No, I don't, and that's no hypocrisy ;)
Ps.: Please don't ever say your views are based on Ayn Rand's if you want to look literate. You're German, you can read Max Stirner and go for something way more elaborate.

It's a hyperbole, Mr. Linguist. :p
And I never refer to Rand, I haven't read her stuff and from what I know about it it's crap. I was asking whether I sound like Rand because I frankly didn't know.

Nah, you're too smart to sound like her. Next time just ask whether you sound like Max Stirner then. It's bound to give you brownie points with well-read egoists and annoy the hell out of philosophy students who have not read him.
See? It's a win-win situation :D

Meat sounds just like Rand, really. He does not use highly emotional rhetoric like she did, but the positions are the same.

Pssstt, don't tell him that! I'm trying to get him into actual philosophy! :mad: :p

I will start reading Sophie's World as soon as you start John dies at the End. Deal?

Come on, that's barely philosophy! :p
You read A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell and I read John dies at the End. I'm sure you'll like his snarky approach to the subject. Deal?

That's kind of the point. You really expect me to start out on a subject I completely disregard with almost 900 pages of pure boredom. While you get 450 pages of pure awesome, including psychic bratwursts, driving dogs and a meat monster. What kind of deal is that? Seems like you missed out a great career as a Brazilian car salesman.

Fair enough. Read just the bit about modern philosophy (just a third of the book) - I doubt you'll hate it :D
