MODERATORS
That's how you trick the gullible, start with a bit of truth they can understand and then jump off the deep end into lunacy.
The same can be said about basically anything, that's why you have a brain to evaluate what parts are grounded in the truth and what is a conclusion drawn from truth that serves the specific needs of whoever is spinning the narrative.
You can agree with some principles of a work and reject others. What parts of her philosophy do you find to be lunacy?
Almost forgot:
Yeah.. I'm not a fan of that either personally.
The premise that some people are just better than everyone else is not intelligent. Valuing a person's worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.
Of course you don't value people based on their productivity! That's downright anti-American "from each according to his ability" commie talk! You value people based on their net worth! One Dollar, One Vote, that's what I always say.
/s,
Some people are just better in terms of being productive. I don't see how that's debatable. The question is just if you let those people keep they're outsized earnings or you forcibly redistribute them.

I'm going to respond so hopefully you grow.
Productivity is difficult to measure or define. Intelligence is similar. Regardless, neither of these things define value in a human life. Some people love to cook, some are great at reading comic books. One might be really good at watching TV. In the end, your preference for what is seen as valuable comes to your preference. There's nothing objective about it. More concretely, in many engineering jobs great engineers are promoted into management positions for which they are ill suited. They make more money, are they not definitionally more productive? Yet the company and team is worse off.
As for your question, Rand is not subtle about her thoughts.
Odd to me that you equate productivity with the value of a person.
I do not. Rand explicitly does.
I like her stance on economics and free markets .. Also the prime mover concept is somewhat accurate
