On Privacy Lies

I’ve been doing some fascinating historical digging on Ayn Rand’s view of ‘privacy lies’ today. Her view, in contrast to that of Leonard Peikoff, was that such lies are wrong, and often downright vicious. And she’s right! … Hopefully I’ll have the time to put together a blog post on this topic sometime in the next week or two.
