Which version ? The first one I heard is still my favorite . <| sep |> I used to . Did my PhD on aging biology . <| sep |> Not sure if troll or misguided inference . <| sep |> OP may be from California . Protests at UC Berkeley sometimes prevent students from getting to class , especially white students . <| sep |> What ? I ' m sure that ' s right here on the host somewhere . Not my idea of a good time but it ' s there for those that feel like they need it . link Lou Boom <| sep |> well , the modern version of this , to a large degree , can be tagged to the beatification of Ayn Rand in the U . S . note Ron Paul goes so far as to name his son Rand Paul , as one simple example . But it is so baked in irony and people don ' t take the time to look at how she actually lived her life and how her philosophies destroyed her father and so many around her . For example , the October Revolution in Russia that she supported meant the end of her father ' s prosperous business it was confiscated . Yes , she could now go to university but there was an expense it was a zero sum game where somebody wins and somebody else loses . Then she moves to US to become a screenwriter but relies on the generosity of relatives to help her until she gets on her feet the polar opposite of her philosophy later go figure . Then she becomes a drug addict for 30 years . Then she makes it with Fountainhead but forgets part of that was due to her hollywood connections she established vs . we rely only on ourselves ? . In the 50 ' s Alan Greenspan connects with her and her beliefs . We all know how his notion of hey , everybody should get a variable mortgage and buy as much house as possible ! ended in 2008 . Nice job , Alan . Contracts lung cancer and is more than happy to accept both Social Security AND Medicare hmmmm ? . So , she has philosophies but doesn ' t adhere to them unless it is convenient or she can craft an alternative narrative . She was an idiot . But we love to revise history to support our power of one mindset in the U . S . Don ' t get me wrong , I ' m no extreme left liberal by any stretch but , if you aren ' t going to live the values you run around espousing maybe you should shut up and sit in a corner . Now we have a complete movement of people like Rand Paul that revise history to support their own narrative . Thus , your concern about down on your luck , well . Nuts .
