Rand ping.

[Billthedrill]

Thanks for the ping! The core of this essay is Rand’s occasionally grim recognition of objective reality, born out of personally seeing her own society having its pretensions and fantasies torn from it by force and replaced with someone else’s equally fallacious and much more malignant ones. We are witnessing something similar at the moment: men can be women, weather can be commanded, anything we want at the price of ceding complete control to the State. You can avoid the realization that it leads to disaster, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding it.
