Does this really belong on HN? As a sidenote, why is it okay to quote Nietze (who died in a mental hospital) whilst wearing a Che Guevera T-shirt yet it is wrong to say anything about Rand? Does the author’s personal life have any bearing on his argument? (Btw, my favourite writer was on death row and second favourite was addicted to morphine and shot his brains out. This does not detract any of their works – on the contrary, it makes it more interesting).
