Biography: My name is Persephone. My father was a teacher of Greek Mythology, and he named me. I have always loved my name, as I loved my father, whose teaching made him more than a father, more than a parent. The year that he died of cancer, when I was 17, I found a book called The Fountainhead, annotated heavily in my father’s heavy handed script. In it I found the consolation for my grief, and a name for the philosophy taught to me by my father. Though he hated labels, and scorned modern philosophy, his beliefs mirrored that of Objectivism.

After that day, when I turned the last page of The Fountainhead, I read every fiction work by Ayn Rand that I could get my hand on. But I refused to look at a picture of her, or to read about her, for I knew from long experience that artists are rarely worthy of their work. When I turned 18, I left home. Before I left, my brother gave me his copy of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, and made me promise to read it. I promised, and he left it at that. The day I turned 20, I finally opened it and began to read, and read, and read some more. Then I began to read everything I could about Ayn Rand, and Objectivism. Now, at 22, I am still reading, and adapting. I still would not call myself a pure Objectivist, but I am very close.

I am now studying for a duo-major in Biology and Philosophy. I originally was pursuing a duo-major in Physics and Philosophy, but the change, I think, reflects my fundamental shift from pure Objectivism. I am, above everything else, interested in listening, and watching.
