Why is it that people say Ayn Rand isn’t a “real” philosopher? 

Americans are, often with justification, regarded as not being versed in philosophy. This is a shame, as the United States and the colonies that proceeded it have produced many great thinkers

Everybody wants to be happy, right? Who wouldn’t try to get as many pleasurable experiences as they could? Well, if this philosopher is right. You wouldn’t.
