...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.
Philosophy Thinking Focus
The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.

The further limits of our being plunge, it seems to me, into an altogether other dimension of existence from the sensible and merely understandable world. name it the mystical region, or the supernatural region, whichever you choose. so far as our ideal impulses originate in this region (and most of them do originate in it, for we find them possessing us in a way for which we cannot articulately account), we belong to it in a more intimate sense than that in which we belong to the visible world, for we belong in the most intimate sense wherever our ideals belong.

Belief is one of the most powerful organic forces in the multiverse. it may not be able to move mountains, exactly. but it can create someone who can. people get exactly the wrong idea about belief. they think it works back to front. they think the sequence is, first object, then belief. in fact, it works the other way.

I'm not suggesting at all that we take away all of the characters' vices. i am suggesting that this particular vice is so insidious, so nefarious, and so deadly that simply by glamorizing it or poisoning our young adults, and i think it's a very separate category, but in no way am i suggesting that we move on from banning smoking in movies to banning drinking, you know, or whatever else we want to do.
