Description

Matthew Platts, 19, first became interested in Ayn Rand at the age of 15, when a humorous accident involving a banoffee pie and a jar of pickled onions caused him to stumble upon the novella Anthem. As a result, he felt it necessary to follow up in reading as many of Ayn Rand's other writings as possible. Spending much time in philosophical thought, Matthew is worryingly sympathetic to logical positivism, and as such, may be labelled a fact denying whim-worshipper at will.
Youthful good looks and an appetite for film-making do not prevent his libertarian sentiments from being despised amongst the conservatives, liberals and socialists at the University of York.

I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body.
(Quotes) What would I do with his money if I have to give up my mind in order to get it?
(Quotes) With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
(Quotes) I think that in trying to understand the socialists, you have confused yourself, which I don't wonder. The truth is that they do not understand themselves. As for Karl Marx, he is the prince of muddleheads
(Quotes) "Thinking men cannot be ruled."
