For almost any normal person, including fans of mafia movies or heist movies or the like, there's nothing to admire about someone like Hickman He wasn't even a *successful* bad guy like a Scarface or an actual serial killer, he wasn't even *smart*

It takes a hugely distorted perspective to read "genius" into kidnapping a little girl because her parents trusted you and then killing her and delivering her body to her parents when collecting her ransom - *that they were willing to pay* - because you're just quirky that way

Huh. This REALLY bothers you doesn’t it. Something tells me 23 year old Ayn Rand would be rather pleased that she has co completely got your goat. But, if you read the passage, she agreed with you, saying she was probably wrongly idealizing him in her, once again, private journal

"Ho ho ho, I got you, I got you, successfully trolled" Yes It's deeply fucked up and it should bother anyone who hears about it

The worst thing about that passage is, in fact, Rand's contempt and fury at what, if she were on the Internet today, she'd call "virtue signaling" Her rage at all the people "piling" on to call Hickman a sick twisted fuck That normal people were proud of being normal

It’s not really a passage. It’s a journal entry. I think you need to put this in perspective before blow a blood vessel. Let me ask you this: If you never knew she wrote this in her journal when she was 23, alone and starving in Hollywood, would you feel the same about her?

Uh yeah This isn't actually that well known a fact about Rand, most of whose haters hate her over her published work and what she actually did with her life It's just a particularly shocking fact once you do learn it

I disagree. I think this is the paramount evidence people use to condemn her. If you disagree, then please enlighten me as to what you think it is. I mean, she is certainly condemned by a broad swath of the public and this journal entry she wrote at 23 is always front and center

No, it isn't, the text of The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged is enough by itself and is far better known than this tidbit, which continues to surprise a lot of people to hear about every time I bring it up

I had never heard about this journal entry—most of the folks I know rightly despise Rand for her purile, sociopathic published works.

Yeah Rand's connection to Hickman is NOT well known at all This dude is just saying it's the main thing people hate about her because it is kind of a slam dunk, like most people who do hear about it find it to be completely indefensible
