The author has worked out the Ayn Rand influences that have caused her grief. Good for her.

I can only hope she works out those other, more toxic issues that have poisoned her relationship with her father.

As is the case with almost every other philosopher, ‘drinking from the well’, undiluted will only poison the drinker. Bit and pieces rather than the swallowing the ideas hook line and sinker are usually the best way to approach these ideas- not unlike a healthy religious experience. Blind fundamentalism has not done the world any favors.
