The more this guy talks, the more he proves Ayn Rand's point. How do you bring down a Howard Roark? By lifting up a Peter Keating. How do you bring down an Ayn Rand? By lifting up a David Bentley Hart.

By the way, TCE, I love your use of the word "vagueries." I initially read it as "vagaries," but I suppose that word applies, too.

Hart is the "parasite" of which Roark speaks... deep down he knows it...

way to wrap that guy up, LS.

Harts problem with Roark is that Roark doesn't kneel and thank the heavens/God/grace or whatever else for what he has achieved in life and for the great man he has become. How dare he take credit for himself...he owes that credit to a higher power. bla bla bla. That's what I got out of this bunk anyway. (And I think Hart would like Dominique, or someone like her...anyone perhaps, to touch his tie and say words like "admire" and "submission". Poor sap.)
