Absolutely. I'm not a Rand supporter, and never was. I only agree with some stuff that she said about the countercultural movements being the rebellion against reason. Her worship of selfishness and contempt for altruism is wicked in the extreme. It's worth noting that La Vey, the founder of modern Satanism, held Rand in high regard.

I think we will be done with Randians in the next cycle, because post-scarcity is closer and closer, and the power of money will be waning. The main reason why people worship money is that money can buy you pleasures. But in the future, more and more pleasures will be available in virtual reality for free.
