Honestly when Hockey or whoever said that I couldn't have agreed more. Yes the property market is too high for what is considered 'the lucky country'. But spending a fortune every day on breakfast in a hipster cafe isn't going to help you in anything but your image or whatever dumb aesthetic you aspire to.

Oh, so I guess my opinion is "original" enough now? Glad of that, at least.

Alright, so you admit it doesn't "big E exist." How does she go about proving that existence "has primacy" over consciousness? For all her screeching about Kant's evil, she never mounted a valid logical criticism against the idea of noumena or things in themselves other than "I don't like it!" As a result, she assumes what she ought to prove, namely, that the "existence exists" independently of us.

Yes she did. At root her deepest criticisms of the man was his A. reversal of perception and conception and B. being intentionally evasive and intention to erect an out for faith. "Obscurantist" in more modern terminology.
That first is what Kant rests his entirety on and without it he collapses, that second is Rand's warrant for thinking him evil. As she considers the ultimate base evil to be evasion. "ANot blindness but the refusal to see. Not ignorance, but the refusal to know." She holds that this evil is the cause of every other. No evil is more fundamental.
Her avenger is that literally all our currently discovered scientific facts since Kant's time mesh and cross-confirm. I'd like to take a scanning-tunneling microscope back in time to Kant and laugh in his face.
