Rand had a large influence, but she was philosophically immature. She doesn't argue her conclusions, but rather makes the assertions the argument itself. There is no justification in Ayn Rand. Minimalists do not need Rand faux "philosophy". She's a joke!!
Calling someone a joke is not an argument. Shall I point out you start with an insult (philosophical immature), follow that by an assertion, the very thing you attack her for doing. And then wrapi it up with another insult. Is that maturity?
