PRIDE “AI Overview”:
In Ayn Rand’s philosophy, pride is a virtue, specifically “moral ambitiousness,” where individuals strive to live up to their highest ideals and achieve moral perfection. It’s about valuing one’s self-esteem and taking the steps to earn it through rational behavior and self-improvement. Rand contrasts this with the common understanding of pride as a flaw, highlighting its positive role in achieving individual happiness and flourishing.

Sin? Paraphrasing Christopher Hitchens, I refuse to tolerate, sanction, deal with anyone speaking to me in such a manner. Not even myself.
