Of the protagonist in her story, a murderer, she wrote, “He doesn’t understand, because thankfully he has no organ for understanding, the necessity, meaning or importance of other people.”
As to the actual Hickman… she spends pages describing his admirable qualities, including his “disdainful countenance,” “his immense, explicit egoism,” and the fact that he is, in her estimation, “a brilliant, unusual, exceptional boy”
Ayn writing about a man who dismembered a 12 year old girl.
Reading her notes about how she thinks people hate the child-dismemberer because he's too much of an individualist has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life.
I'm reading through the liberal summary or Atlas Shrugged so you don't have to
Oh no, don't do it comrade! That shit will give you an aneurysm.
Hence why I'm sharing it with you guys haha. I can handle cringe, there's something just so perfectly bad about Rand that makes it entertaining to read about. The liberal writing the summary is kinda too cringe sometimes though.
Alright but don't blame me if it causes you to spontaneously combust lmao
