everything you read you should take with a grain of salt. Ayn Rand, Nietzsche, everyone. I don't subscribe to many of Rand's ideas, but she does present good ones and some very uplifting ones as well. she also has an interesting writing style and even if her characters are shallow as hell mostly, they are characterized and interact in a very interesting way lots (not the rape though (rand had a fetish, heh)). But yeah, she basically is the 20th century Nietzsche, so i tihnk you might dig at least some of what she says. ATlas Shrugged is her best novel, The Fountainhead is pretty cool too, and has a lot of surprisingly funny parts. Although in all of her books, the last chapter is always godawful. But yeah, i support her anti-communism too. XP it is a good idea in theory, equality for everyone, everything is nice, blah blah blah, but impossible to implement or really use at all and too easy for despots and tyrants to take over and blah blah blah.

in a way sometimes the message can be overlooked, i find, if there is a deep emotional portion to what's happening. like, let's say Type O Negative's Slow, Deep And Hard-- all the lyrics are completely sexist and sometimes unintentionally hilarious rants mostly because the lead singer just broke up with a longtime girlfriend... but the music is all performed with a great amount of emotional conviction and intensity and ingenuity. i generally find that someone has to be genuine and sincere in what they're doing in order to make something very original, too. then again, i also relate simple truths and pragmatic realism and emotional complexity as being original and philosophical depth myself... like, Bruce Springsteen with music or Gary Winnegrand with photography or John Cassavetes with film. highly original and yet don't have some giant amount of intellectual depth, so to speak, but have sincerity and emotional complexity and conviction.

sincerity is its own moral purpose, it's expressing you. that's life-affirming and idealogically interesting and revealing enough.

everyone misspells Nietzqwdftkjmnbpsche.
