Good point. I read Ayn Rand’s brilliant (and prescient) journey into the human mind while in high school decades ago. Reading it was among of the best things I did to prepare for adulthood and for understanding human emotions and motivations — far better than anything I learned in college about such things (even back when universities still functioned as centers for critical thinking and open discussion).
