  1. Ayn Rand's nonsense is way, way, way worse than you think. Thom Hartman pointed out a while back what was found in Ayn Rand's diaries a few years ago. Someone got access to them and found notes regarding who she based one of her characters on. It's in a video titled "Meet The Child-Killer Who Inspired The GOP's Cruelty" Take note that what Thom's related was WRITTEN in Ayn Rand's diaries. Its not stuff someone else claimed she said. Its stuff she wrote down. Once you realise what sort of a person Ayn Rand was, parents ought to be asking if her novels are material suitable for school age children.

  2. And for a follow up go and watch David Pakman debate Yaron Brook the current head of the Ayn Rand Institute you can can watch first hand this attitude. Its titled "DEBATE: Does Ayn Rand Make ANY SENSE?" Heads up - its seriously aggravating. And if that's not enough there's a truly monumental whack job named Alex Epstein also from the Ayn Rand Institute who is still wandering about the world doing interviews on his books "Fossil Fuels Improve the Planet (2013)" "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014)" and his latest "Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas - Not Less (2022)." Heads up - I tired watching one of his interviews once and had to stop before I lost it. He is one of the most narcissistic turds in the history of the planet.
