Press Release – Robert X. George Publishes New Book on Conspiracy Theories, Objectivism, and the Real Conspiracy

Indianapolis, IN – A new book by Robert X. George covers conspiracy theories, real conspiracies and the position of Objectivism on common conspiracies today.

Robert X. George writes the following about theories: “A theory is a formal expression of a set of conclusions that have not been validated by the scientific method. There are basically two types of theories, one that is expressed as “theoretical” or not yet fully validated, and the other is called “pseudo-scientific” and comprised of what are called “bold leaps” concocted out of non sequiturs. What makes a pseudo-scientific theory problematic is that it is founded upon faulty reasoning and logical fallacies.

“Theoretical bold leaps (pseudo-scientific) are usually arbitrary and disconnected from reality. They generally lack scientific rigor, are largely engaged by uneducated people who don’t understand how a formal process of validation should proceed. This book explores the world of conspiracy theories, Objectivism's position on them and the real conspiracy that is besetting our nation.”

Press Release – Villegas Publishes New Book Debunking Effective Altruism

Indianapolis, IN – A new book seeks to expose the fallacy of Effective Altruism. The book, titled “Effective Altruism – Same Old Altruism” presents a new perspective on morality that is consuming political society.

Villegas writes about altruism: “Most of us have heard the cliché: ‘Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss’. The same can be said about Peter Singer’s effective altruism: ‘Meet effective altruism, same as the old altruism’. Indeed, the problem with the new effective altruism is that it is altruism, nonetheless, and it is just as ineffective as the traditional altruist moral perspective. This is because the fundamentals of effective altruism are the same as the fundamentals of primordial human sacrifice that began with the decimation of a scapegoat.”

Today’s effective altruists, as if seeming to realize that the old altruism has never been effective, are now offering what they deem to be a “more competent” version of the old altruism that is different, new, and workable. The old altruism is dead; they think. Now it is time for something devastatingly new that operates according to reason and logic.

Villegas declares this last to be propaganda, a last-ditch effort to rescue altruism from coming oblivion. Altruism can never be made effective (or logical) because it always requires the destruction of a scapegoat, and this fact has always (and will always) make altruism impractical. The true owners of value don’t like being scapegoated.

Robert Villegas is an American writer and independent philosopher with a strong focus on the practical consequences of modern ideas. He offers both a critical discussion of modern philosophy as well as practical solutions to help solve problems associated with pragmatism and indeterminacy. His work stands on its own.
