I think my goal is to specifically see what I can do to integrate both a collectivist and individualist sensibility in my philosophical view. I think to really have a complete philosophy, both of these things have to be considered: individuals cannot properly understand the consequences of actions taken at the personal level without understanding how those actions fit into and will be responded to by larger societal frameworks. At the same time, we cannot achieve collective benefit without considering how collective actions affect individuals.
I do not yet fully know what philosophical and political frameworks would best help me construct this philosophy, excepting that I think communist theory will undoubtedly be a big part of it, and it will most certainly be very different than Objectivism, excepting the respect for personal bodily autonomy.
Rand was not a feminist, in fact she decried feminism, but she was pro-bodily automomy and supported the right to abortion and in general the right of women to work the same types of jobs as men. I think the thing that Ayn Rand and other right libertarians crucially misunderstand is that a larger social dynamic like misogyny will prevent women from having individual bodily autonomy. They don't understand it because they imagine the world as it is as a meritocracy where only the best rise to the top, and so they imagine the preponderence of men in high social positions is due to the inherent superiority of those men rather than misogynistic favoring of men regardless of ability. They don't understand that women will simply not be allowed bodily automomy in a deeply misogynistic society, that individual bodily autonomy in general will never be allowed most individuals in a capitalist society. -
Die bizarre Ideenwelt der Silicon-Valley-Elite
In der ARD Audiothek gibt es eine Reihe Podcasts, die gut recherchiert und tiefgründig erklären, warum und mit welchen Zielen die Tech-Oligarchen gerade tun, was sie tun.

It's a bit odd but here's how it goes:
The #DCEU includes all #DC films made so far except for the #SnyderCut of the #JusticeLeague movie, AFAIK. The #SnyderVerse official includes #ManOfSteel, #BatmanVsSuperman, and the #SnyderCut of the #JusticeLeague, although I think the first #WonderWoman movie fits in there too. Where the #DCEU and #SnyderVerse diverge is with #JusticeLeague; in the #DCEU, the canon version of #JusticeLeague is the theatrical release, while in the #SnyderVerse, the canon version is the #SnyderCut.
AFAIK the later movies like #Shazam are far enough removed that they technically don't contradict the #SnyderVerse, but they're not technically within #ZachSnyder's vision for the storylines either.
At this point, the #SnyderVerse really is nothing more than a trilogy, with a suspected sequel trilogy with an integration into either the upcoming #Shazam movie, the upcoming #BlackAdam movie, or (most likely) the #TheFlash movie, which I expect will officially end the #SnyderVerse universe by causing it to collapse. But there were plans for two more #JusticeLeague films, although those are in limbo.
Now #Netflix has a deal with #ZachSnyder to make his own stuff, so that's cool; he'll most likely have better luck there since he's always been at odds with #WarnerBros executives and the #MSM, most likely due to his affinity for #AynRand's philosophy and inclusion of her philosophies in his works of art. Still, I'm a bit miffed because I don't plan on watching anymore content that's locked into a controlled ecosystem like #Netflix...his movies there will probably not come out on #DVD or anything
