Funny how so many independent people follow Rand like lemmings.

Reminds me of independent motorcycle riders -— all dressed in black leather jackets, white shirt, blue jeans, black boots, and a Harley -— a Harley, mind you, not some “other” brand. (Not that Harley’s aren’t nice bikes, as they are, but the lemming issue is clear.)
For the record, I’ve been to Sturgis. (Dressed in black, on a Harley — but with a kippah -— and no, noone ever bothered me, but I did get a lot of photographs taken with me.)

Rand has her limitations (notably she did not recognize the soul directly) but to suggest people follow her as a cult is mistaken. Rand is the logical conclusion of the enlightenment, if you depart with Adam Smith, Locke, go to Jefferson/Madison and American Constitution, you will arrive at Rand. It took Rand’s talents and unique history to culminate in the Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged. A Russian emigre fleeing the communist revolution gave her an informed opinion on collectivization. She is the antithesis of collectivization. If you have not read her work, I would recommend that you take the time to do so.
LOL!

Funny how so many independent mathematicians follow Pathagoras like lemmings.
Recognizing truth when clearly articulated is not following anyone.
