Most overrated thinker of the 20th century. Just horrid.

Bad writing, so it's difficult to even grasp the thinking. One can do far better with, for example, Hayek or von Mises.

I seriously couldn't get through more than ten pages of any of her novels.

It's a big world. Millions and millions of people hold appalling beliefs and millions and millions of people are open to terrible ideas.

I thought it was hilarious that the first installment of the movie series of AS was classified as science fiction.
