By now, some might find Objectivism a bit confusing… Especially if you were raised to follow the golden rule. So, just take everything you were taught in grade school about the golden rule, and flip it on its head.
In grade school, we were taught that we have to be unselfish, share, and be respectful of the needs of others. Objectivism teaches us that selfishness is virtuous, and that we should place our own self interest above that of all others. So, just think of this as a magical fairytale land. An alternate reality for adults, where normal rules of logic and morality don’t apply.
