71. Love to
I would love nothing more than for Rand to be a largely forgotten figure, studied only as a minor curiosity in philosophical history. However, you have heard the expression that a person's life is merely one part of their existence? Rand may be dead but her theories are still considered gospel-truth by some of the most important economists and legislators in the world. One SCOTUS justice even requires his clerks to read her work. If, through the long chain of ideas, I can contribute in even a tiny way to slaughtering this particular sacred cow, I'll be more than happy with that.
