Amen, brother😁 Twenty-five years ago almost to the day her non-fiction "For the New Intellectuals" changed my life. I finally found someone whose ideas and philosophy I could agree with to the core. I've spent these twenty-five years trying to understand and confirm what I knew instinctively reading the first five pages of that book - that she was right - my life is my own and 'the good' is to live it to the very best of my ability.
Thank you for being a devoted, intelligent reader and for making the effort to support my writing and this publication with your paid subscription and active commentary. This means everything to me.
Especially today, when I celebrate the writer whose stories and ideas gave me the courage to think, challenge and write for myself.

Wishing you a happy Ayn Rand birthday, Russ.
