Rand is the most misunderstood writer in history ..and not for any of the reasons most people think.
Her own tribal narcisism was apparent but I'm the idea of the artists visins as in the fountain head modern people indoctrinated into the hiarchy fallacy paradigm it does not make any send to them..The modern mind through generations is filled with notions of victimhood and obedience to authority in a hierarchy.
I knew I would get all these demonizing responses to the simple mention of her...
The same way the system turned everyone away from anything that hints how an idea and concept is valid no matter where it originates. This whole arrival is about that and yet here we have it demonstrated in its own living color.
And now I will be also vilified for pointing it out.
Your mistake is to think that because Rand championed nonconformity she must be a hero even though she also worshiped selfishness, even in the extreme of getting starry-eyed over a mass murderer--because he showed no remorse. So he was so wonderfully nonconformist! Her family fled the USSR, and she reacted against the advent of communism, a rather extreme embracing of the common good over individual interest, by embracing the opposite extreme. The notion that we are and should be separate individuals, each focused on Number One, is contrary to human nature--with the exception of sociopaths, we need each other, we benefit from setting things up so that everyone benefits, so we work cooperatively. Most of us feel good when we help others, when we are able to work i n harmony with others. Seeing oneself as in constant conflict with others, and seeking to triumph over everyone else, is sickness.
First off saying I mistake her ideas around none conformity as hero worship is exagerating my actual opinion.
Her talking about one minded artistic expression is then seen as selfishness is an inaccurate portrayal of the concept.. If you read the fountain head it was about that notion that true artists often have their work stolen by capitalists.
The murderer she used as example to demonstrate a concept about the mind of a murderer and sociopath was then taken as she advocated the murderer ...It fascinated me how so many people can not see the context distortions in the demonizing of others for opinions that might be used to counter their own naratives as though provoking examples .
This is how people are demonized to discredit them.
Twist their thoughts and words around to mean the opposite of what they try and convey. Most of the time this is taken from second hand opinion as fact.
This is how the system admins Caitlin is talking about do it

The matrix has most of you.
Hi Chaz
I have never read any of her books, but perhaps will now, for the simple reason of curiosity.
Prepared to be thoroughly bored and horrified.
😂

Lot to unpack here.
