I second the entire post except for the Galt-worshiping. If good and evil worked like they do in D&D and were real ontological categories, Ayn Rand would be the highest dark priestess in recorded history.
Yvain isn’t endorsing Ayn Rand’s values, he’s just using her work to provide an example of a fictional character who is supposedly super-effective at least in part by being very rational.
