A novel is ipso facto new. She wrote a few of them: <Rand made an impact on the times, especially in the '60s, but said nothing new. And also misled many folk.>

So you are ipso facto mistaken. Ipso facto is fancy latin jargon which is fun to use. My favourites are ultra vires, infra vide, habeas corpses, inter alia. Infra vide was kindly donated by an SI lawyer a few years ago. I think there were another one or two, but I have forgotten them. How did she mislead many folk?

Apart from wanting wo write "ipso facto", you are right in that the philosophy she wrote ["said"] was previously written such as for example in the constitution and arriving at the same philoosophical conclusions doesn't require reading her "new" ideas. I had never heard of her until the mid 1990s but had formed the same thoughts after much experience and thinking about how the world works.

I have not yet seen any critics of hers use reason or explain how she's wrong. They assume it's a given and denigrate from there. Ponokee issues many such challenges but gets no takers.
