When Ayn Rand was a little girl, her parents took all her toys away to give to the "less fortunate." Perhaps the memory of that bit of abuse was triggered when people advocated altruism, and that's why she was like that.

When I was a little boy, public school told me that understanding the stuff the first time was (as we would now say) a privilege, and Equality required that I STFU and not act out while they kept repeating things for the slow kids and nothing was offered for me. When people advocate egalitarianism, I try not to be like Ayn Rand, but I don't always succeed.
