My goal in this book is to explore the impact of nihilism in society. As I mentioned above, nihilism is the desire to destroy values, and through this process, to destroy civilization. This is no small matter because nihilism seeks to impact all lives currently benefiting from advanced civilization. Nihilism centers around one concept: the desire to destroy human valuing. Today, nihilists are out in force. They own the media, entertainment, politics, education, publication and the Internet. There are virtually no voices against them and those few who fight them are locked out. Twitter "...

This book analyzes Human Sacrifice and its modern form Altruism providing new insight into the most deadly and evil idea ever propagated upon mankind. The book argues clearly that altruism is the cause of most man-made catastrophes and results in harm to the individual and destruction of civil society.The book also argues that the best way forward for man is to reject the concepts of altruism and collectivism and replace them with individualism and individual rights.

A logical fallacy, on the other hand, is a faulty thought process that violates a rule of proper thinking. A rule of proper thinking is a rule defined by logicians through discovery of logical truths and how to frame good arguments. Correct arguments are defined as proper generalized expressions that define logical truths or knowledge. With a logical fallacy, either the contrary or the contradictory of the logical argument is said to be true. In effect, a rule of logical reasoning addresses all of the common modes of valid argument while the faulty argument contradicts them. This book ...

Calming the mind and quiet thinking are two new premises of rational meditation. This guide to rational thinking takes on mysticism, mindfulness and eastern religious influences by explaining how they do not help men live by means of reason and rational thinking. Mindfulness, in particular, is the meditation system of the left. The author shows how meditation can be done without mysticism, leftist philosophy and the denigration of the individual. Rational Meditation is not about collective joining with groups of like-minded people (Plato) and/or becoming Hephaistos (Freud and Jung). It is ...

Is it possible that the problems in the world are not caused by capitalism and rich people? Is it possible that anti-capitalism and anti-reason philosophies are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes designed to convince people to give up everything they have honestly earned and take it away from them? Is it possible they are caused by the re-distribution of capital to wasteful uses and the consequent destruction of jobs and affluence? Additionally, after spending millions of dollars to fix the economy or the environment, altruists will forget to ask if the problem is fixed. If they hear that ...

The materials in this document are intended for counselors who are seeking new tools and a new understanding of addiction without the almost obligatory religious perspective. In fact, this new perspective is secular – without religion – and provides some interesting insights for counselors dealing with patients who need that understanding. This document is the counselor’s companion document to the Patient version of this story entitle “The World’s First Drunk”. It contains a quiz for the patient and some talking points for group and individual discussion with the patient. The ...

Addiction is only possible to a person who is in denial of his own problems and who needs an “excuse” for escaping from his anxiety. It is a self-deception that exacerbates an individual’s problems by offering short-term pleasure as a solution for long-term anxiety. Yet, without self-deception, addiction would not be possible. You can go through scientific study after scientific study and none of them deal with the fact that any consumption item or activity that produces pleasure (but not nourishment) requires an excuse (or an argument) for its intake. In truth, most people eat way ...

This fictional work assumes that Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his Berlin bunker toward the end of World War II, but instead, was able to survive and escape to South America. This work presents the author’s reflection of the meaning of Nazism and fascism and attempts to extract that meaning from Hitler’s life and final words.

The advocates of socialism and communism assume, on principle, that the individual belongs to the state and the state can do whatever it wants to him. This premise, being the singular operative premise of communism and socialism, makes their moral natures and actions so similar that they can be understood solely on this basis. Contrast coercive governments with capitalist systems based upon the individual, and you will understand why communism and socialism oppose capitalism. The proponents of these coercive systems do not want the people to know that force and capitalism are opposites. In ...

This theatrical play is based upon poems from Mr. Villegas's book Poetic Prose and Poetry. Some of the poems have been slightly altered to reflect the internal story of the play. The title poem is about the citizen journalist and how he has changed the world through his computer.

This book is designed as a “shorter” explanation of the ideas presented in my larger book, “Behind the Ritual Mask” which seeks to define fundamental principles of religion. I’m hoping this book will serve as a primer for the original book and spur an interest in reading it. The following contains excerpts from the original Forward of the book.When an entrenched, anti-reason culture is presented with new ideas that challenge its fundamental premises, it relies on the power of what is taken as knowledge in the culture in order to defend itself. Indeed, when corrupt ideas are ...

The professors at Harvard and Princeton don’t want you to know about the worst ideas in history. This is because they have been pawning these ideas off as true and profound. They have been using them to deceive and manipulate us for centuries. Yet, ideas of such monumental import should be known to everyone so society could make informed decisions about the future. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that the most destructive ideas in history have been barely noticed for generations. In fact, most college professors foster them, promote them and work according to their principles. ...

The Short Play Adam Reborn has been joined by a short story originally entitled "The Garden" which started over 40 years ago as the precursor to the Play. This story has been updated and refurbished to give it a consistent new theme that joins the two works and gives a fresh perspective on the nature of man and the glory of human accomplishment. The result is a tribute to man's greatness and his unending pursuit of values.

This is the second edition of this groundbreaking book. The enemy of individual rights today is a group I call the Alinsky Radicals. They are associated, philosophically and politically, with the communists and fascists of the past. They are not your father’s liberals. In this book, I provide the intellectual ammunition you need to eradicate these radicals from society. First, we’ll identify the context that enabled these parasites to emerge. Then we’ll analyze the fundamental principle in Hegel’s philosophy and show that it is untrue and unworkable. We’ll also examine their other...

Jonny Payne is an Indiana teenager who has just discovered the philosophy of Ayn Rand and his parents are displeased. They take him to a priest and a psychologist, but his only question is "What is the price of independence? Jonny struggles to grow intellectually while confronted by the disapproval of his parents and peers. As he grows, he learns that the battle for individuality is the battle of life.

One of the most important goals for any person is to establish intellectual independence. Intellectual independence is the road to “life” independence, which is the ability to earn your own way without help from others. Typically, this goal is a characteristic of the American individualist compared to his European cousins who can barely conceive of such a “predatory” mindset. Needless to say, it is also the opposite of the collectivist mindset that is becoming more common on the scene in America. This book teaches self-reliance and respect for the self as opposed to dependence and ...

You have a yearning, a passion for some form of the good. What is it? You only know that you are confused, unclear, unable to decide just who you are and what you want. You look around and see the people. You wonder what makes them move each day? You notice some of them act as if they don’t care what happens next, they are dressed differently and seem not to care what they look like or how people react to them. Others move briskly bent on a purpose, concerned only about what they are about. People walk by them; they don’t even notice. They just keep to their path and you wonder where ...

Many people think the best way to make a difference in society is to do charitable things for others. This book argues that there is another aspect of altruism (sacrifice for the sake of society) that connects it to collectivism, human sacrifice, re-distribution, and mass murder. All socialist systems, including communism, and welfare-statism, are based upon altruism (taking from the productive and giving to the poor). The question then, for altruism, is not about how many people benefit but, rather, how many people are needlessly exploited? Additionally important, is not whether altruism ...

This booklet is the companion workbook to my book Rational Meditation. It utilizes the various exercises described in the original book to assist you in contemplation or meditation and it provides space for written input by the reader through their Kindle Reader. The idea is to take the sections that involve written input and contemplation and to collect them into one practical “place” that the individual can use as he meditates on these matters. I have tried to supplement the book chapters where necessary in the original book.
