Gregory's Server@neauoire @cblgh she was a huge advocate for egoism (which is in direct opposition to the ideas held in panpsychism) and was the founder of objectivism, which right-libertarians and conservatives were quick to embrace and expand on. I have no doubt her writing is wonderful though. At some point I would like to read her stuff, but I've struggled to have the stomach for itâknowing all that came after the seeds she sowed.

@neauoire @levibeach @cblgh Fountainhead is her first book, and I guess her ideology (objectivism) is more prominent in Atlas Shrugged. But she was extremely racist and white supremacist, here are some quotes from wiki: |
@levibeach @cblgh There's plenty of better writing to read before reading that, I'm not sure if there's anything for you in Fountainhead, it's a bit like The Prince but with a focus on architecture in a sort of noir envelope, it pits modernism and a more conservative practice and drags it in the mud. If you like Citees Obscures, 13th Floor, Dark City, Ergo Proxy, Mornings Of The Magicians, it might appeal to you. It definitely has a anti-establishment thing going.
