General Discussion

She admired Hickman who abducted, held for ransome and decapitated a young girl. Hickman then threw the head at the father after he stole the ransome from the father. This is the monster Ayn Rand modeled one of her heroes after.

She wrote about Hickman, after he was arrested for the murdered of a 12 year old girl; "Other people do not exist for him, and he does not see why they should," she wrote, gushing that Hickman had "no regard whatsoever for all that society holds sacred, and with a consciousness all his own. He has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel 'other people.'"

Good description of the feelings of a sociopath and Trump. Because of this lack of understanding for other people, they also can never feel love. She is giving away some of her own psychology when she describes Hickman.
