Thanks for the thoughtful and intelligent response. I do believe you, including a lack of empathy. I have taught “Anthem” when studying Transcendentalism and Emersonian “Self Reliance.” It’s a powerful allegory. My satire tries to poke fun at those who I have seen appropriated Rand — and become a type of “thought collective” or worse, A “Party” that Rand ranted about. Like being a RINO — Republican In Name Only. Or even a DINO. lol. Cheers, man. Keep up the fight for the Individual — the one who can bring light to others who then can their own light.
