That's old lady Ayn Rand. What about 26 year old just moved into a studio by the beach Ayn Rand?

O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

i can write 1000 pages of dumb horseshit, too, as evidenced by this very website. nobody gives a gently caress. that's how it should have stayed.

john galt: don't gently caress with other people's poo poo, don't inconvenience others

libertarians: this john galt guy's "gently caress other people, get yours at any cost" philosophy really speaks to me!

any rand: yes exactly

Didn't Ayn Rand put a bell on her husband so that she knew where he was at all times?

Looked it up, she had her husband put a bell on his shoe so she wouldn't be surprised by his entrance on her having sex with somebody 25 years her junior. Whether it's true or not, I'd err on the side of it being true.

There was also the time when Ayn Rand was a stripper and they announced her with "are you ready to get Ayn Randy?" but it didn't last long because she would simply go to the people in the room and simply take their wallets to fund her addiction to Funkopops. "John Galt would approve!" she'd screech any time someone would try to protect their wallet from her.

little do people know but Ayn Rand once tried her hand at producing cartoons under her pseudonym Galt Jisney.

She is also the inspiration for the character of 'Randy' from the hit Canadian show 'Trailer Park Boys'

I'm also angry all the time. Hell, made a thread about it yesterday. Ya know what I didn't do? Be the rear end in a top hat who invented Libertarianism. You know why? Because Ayn Rand beat me to it. Being a child as an adult sounds really cool until you are the child, or the adult. Anyway she sucks and I'm glad she's dead

she didn't invent libertarianism, she invented objectivism which is somehow worse

Ayn Rand would 100% be a loud supporter of Effective Altruism these days.

Ok so I'm not the only one who interpreted it as an objectivist tract, good.

Whether or not Kurt Vonnegut wanted me to feel bad about the Randian superman being brought down by the big bad equality enforcing government, it doesn't change the fact that he made that idea look really stupid. So, good job I guess.

my interpretation was that vonnegut was making the point that even if a hypothetical randian superman rose up, he'd be buried and memoryholed by the system, like, immediately. vonnegut was a pessimist

A new detective show gets made, they investigate the murders of people in the arts, like writers or painters. Each one more bizarre than the last. You could have Ayn Rand and Kirk Vonnegut be the main duo.

Kirk could have the catchphrase, "Call it my Vonnegut feeling..." and Rand can be the punchline in every scene. The wacky guy in the office that never seems to actually work can be Hunter S Thompson, and you can have the chief be, like, JRR Tolkien.

George RR Martin is the guy working cold cases saying he'll finish them soon, he swears.
