Pretty thin gruel. Someone who disliked Ayn Rand finds another reason to dislike her.
Now here are some of Rand's notes on the fictional hero she was developing, with Hickman (or what he "suggested") as a model:"Other people have no right, no hold, no interest or influence on him. And this is not affected or chosen -- it's inborn, absolute, it can't be changed, he has 'no organ' to be otherwise. In this respect, he has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel 'other people.' "
Yes, isn't it? This whole thing seems to sit astraddle a plausibility gap. Wish I had more time to dig into this.
