Peter Thiel is indeed a fan of Ayn Rand. He upset many altruists last year when he referred to Teresa, the nun in Calcutta, as a loser. While his choice of word may not have been optimal, it is obvious that any person who goes to work in a productive job does more good than an altruist.
I saw that somebody recently labeled people as either ‘makers’ or ‘takers.’ I like that description.
â??An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced.â? – Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
