Ayn Rand produced gibberish, but surprisingly high quality gibberish.

[Adios]

I gotta admit, this sort of seems like making a mountain out of a molehill but I wasn't present for the IRC part of the conversation so I have no way of knowing for sure.

It's my molehill and I'll make it as big as I want.

Actually, her work seemed like badly written romance novels to me.

Her fiction was, but her non-fiction was ironclad bullshit of the highest order.

I only tried her two main novels.  They were absolute garbage, both as stories and as political screeds.

I tried one (I think it was Atlas is Awesome or something) once but made it only a third of the way through when I was bored to death by the main characters Twilightish self-centered shallowness... it could have got better for all I know. Or maybe that was the point. Maybe the books where just satires of her own political belief system, or maybe they're just retarded... I have no plans on finding out anytime soon.

All I know from Rand is what I get from her internet followers who try to apply her teachers to real people... in the real world... kind of like all I really know about Ron Paul.

I've seen Malvarma in IRC, and he/she/it is a pedantic fuckknuckle that won't STFU. I approve of any action that makes him/her/it GTFO.

What is that in the barn?  Looks like an O or a 0.

I think that image was 'watermarked'.

Agreed. It's like a bad sex story, complete with corny erotic dialog. Except right before they get down to business, some character pontificates a preachy overwrought philosophical monologue.

(There's actually a part in either Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead where a monologue about philosophy directly segues into a sex scene. I spent 20 minutes trying to find where it is, but I'm having trouble. If any one knows the scene I'm talking about, please post. It's hilarious. )

Ayn knew how to get those Wallstreet types off.
