While I don't share them, you're entitled to your views on Rand, of course. But please don't think me too picayune for correcting your description of Branden. He is not even a licensed psychologist with an accredited degree, let alone a psychiatrist. The "father of self-esteem" obtained his "psychology degree" from a non-accredited diploma factory by virtue of some haphazard lecture tapes he threw together from his days at NBI (Nathaniel Branden Institute). I don't believe Branden ever actually received his undergraduate degree from NYU, the last school he attended, let alone jumped through all the hoops a psychiatrist must jump through.
There are some other dubious assertions in your post, but that was the one that jumped out at me the most.
