The biggest problem with Objectivism isn't inherent in the philosophy. It's that too many people, once they call themselves Objectivists (or anything-else-ists), stop thinking for themselves (which is what Objectivists are supposed to do) and instead strive for conformity to the tenets without comprehension. In doing so, they miss the whole point. It's like Life of Brian: "Yes, we are all individuals."
