I used to be a psychotic little Randian, trying to make sense of Objectivism's ridiculous contradictions, until I realized I couldn't square the circle of why people should have kids.
Babies have absolutely no value in a purely individualistic profit-seeking world. Why would anybody have a kid if they can't even send it to work in the uranium mines for 5 whole years?
In other words, I realized that if everybody acted the way Ayn Rand wanted them to, that would be the last generation of a species that chooses to extinguish itself.
Which is why children are as absent as the Working Class in all her books.
