Honestly, it's a little bit funny that the man known most for being a loud asshole is also known for having the thinnest skin on twitter dot com.

Can't believe I'd started to develop such fondness for some of his core ideas only to find out he can't take the slightest bit of criticism... he also sounds more like a crackpot the more he argues his "mathematical" foundations.

All his stuff gives readers not just permission but encouragement to be an arrogant asshole. It’s like Ayn Rand with some math. I loved his stuff in my early twenties.

I don't think I was aware of his stuff until my mid-30s. I recognized his asshole-nature early on, and his tendency to resort to mathematical jargon-laden snow jobs of low substance, but thought there was something to the "optionality" notion.

Got over Ayn Rand early... maybe junior high school age. It was one of those things that made me think "wow, maybe my whole say of thinking change" and something inside just clicked and made me realize "but if what she says is true everything is terrible."

I didn’t read her until late college. Wonder if I did earlier though...

My timing was probably good. The folks that I know who got exposed to her essays and read them fairly uncritically as adults often went Full Rand. In Jr. High School there was still time to examine other value systems.
