Real men are not caring.
“[Ayn] Rand’s political philosophy remained amorphous in her early years. Aside from a revulsion at communism, her primary influence was Nietzsche, whose exaltation of the superior individual spoke to her personally. She wrote of one of the protagonists of her stories that ‘he does not understand, because he has no organ for understanding, the necessity, meaning, or importance of other people’; and she meant this as praise.”
