“There are no objective facts ... Every report on facts is only somebody’s opinion. It is, therefore, useless to write about facts.” So say the journalists, editors and publishers of Atlas Shrugged. Does anything sound eerily familiar in that rant?

Sounds like deconstructivism to me. Thank God that's finally started to be discredited in academic circles.

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

In Rand's day, deconstructivism was just a gleam in the eye of a nihilistic academic somewhere. Rand had had her experience with nihilism in Bolshevik Russia, but here she was creating the academic basis for denying reality itself, which will come soon in the book.

Damn, you're good!
