strangers bearing champange This is a tumblelog -- like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts of the things I like. Scroll down a bit to start browsing.


We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we
started and know the place for the first time.

Rand’s particular intellectual contribution, the thing that makes her so popular and so American, is the way she managed to mass market elitism — to convince so many people, especially young people, that they could be geniuses without being in any concrete way distinguished. Or, rather, that they could distinguish themselves by the ardor of their commitment to Rand’s teaching. The very form of her novels makes the same point: they are as cartoonish and sexed-up as any best seller, yet they are constantly suggesting that the reader who appreciates them is one of the elect.

I’ve always hated her. Her and Palahniuk.
