 <html>I can appreciate Atlas Shrugged as a well constructed narrative, but I disagree with &lt;i&gt;a lot&lt;/i&gt; of its philosophical framework. The system of Objectivism is incredibly reductive of the nature of art, promotes a presumptuous and obstinate engagement of epistemology grounded only on loose empiricism, and effectively romanticizes the prospect of being a totally selfish jerk to everyone around you.</html>
