So, I was reading an interview with Ralph Lauren. When asked his favorite authors, Ralph answered "Ayn Rand and Ernest Hemingway." Interesting, I thought. Makes sense, he's a self-made businessman. And then I got to the second-to-last question.
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Selfishness.
I'm guessing he's a fan of her fiction and not her nonfiction, notable among which is a little book called "The Virtue of Selfishness." Actually, it's more likely that he hasn't actually read Rand, and just thinks he'll sound interesting saying he likes her.
That sounds you hear is my eyes rolling, hard.
I don't like Ayn Rand, but can be very selfish (so I've been told). What does that say about me?
