern interruption.It is such a deadly and fun way to sell. I trained in it and so do any folks that would work for, or with me.Enjoy.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
