Ah, good old Objectivists. I personally find a lack of entertainment value in Objectivism. If I could give it a slogan, it would be: "The philosophy that keeps asking 'why, why, why' until it gets to Ayn Rand, and then it just stops." You can always count on Objectivists to show up whenever personal liberty is being discussed, just to remind us all that they have all the answers, and if we would just read Atlas Shrugged or some other ponderous tome, we would really begin to develop our minds. It's a lot like a political version of Scientology in that regard, and just as scientific.
Now, having said that, I do currently enjoy a technolibertarian vision of the future. Everything that threatens to be valuable is quickly rendered free by emerging technologies, and my right to go a fucking DAY without hearing about Ayn Rand will finally be respected by everyone.
