Nietzsche’s advice for any ambitious thinker making a genuine life:
* On those who are—years later—still students of Objectivism. “One repays a teacher badly if one remains nothing but a pupil.”
* On those who remain followers after having learned a thinker’s key principles: “Now I bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when you have all denied me will I return to you.”
