Francois Tremblay I have not. However, I read this guy's blog and I think he's correct on his main points. This is his book:

Now, I have not read this book, so I don't know if his thesis is the same as that of his blog. But on his blog, his thesis is that Objectivism is flawed because it is wrong about human nature and that this error pervades the whole ideology. Read his blog first and see if you agree or not, I guess.

Cik Binti Indra (NapoleonBlownapart) | 1 comments Objectivism is incoherent. If it were pure egoism like Max Stirner I would say it's a consistent (though nihilistic) ideology; but Objectivsm wants to be both Liberal and Egoist; and the fact is they are just not compatible ideologies. The libertarians in general would be better off with more Nietzsche and less Jefferson. (I am not a libertarian or an Objectivist, though I don't have a knee jerk hatred of them as many on the 'religious left' do).
