The only thing that has changed is the advertising has become more

When I was in high school a girl I thought was sort of hot came in before 
the class began and wrote

“I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake 
of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”

Heady stuff, when you're 15. I eventually read the book and realized Rand 
needed a really good editor with a supply of blue pencils.

Much later I watched the three part series. I was disconcerting since the 
entire cast was different in each as the actors realized they were doing 
their careers irreparable harm and moved on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Usually_Begins_with_Ayn_Rand

was humorous, at least at the time. By the time I was out of high school 
the whole Rand/Branden/Objectivist clown show was falling apart. Her 
fiction was mildly interesting but when she tried her hand at philosophy 
she was way out of her field. I found it annoying she would never admit 
the influence of Striner and Nietzsche while parroting 'A is A' endlessly.
