@_Billy_Beck_ I saw just "No one -- Objectivist or otherw..." in my phone's notifications, and fucking *knew* this was going to be about Danneskjรถld.

@_Billy_Beck_ Nice. I got there consciously when I was 9 or 10 (as consciously as a 9 or 10-year-old can), but who's counting, right? ๐ (Plus I didn't have a religious family upbringing โ school vaguely tried to make us religious with their morning assemblies but it was too little too late)
