Kelsey Simms Yup. Once you read one of them, you've read them all. Or, just read the Libertarianism entry on Wikipedia.

Lisa Ok. Alex, aka Dagny's brother Jim. I'll remember your advice - since such insight proved so helpful to the character.

Sasha Happy to help! Also happy to have no idea whether you're agreeing with me or not.

Rachel Weiner In other words, reality is dumb? The whole thing is advocating reason. The real enemy in the book are those who seek to use others for their reason.

Tzvi Deutsch Whatever reason you read it, just read it :), so you can draw your own conclusions. Alex, what do you find dumb about Ayn Rand?

Sasha Didn't see these chuckleheads asking me about Ayn Rand like they've never heard someone dis her before...well, chuckleheads, you can check out my review of Atlas Shrugged if you like, or John Oliver's video piece from above, or the vast majority of intelligent people you've ever met, because grown-ups do tend to agree that Rand is dumb.
