Writer.  Came up with objectivisim, which basically says that being
totally logical is good.  And that being selfish is perfectly logical.

Ultra-libertarian type, basically.  Beloved of those people who are
smarter than those around them and haven't actually studied the real
world very much.  (i.e. students and smart teenagers in my experience)
