You might consider taking her seriously, she has had about 10000 times more impact on American society then any other "philosopher." Maybe Jesus, Plato, Aristotle and the pragmatist are competitive influence wise. I don't know of any philosophical system that really holds up to close examination, at best people try to pretend that they live by or interpret the world in an intellectually consistent manner and fail realize that they are full of shit.
Not a fan of Rand, I think people are a lot more like ants then lions, pretending to be something you are not generally creates unhappy outcomes.
