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. Mqurice

And also misled many folk. The Bible speaks very strongly about that. Please advise where Ayn Rand misled the multitude. Jeremiah 38:22 All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. Those women will say to you: “‘They misled you and overcame you— those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.’ Jeremiah 38:21-23 (in Context) Jeremiah 38 (Whole Chapter) 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:32-34 (in Context) 1 Corinthians 15 (Whole Chapter) biblegateway.com
