If everyone realises that pjclarke is just a googlebot with no mind of his own, then they won't be tempted to waste time trawling through his AGW threads. It's a public service
So what would be the lie?
It is demonstrably the case that Rand, in her Twenties, made admiring journal entries about William Hickman, a psychopathic child-killer:
'a brilliant, unusual, exceptional boy turned into a purposeless monster. By whom? By what? Is it not by that very society that is now yelling so virtuously in its role of innocent victim? He had a brilliant mind, a romantic, adventurous, impatient soul and a straight, uncompromising, proud character. What had society to offer him? A wretched, insane family as the ideal home, a Y.M.C.A. club as social honor, and a bank-page job as ambition and career...'
If he had any desires and ambitions -- what was the way before him? A long, slow, soul-eating, heart-wrecking toil and struggle; the degrading, ignoble road of silent pain and loud compromises....
"A strong man can eventually trample society under his feet. That boy was not strong enough. But is that his crime? Is it his crime that he was too impatient, fiery and proud to go that slow way? That he was not able to serve, when he felt worthy to rule; to obey, when he wanted to command?
And I am not the only one to have noticed that Rand's fictional heroes tend to demonstrate many of the traits identified by David Hare as indicating a psychopathic personality.
Where's the untruth? I assume you read all eight parts of 'Susan of Texas's demolition of the book before making the accusation...?
Not sure what is menat by 'my' AGW threads, I can't have started more than a handful and I am always grateful to anyone who points out errors of fact or logic in anything I write. Unsupported assertions, not so much.Last edited by pjclarke; 23 July 2014, 12:26.My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

Originally posted by pjclarke View PostYeah, cheers. But you're right, it would be hard to invent a better topic on which to waste time on the interweb. Huge stakes (maybe), we won't know the truth for decades, if ever, a huge mass of evidence, far more than most laymen could assimilate in their spare time, from which to cherry-pick factoids, columnists willing to make stuff up....
