ayn rand and salmon

nas says:
yeah, i've made efforts to not read ayn rand
nas says:
it all looks so painful
lay-c dot com says:
it is. i can't help but think about how salmon swim upstream when i read her stuff.
nas says:
hahaha
lay-c dot com says:
seems so ridiculous and futile.
nas says:
yeah
lay-c dot com says:
and yet
lay-c dot com says:
that's how salmon spawn
lay-c dot com says:
so, i guess there will always be "objectivists"
lay-c dot com says:
whatever.
nas says:
haha
nas says:
i remember learning about salmon in elementary school
nas says:
it was so depressing
nas says:
they were like "and then the salmon swims and swims upstream, and the ones that make it past the bears just keep swimming, and then they finally make it upstream, and then they die."
lay-c dot com says:
yeah that's kind of what reading an ayn rand book is like.
nas says:
:)
lay-c dot com says:
no for real. you're like, I just read 900 pages for THAT?
nas says:
haha... right. that's awful.
nas says:
did you read "atlas shrugged"?
lay-c dot com says:
I think I started it
nas says:
which one did you read?
lay-c dot com says:
i read the fountainhead several times
lay-c dot com says:
it's a good book with a really jacked up philosophy
nas says:
really? interesting
lay-c dot com says:
good story, but again, i can't stop thinking about salmon
nas says:
haha :) poor salmon
nas says:
we should just end their misery early by eating them
lay-c dot com says:
too bad paperbacks are inedible
