Parse the following and then see if you can figure out where I took the illogical leap.
"You know whats good for yourself more than anyone else. Therefor I know whats good for myself more than anyone else. If I am right about myself than I must know better than anyone else in terms of what I should personally do from a moral level. If I know better than my sense of morality must be superior. Since morality can be superior morality must be objective."
This isn't an exact example of Rand's thinking. However, she used that kind of thinking pretty consistantly.
