My strategy for remembering names is to mentally allocate one time to awkwardly ask them what their name is again, and then I find that the awkwardness of the second time helps me remember their name.
I will sometimes say their name 7 times rapidly after they tell me. I will do this in front of them in the middle of the conversation. Its ridiculous, and it tends to work.
Your great philosopher was not interested in learning. According to Brian Doherty, 'Rand was not erudite; most of her education in contemporary philosophy came from things she was told by philosopher friends, like Peikoff or John Hospers (before he was banished.) Modern culture, except for her beloved detective and adventure novels, drove her to fits. She didn’t read much, and most of what she knew about the world in the last decades of her life came from the New York Times. Her library, Hessen recalls, consisted largely of “books autographed and sent to her from other Random House authors, like Dr. Seuss or whatever, and books from research done in connection with railroads or architecture or steel. She never went to bookstores."' And this despite the stereotype that Jewish immigrants would read voraciously, like the characters in Chaim Potok's novel, _The Chosen_ .

Yes, but why are you here?
Was not interested in learning? - I don't think you have read much of her works.
