My intuition tells me that in Ra's time the veil was less thick. If you think about it, Ra lived its 3rd density 2.6 billion years ago. We don't really know when the veil was instituted. It could've been just barely 5 billion years before Ra's third density. And if you think about it, it seems to makes sense that the various Logoses would at first start with a thin veil to sort of play around and see what at level the thickness of it should be. And also, my intuition tells me that a thicker veil as time progresses is optimal. Of course, not at the beginning. But over the course of the universe's span of time.
About Ayn Rand, that's where I disagree with you and Gemini Wolf. I don't think that a thick veil necessarily makes for more STS type activity. I think that it makes it less obvious as to what the Choice (if any is even perceptible with such a thick veil) should be. I think that, if anything, it makes for a rougher 3rd density experience, but not because of STS. It makes life on 3rd density more vivid, more physically entrancing, and makes for less of an ability to see past the physical and into the "spiritual."
That's why I think that if any entity is able to see through the jungle of 3rd density experience in despite of such a thick veil, it makes their Choice much more meaningful in the long run. It would basically be like going through a Navy Seal boot camp. The entity has been tried and tested.
OK, I see one place our thinking diverges. I don't really see the veil as being a literal real-as-in-bricks thing. I see it as being more fluid and individualistic. Sort of, every person is veiled, but the thickness of the veil will vary from person to person depending on upbringing, biases, etc. That's why I said Rand probably made the veil thicker for those that bought into her ideologies. She introduced new distortions, which thickened the veil for those who believed them, but would have had little effect on those who did not.
The mediasphere or the zeitgeist, so to speak, would certainly play a part in the thickness as well, since that would determine the biases of a large number of people at once. But I still tend to think the "thickness" would be relative to individuals rather than absolute to the species/planet.
