Hey now, you're missing his most important qualification: he wrote a laughably bad ~~objectivist~~ edit: rationalist harry potter fanfiction!

Rationalist. Objectivist is Ayn Rand which this isn't quite.

You are correct, but I hope you can understand how I got those confused lol.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Of course, easy mistake to make.
