I first experienced Rand listening to “Atlas Shrugged” audiobook, learned of Objectivism from BB via a Boolean query on a Mac classic using a 28.8 modem, found a study group and attended the following Thursday. Immersed myself books, study group, seminars, conferences and went on a “once in a lifetime” Greek Island Cruise in ‘97 with fellow students and the scholars of the time. Epic. The world has never looked the same for I see it as it is rather than how others wish I did. I feel as though Objectivism is akin to “Norton Utilities” for your mind.
