I introduce all of my male relatives to Ayn Rand when they hit 15. Libertarianism is an attractive idea at that age and this gives them a chance to explore it with actual adults. It’s an inoculation. Three years later they’ll see how disconnected from reality it is and then I can spring On Walden Pond on them. “Aha!” I say. “It turns out that Libertarianism works as a personal philosophy!”
