These are real personal ads from a dating site for people who are Objectivists. Objectivists are the followers of the insane "philosopher" and novelist Ayn Rand. Their M.O. is that everyone is selfish and super free-market capitalist fundamentalism is the greatest thing ever.

I want to meet a serious woman who both challenges me intellectually and inspires me to noble things by her beauty.

Long ago a very dear friend, Angie, turned me on to Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.

Parenthetically, she also turned me on in other ways. Alas, our relationship remained Platonic.

Contact Me If You … : are Angie.

My name is Daniel. I consider myself to be a born-again egoist and I have dedicated the rest of my life to self-improvement. People see me as a socially inept loner because I tend to avoid superficial conversation but actually I love talking to people who like to think (the problem being I don’t know very many).

If I Could “Do Lunch” With Anyone: Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich … Do I really have to explain?

[I am] short, stark, and mansome.

You should contact me if you are a skinny woman. If your words are a meaningful progression of concepts rather than a series of vocalizations induced by your spinal cord for the purpose of complementing my tone of voice. If you’ve seen the meatbot, the walking automaton, the pod-people, the dense, glazy-eyed substrate through which living organisms such as myself must escape to reach air and sunlight. If you’ve realized that if speech is to be regarded as a cognitive function, technically they aren’t speaking, and you don’t have to listen.

I am rational, integrated, and efficacious. So far, I’ve never met a person who lives up to the standard I hold for myself (except online).

I take my relationships seriously. I am simply not attracted to many of the women in this world. I do not “hook-up” with girls. I only kiss those who deserve, and so far I have only encountered one who did. I would love to find someone I can learn something from; someone who challenges me to think; someone I can feel like I’ve won, rather than lowered myself to.

My individualism takes precedence at all costs, if not at all times.

Contact Me If You … : do not conform to the dictates and whims of any of the world’s religions, simply because your soul’s independence is paramount.

I love intelligent, sassy girls, particularly those working in consulting or investment banking (but other fields are great too). Really, nothing is hotter than an accomplished girl in a suit, as long as she is willing to settle down and have my children. I want a girl who will support my ambitions against the naysayers in society.

Ayn Rand ignited the fire within me that was searching for the right spark. My every action is guided according to my philosophy, and my philosophy is the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

I am interested in meeting someone that truly embodies the values and virtues of Objectivism. I have found very few women that have not already been beaten down to a flimsy, irrational, empty pulp. I have changed many girls’ lives, but no one has blown me away yet.

I never “hook-up” randomly, I never kiss a girl that doesn’t deserve mine. I have yet to find a girl deserving of my falling in love with her. But “other people” are secondary values no matter what, so finding someone is not a priority for me.

What girl could resist this?

well, for being a self-minded entrepeneur, you sure sound like a whimp there. :lol:
i was searching for a proper image from bioshock, which i failed in, but i picked up this amusing thread along the way:
http://forum.objectivismonline.net/index.php?showtopic=10289

The opening sequence is worth seeing alone. As you go down to the city in the sea below in a special elevator/submarine an old film begins to play which covers the submarine window. It is a message from Andrew Ryan in a 1950's propaganda style format. I'll do my best to quote:

"Is man not entitled to the sweat off his own brow?

The man in Washington says NO! It belongs to democracy.

The pope in the Vatican says NO! It belong to the church.

The party in Soviet Russia says NO! It belong to everyone.

I reject all these ideas and instead offer something new. Something impossible. I give you... RAPTURE!"


The movie screen pulls away revealing a beautiful city. A giant squid, schools of fish, and whales are swimming in view as well. The audio from Andrew Ryan continues and he goes on about a perfect society where scientists are not limited by petty morality and artists are not held back, etc., etc.

This game encourages people to question modern morality based on being selfless or dedicated to society. It encourage people to think about the ideas of Ayn Rand. To me that is extremely valuable in itself.



The society started falling apart because the citizens were genetically altering themselves and they turned into addicts, mutants & monsters.

:rotfl: :rotfl:

(for those who know bioshock, yep the whole game is one big attack vs objectivism)

and it's a damn game, games don't go deep.
 
Objectivists should make sure they do not have children.

There's a reason there are no infants & children in Ayn Rand's books. Her whole philosophy comes apart when you throw children into the equation.

That said, it doesn't sound like any of these folks are gonna be able to get within striking distance of any opposite sex genitalia anytime soon. :lol:

BioShock is a great game. Where else could you get an art deco styled fps where you fight an insane objectavist dictator?

The quote was slightly off, it goes:

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
No! Says the man in Washington, it belongs to the poor.
No! Says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to God
No! Says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone.
