I'm a quasiobjectivist. I really like their systematic and internally self-consistent philosophical system, but I have also examined critically many of the precepts of objectivism, particularly the commonly perceived objectivist "demonizing" of altruism. I believe altruism does indeed have its place in society and to deny that would be to blind yourself to some basic facts about human nature, namely, that one who seeks nothing but his own happiness will never find it. Altruism is hard-wired into the human psyche because evolution demands that it be, for the simple reason that an altruistic species is more likely to survive. However, on a "higher" level, so to speak, altruism is really compatible with objectivism provided you accept that you are in fact transacting something for an emotional value.

In addition, I have a major problem with the Ayn Rand's seemingly illogical attachment to volition, or free will. I'm essentially a determinist; having volition means that you have to accept dualism and the concept of the mind as being something non-material. I can't find any evidence that supports this, and thus the principle of Occam's Razor tells me that it's as nonsensical as theism for exactly the same reasons.
