Along with other fascinating comments, in this interview with Tom Snyder, Rand revises the age she discovered her philosophy of Objectivism to the age of a mere 2&1/2 years old - a big downgrade from the previous 12-ish she claims elsewhere.
(at 8:08)Tom Snyder: When did you discover, or think up, or allow Objectivism to become your philosophy?This must surely be one of Rand's most bizarre, self-mythologising claims ever - and there's a fair bit of competition for that honour.
Rand: From the time that I remember myself which was two and a half, the first incident I can remember in my life I was two and a half...and from that time on the the present I never changed my convictions - only at two and a half I didn't know as much as I know now, but the fundamental approach was the same. I've never had to change.
