In the twentieth century, the unrest and confusion of the times was met with the ideologies of state and national self-interest, and the result of not the utopias promised, but a multiplication of human misery. Ayn Rand simply promotes self interest at the level of an individual-- why would the result be any different at the microcosm as it was at the macrocosm? The modern search for a universal principle by which human affairs might be ordered has proved to be not only an illusion, but dangerous. Not only should we remain of critical of the claims of totalizing systems like Ayn Rand's objectivism, but of all ideological systems, be they collectivist or individulaistic, that seek to "solve" the problem of humanity throught the assertion of mere rationality and will.

Objectivism is way of life for to make a human more powerful and do things on once own without a blaming any other when somebody does something for one self.. the best part of it is it talks about is individual as individual exist for him self first.. if individual exists ti its best so the society will than.. It makes reasoning as the only absolute which makes a real sense on all aspects of life as blind faith, blind way of doing things makes human like a lamb and whole world moves like water without a though and one day all will realize this is not what one want to live the way.. its freedom of mind..its all about doing things for one self. its about believing, evaluating, using intellectual power of human and not finding excuses and fooling around on the way world live or believe.. It talks about existence of human first and than rest all follows after that.. More like a Karma yoga of Swami Vivekananda who says do what you feel is correct and just give your best without too much of other things..

There's an easy solution for everything until you try to put it to practical test.
