Yes and what Rand made up was awful The ideal she had in her mind that Hickman represented of someone "born to rule" is horrid horseshit Like, we don't know what was going on in the real Hickman's head but what she made up was this worst case scenario that she idealized
In reality, Hickman argued an insanity defense in his trial, saying he didn't even know what he was doing when he was doing it and "an angel" took possession of him and made him kill the girl
I think this was bullshit, as did the jury, as did Rand But if it were true, then it would've been a reason to show mercy, because it would be less bad than if he decided to kill the girl because he was Angry at Society or whatever garbage
Ayn Rand takes it as read that he was lying about the angels possessing him and that he was lying about converting to Catholicism and being filled with remorse after his sentencing, that it was all lies to try to get acquitted or else pull for a pardon
And she finds this ADMIRABLE She likes the stupid Joker "I did it for the lulz, I did it cause I don't care, I did it to punish the world for not recognizing I'm special" motive She'd be DISAPPOINTED if the real Hickman really was crazy, and then really was sorry
Who’s reading things into what now? Careful. You might be projecting.
I'm not "reading into" anything my dude, she waxes quite lyrical about her idea of the imaginary Hickman's righteous contempt for the boring middle class life he was forced to livepic.twitter.com/dSlUtsQkcM

Yes I just said that I am in fact saying Rand's imaginary Hickman, her "ideal" of this Nietzschean Ubermensch, is in fact the worst possible person in the world And that it's actually possible the real Hickman who would've "disappointed" her wasn't quite that bad
Like I just said I don't actually believe his last-minute conversion and remorse was sincere But I don't know that it wasn't, it could've been And while if it were that wouldn't be enough to redeem him it would at least make him more human than this Joker cartoon Ayn made up
