Today on MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) Garrison Keillor paid a brief tribute to Ayn Rand, it being her birthday. His description of her philosophy was not entirely clear, but I was immensely excited to here her name on the radio by chance, and equally shocked by it, Garrison Keillor being an ardent Liberal. I find it encouraging that she is now respected enough that her name can be mentioned without inciting a torch and pitchfork yeilding mob.
…Which reminds me of a video I recently watched. It is a panel discussion with four Objectivist intellectuals discussing the Fountainhead’s influence on today’s culture. The panel includes Harry Binswanger, Edwin Locke, and Yaron Brook.
