The idea that you need the recognition of an institution to concern yourself with literature is unnecessary.

Through the completion of a ritual on the spectrum of possible rituals?

>being able to see what you did not see it before
I have rehearsed not answers, but pretense of answers, anticipation of answers.
I have upholstered myself with anticipation, but no answers.
I am not referring to "seeing", which is simply an assemblage of colours,
but the intellectual relations I make between said colours as they metamorphose during my transmigration through present times.
I wonder about that sometimes: the notion of having answers and not simply anticipations.
I presume what I mean by this is not only the answer,
but the answer would consist of objective criteria for that which would be necessary to know.
The answer would then fall in to the category of an anticipation or X, Y, Z.
The answer would know itself as farce or "answer" or X, Y, Z, before it knew itself as the answer,
as in that which entails both knowledge of what is objectively to be known, to be experienced,
as well as the experience itself: "Nirwana", "Enlightenment", and is to be lost and found in moments and away from said moments.
We label "Epiphany" perhaps in a false way. There are epiphanies that are composed of different attributes.

Ayn Rand elucidates the inner thoughts of most people.
I would say, when someone who has just read Ayn Rand is criticised by other people for having read it and agreeing some what with it,
it come across as hypocritical,
when in fact it aligns itself with the inner thoughts of the majority of people living in the United States and Europe.
The most hypocritical is seen in the blairite neo-marxist right-centre that vote for leftist parties such as Labour which can be in fact crypto-victorian.

"Marxism" in inverted commas is known mostly in the United States and Europe in a sort of metropolitan watered down way that is in fact simply another facet of capitalism which someone wears as a means of appearing virtuous.

One thing I have noticed in those who have not actually read any thing she has written and are, in so far as I am aware "wearing the Marxist meme" is that when you mention something that is entirely without malice from her books,
such as for instance that property should be respected by the law,
most people of this sort will criticise the notion which has in fact been a basic premise of law. Not that this should not be questioned, but to nonchalantly brush it off is maniacal. Aside from that, these people fail to create axioms between personal and private property and until that is the case unfortunately the former needs to remain the status quo.

Bill O'Reilly is right that the hate speech laws in Britain are superfluous,
but he does create almost purposefully bad television.
I would say Bill Maher, Colbert and that jewish guy produce television of the same quality, however.

But do you not have any notion of self-improvement or sacrifice?
For what reason do you live but for that?
Are you aware of Faust?
For me Faust is more than Nietzsche,
my personal favorite adaptation of the legend being doctor Faustus, not Goethe's, contrary to popular choice, but Thomas Mann's, which I am currently re-reading.
