  1. Why is Ayn Rand disliked by so many people ! Because she writes in a bullying, hectoring style; her writing reads like the Communist propaganda-novels written by committees in Stalin's day, except from the opposite philosophical orientation. ! Because her fans dress so badly (and are arrogant and loopy) ! Because her ideas are simplistic, juvenile, and boring. The real world is complicated. Most philosophical questions are not answered "yes" or "no"; they are answered "sometimes" or "under certain circumstances but not others". They cannot be answered by machines or by simple formulae.
