Conspiracy Theories, Objectivism, and the Real Conspiracy

By: Robert X George

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

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” that is comprised of what are called “bold leaps” concocted by means of non sequiturs. What makes a pseudo-scientific theory problematic is the fact 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 conspiracy theories and the real conspiracy that is besetting our nation.
