She aint God. Objectivists do not hold her up as a supreme being. This aint scientology my friend. There aint no BS here.
So for all I care she could have humped a camel and annointed ground squirrels as the highest beings. She isn't the point. Her points are the point. 2 + 2 = 4 is the basis of objectivism.
She is inspiring though because she escaped communism and fell in love with liberty and freedom. I won't deny that that's inspiring to me.
