I finally feel vindicated in my pursuit and valuation of individual intelligence and reason over, well, what most people value in life.
I’ve spent the day getting almost to the end of Atlas Shrugged and haven’t spent my time so usefully in quite some time. I contrast this with the drunken loutish behaviour of the sunburnt sports fans wandering the streets and the feeling of intellectual isolation reemerges. Or should I say the recognition of intellectual distinction?
I’m going to settle in to Babylon AD now, so I’ll write more later when I desire to.
