Experiment: Ayn Rand, yay or nay?

What's sort of interesting about this is that with all the talk of 'decentralization' and the affinity that right-libertarians have for it, Mastodon seems to be attracting a crowd that's fundamentally left-leaning and pro-democracy, with some left-libertarian anti-state sentiment too.

Right now the poll on Twitter is a bit more 'yay' than on here, but that's a function of my followers, too. Will be interested to see where it ends up.

For my part, I think Rand is ridiculous.

@davetroy voting with the nay camp in this poll, at the advanced stage of 60 something, I confess that my views have changed on this over time. I now think Ayn Rand's books are important literature for exploring libertarian ideas, and letting people think through the consequences.
