It’s difficult to put into context for those who weren’t there just how big of a star David Letterman was in March of 1994. He had just left NBC nine months earlier—where he’d reigned tall at 12:30 AM for 11 years—to move up to 11:30 PM at CBS as host of The Late Show. This was a franchise created especially for him,...

Yeah I didn’t take issue with the definition or literal use, it’s that what that person wrote doesn’t correspond with what you said with any interpretation of “punish”.
Ayn Rands’ arguments can be picked out without reading the entirety of Atlas Shrugged, key passages, interviews, and interpreters are enough. And there seems to be a resounding consensus that her arguments are too weak and flawed to be philosophy as opposed to mere opinion. She contradicts herself and notoriously refused to address any criticism of her points. She is speaking too generally and not subjectively, and your post suggests to look at her life as anecdotal evidence for her positions. A big no no in philosophy. If she’s doing philosophy, her upbringing shouldn’t technically matter to a more universal truth. I was raised Conservative Christian, for example, and I don’t believe one should think oh these factual claims have more weight because of my upbringing. Why shouldn’t I be able to disagree with her? Lastly, she gets hate because of how many Ethical Egoists tout her as their go to gal, when her arguments are incredibly flawed and not close to academic. There are better Egoists with somewhat sound arguments out there even if you so choose to believe that crap. I do feel you on the downvotes, Lemmings are so trigger happy when it’s a harmless opinion they dislike. I’ll upvote you lol
Love WFH for taking care of animals, stress free guilt free breaks, all my home comforts, but I do feel extra sedative when working for hours and do get a bit lonely wishing I could make more coworker friends, but they’re on the other side of the continent

Without sources I’m calling BS. A few minutes Googling and I found studies claiming the opposite. Disclaimer: I don’t care about this topic and would probably just COED all sports. I kinda hate professional sports generally
Respectfully, that is apples to oranges. You are unable to function as a regular person in China with bad social credit. Here you can’t get loans and sometimes your employer sees.
