Well it’s kind of the same with Rand. That’s their thing, they read these books as preteens and the nuance is lost on them

I thought RAND was just a contraction of Research And Development?

  • I suppose this is about Ayn Rand. I haven't read her books, but from what I hear they aren't very nuanced though.

    • Her books are mostly about genius caring people being held back from their plan of helping humanity into a golden age by more stupid evil people and regulation and so on.

In the case of Ayn Rand, it is questionable whether there's nuance to be found.
