Those of you who don't read alt.postmodern or alt.society.anarchy (all?) may not have seen this. The idea of an academia where Ayn Rand is at last taken seriously is indeed, well, postmodern. Post-something, anyway. Camille leads the charge! (For a little while, anyway.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of decadence and pseudo-this-and-that, I thought this article was interesting. It appeared in alt.society.anarchy, posted by jaulisi at mail.idt.net and titled "The Heirs of Ayn Rand." (Message-ID: <jaulisi-1608992040140001 at ppp-5.ts-1-bay.nyc.idt.net>) Possibly it's a copy of a copy....

Can the Objectivists save their guru from the Professors they despise?
