What? I read it. I’m done.

She was a talentless hypocritical hack that couldn’t think straight. A real capitalists woman

One (You) was enough.
What impact did it have on your life ?

And I'm laughing at
>May unceasing darkness consume her soul and pain unfathonamable afflict her for all time.

Not him but I share that opinion. Atlas contains some of the most philosophically potent and developed iconoclasm to the state ever penned in fiction. One loses the top tier villian in The Fountainhead but gains a more interesting story and better speeches.

It's been funny to watch so many people argue about Guénon and let yourselves get into so many arguments about him without really understanding him. Guénon's works are largely just an indirect commentary on the works of Ibn Arabi and Adi Shankara, in a similar way to how Evola is largely just an indirect commentary on and a response to Guénon. You'll never fully understand what exactly Guénon means and why he writes all the stuff that he does unless you read at least few thousand pages of writing from both of these thinkers. It seems like the the vast majority of people who read Guénon don't so this which IMO is why so many people seem to become befuddled or angry after reading Guénon's writings and why there are so many ad hominem arguments thrown at him.I laugh every time I see people write stuff like "w-well uh he never fully explained intellectual intuition" or "he never solidly proved his ideas using logic according to my degenerated and emasculated empiricism"; that's besides the point!, Guénon was not writing to convince people who didn't agree with him, he couldn't care less about those people. His writing is aimed at fellow autodidacts who already read a huge amount of esoteric/metaphysics and who will actually read much the eastern thinkers he references. When you read Ibn Arabi and Shankara they literally take you by the hand and walk you through all the stages of understanding of all the stuff that Guénon explains and mentions in passing; it immediately becomes apparent once you read enough of them why exactly Guénon wrote what he did, many of the ideas that people consider to be his unique idea actually already appear in the works of these two thinkers where they are explained in even more depth than Guénon's treatment of them. I see many people complain or have criticisms of Guénon that he never demonstrates this eastern 'divine intellect' etc or 'metaphysical realization', that's because it's only something that very bright and motivated people can understand if they have the willpower and power of comprehension required to read through large amounts of both Ibn Arabi and Shankara; two sages who evade comprehension by the intellectually-dogmatic and dull-minded!

Oh, somehow I missed that part.

What impact did the Bible have on me?
It, or rather my mother, had me fooled for a terrible number of years. I found my way out to adulthood. I felt an existential dread during the agnostic period, always in denial, but it cleared like a storm once I let it go. Making my own purpose in life has been a strange and wonderful experience. As dull or stressful or dismal life around me seems, I am at peace. Nothing is certain, for me or the world in general, but I am calm, ataraxic.
How are you?

Why would we ever take a post of your's seriously with the discord shill group name from which we can resonably guess you spend a good amount of time jerking off your hateboners for Rand? You Butterfaggots have made your sundry agendas known and clear. Your safe reddit hatred of Rand is too formulaic to take seriously anymore, even those of us that who don't care about Rand too much find your faggotry tiresome.

Went through my periodic strain of bad days, barely but I did.
I'm trying to improve myself, looking forward to better days.
Have a good one if it's really you

Let's assume she was detestable and your insults not misdirections and exaggerations. Ok.
The personal flaws of a philosopher does not a philosophy disprove.
No human being who talks the way about tapdancing she did in the Romantic Manifesto could be worth hating in totality.
