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
I don’t think it has any bearing. She was “psychologizing” him, which is something she warned against as entirely unreliable for anything other than character development in her later writings. Anything he did after his usefulness as a prop ended likely wouldn’t have mattered.
Okay My point is even if Hickman weren't real and no murder happened in real life, her fictional construct around it is deeply fucked - although the fact that one DID happen and Rand wasn't at all interested, even perfunctorily, in the victim or her family is also fucked
Her whole ideal of a "truly free man" is inherently and completely fucked The fact that in real life she developed it while getting gooey over an actual factual child murderer just illustrates that fact, but the fact stands on its own
Yeah. When she was 23. I guess you missed the memo, but I was a firefighter and competed in MMA throughout my 20s because I figured out in my teenager years that chicks dig danger and violence. It gets a little less pronounced as they age. But 23 year olds? Most definitely
Even if that were true, I'd be much less judgmental of someone who just admitted they had a problematic kink at that age rather than, as a completely grown-ass middle-aged woman, writing immense doorstopper rants about how only giant assholes are real men
Could there have been a level of protection? Could Howard Roark and John Galt be self-inserts of Ayn Rand?
Not really from reading an analysis of it and her works. She stated several times the believe in a superior man for women to admire and had more blatant inserts in Dagney and the cameo of ayn rand in galt's gulch
The fallout of the Frank O'Connor/Ayn Rand/Nathaniel Branden love triangle indicates she was a hypocrite She may have felt male dominance/female submission very strongly as a sexual kink, and encouraged her female fans to wreck their lives that way, but she didn't practice it
The evidence is in fact she was deeply uncomfortable in any relationship where she didn't ultimately have full control over the other person
So she thinks she's Dominique/Dagny, because she thinks Dagny is a hotter and sexier and cooler archetype for a woman to be But no she really is the John Galt of her own personal universe
