Tim Pool -- More Randian Than Many Objectivists Tim Pool is a leftie who was smack dab in the middle of Occupy Wall Street.

Tim Pool is one of the top people I look at. This is relative -

Some comics are appraised and worth thousands to millions of dollars because -
This test has been designed to assess your comprehension of Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (ITOE) [Expanded Second Edition, April 1990]. Questions have been formed from the Introduction, Chapters 1-8, and the Summary. It is not intended to be an open book test. There are 100 questions – each is worth 1 point. This test can be taken by students before and after reading ITOE (as a pre and/or post-test). Only reading Ayn Rand’s fictional work will not be sufficient preparation to excel on this test. This assessment can help students of Objectivism and study-group organizers determine th
