Well. I was red-pilled by Robert Anton Wilson. In general, other people were red-pilled by Ayn Rand. This was, as far as modern people are concerned, "the old days". Have you read either? I only read the former, respect the ideas of the latter based on her disciples. If I had enough time, I would read everything. Stefan Molyneux, seems to been an Ayn Rand disciple, and I adore him. Robert, told the story, before he died, of being "called before the throne" of Ayn. He had read her intensely. So had his best friends. Including his insane friend Kerry Thornley. He gently accused her of being dogmatic. According to his story, she got mad and told him to leave. So.. what then? The SJW feelers stuff, think after everything is worth a hearing, even if very slight. but now, it's ALL gone so far that no one will give a gentle hearing to it. Even me. They, the SJWs are beyond mad.....

Never read the stuff.

Common sense, courtesy, manners and just listening to fellow humans was enough for me. Their base ideas are good but when you counter they go ape shit and that was what red pulled me.

I should have watched the Rand movie when it was Netflix ...

I have yet to watch the "rand movie" as you say. It's on my list.... but... your first statement is what we all need. I will spread it. I hope you continue to also. I was mostly looking for the right words to express it in this place.


Edit: One upvoat, I'd give a hundred or more if I could. Thank you.
