So, SINCE I've read, I don't understand my observation that other people's thinking is not affected by it.

It may be somewhat difficult to see societal trends
above impromptu remarks from conversations with
friends, but do you think the decline in trade unionism
and the tremendous growth in individual activity and
personal networking on The Web in America could
be influenced to any degree but Ayn Rand's work?

Could you think of other broad trends that may have
appeared since the middle of The Twentieth Century
that could have been influenced by Rand yet might not
be reflected on by individuals in casual conversation?

That is precisely what the author of the article is writing about. Maybe he's right. But you still see people asking questions and taking positions all the time which have Randian responses that should've been anticipated.

Maybe I'm just seeing the world through dirt-colored glasses.
