Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers.

Thus, the words “ I don’t give a shit”, as well as a “they can go do one, those shits”, plus a “they are in deep shit” Lola must have uttered about three times each during the conversation, without hiding the fact that she enjoyed it so much that it was like she kept them on stand-by in order to in-sert them on purpose as soon as the opportunity arose. This was something that incidentally also applied to anything in her crosshairs, no matter how slightly or completely irrelevant they were to the context.
And what was in her crosshairs? Whatever belonged to the euphemistically-called – disjointed and topsy-turvy as it was – camp that we were previously talking about. Which whilst, like Ancient Greece in relation to Rome, had been overwhelmed on the battlefield, it triumphed – purportedly – at an ideological, aesthetic, moralistic and symbolic one, governing over consciences. The vilification and belittlement of Ayn Rand’s heritage, the distortion of who she was and what she wanted, was nothing but one of the epiphenomena of its domin-
