Philosophy shrugged: ignoring Ayn Rand won’t make her go away - Aeon

"Recently two humans, Thomas Thwaites and Charles Foster, independently hit upon the idea of trying to live as nonhuman animals, respectively a goat and a badger. They found the task challenging but also life-enhancing: Foster acquired the ability to navigate in the forest by scent alone, while Thwaites actually built prosthetic limbs with which he could navigate hillsides on all fours.

As the antislavery movement marks the beginning of modern democratic politics, it is appropriate that its most enduring image is one that asks for an act of sympathetic imagination that Adam Smith described - David M.
