So-called "Objectivism", the "philosophy" of Ayn Rand, is nothing but ableism thinly disguised as a philosophy.
A person's abilities and disabilities DO NOT define that person's worth. Thinking they do is putting the cart before the horse. Who cares what you can or can't do if it isn't useful TO someone? So answer me this: Are people valuable because they can do things, or are the things people can do valuable because they're useful...to people?
The value of all the things we experience comes from our experience of them. Our moral worth originates within us. It is primary, and is not derived, as the value of our abilities is.
