The Case Against Extreme Wealth With Ingrid Robeyns 

You're too kind. This sort of stuff is just rank leftist populism dressed up as Academia.

The Madness is also, it is accually not about money, it is about technology, manpower ect. because money do nothing just people but people do nothing without money.

Well, funnily, when Ayn Rand suffered cancer, she filed for social and medical welfare. Her work and life is a great example for the human fantasy to be indenpendet from anyone else (I mean, tempting, it no matter would be great) and the crushing realization that it can never be more than a fantasy. And a quite dangerous and socially damaging. Sadly, her early works are still received without the larger context of her life, mostly as fuel for contemporaries who indulge in similar fantasies. It's nothing but a lure.

@@asymptotischverhalten228 "Social Security is not voluntary. Your participation is forced through payroll taxes, with no choice to opt out even if you think the program harmful to your interests. If you consider such forced “participation” unjust, as Rand does, the harm inflicted on you would only be compounded if your opposition to the program’s injustice were to preclude you from collecting Social Security at retirement. This being said, your moral integrity does require that you view the funds only as (partial) restitution for all that has been taken from you and you continue, sincerely, to argue against the welfare state. In contrast, on Rand’s view the advocate of Social Security is not the victim but the supporter of legalized plunder, whether he realizes it or not. This fact morally disqualifies him from accepting the spoils “redistributed” by the welfare state. Rand’s position on the welfare state is no doubt controversial. But for critics to dismiss it as hypocrisy is a confession of ignorance or worse. Unfortunately, there exists a long history of Rand’s opponents distorting her positions to attack straw men. With Rand now so prominent in our national debate, let’s see if we can raise the bar and discuss her actual views." newideal.aynrand.org/what-gave-ayn-rand-the-moral-right-to-collect-social-security/#:~:text=Rand%20morally%20opposes%20the%20welfare,for%20king%2C%20neighbor%20or%20pope. Nothing confesses how intellectually second handed or ignorant someone is when dealing with Rand's ideas than talking about her talking social security i.e partially getting the money stolen from her back.

@@asymptotischverhalten228 Her work was not about being 'independent from anyone else', so you are doing nothing more than burning a straw man.

Proverbs 29:7 “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.” Mark 10:21 ... "You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Deuteronomy 15:7 If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother. Deuteronomy 15:11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.” Luke 6:20 ...Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-16... That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil...
