And then she died and we're still here; dealing with a bunch of assholes not caring about what happens to the world after they die.

    I mean, she's making some absurdly epistemological point. If all I know is my experiences, then all I know ends when my experiences end. Its asanine to take that as some sort of sage wisdom though when its verifiably false.

        Ayns basic viewpoint on everything was that ego centrism was good actually. When she says the world here she’s basically saying “as I experience it” in parenthesis.

        Of course she knows the world will continue to exist after she dies but being that she held her own experience and self above all else, since she couldn’t experience the world any more for all intents and purpose, it may as well be the world that ceases to exist. For her anyway.

        Yknow… dumb right libertarian shit :ancap-good:
