One Book To Rule Them All: Everything You Believe Is Wrong

Everything You Believe Is Wrong will drop on 1 December. Three short weeks.

Pre-order it, in paperback or e-book forms, now: Amazon paperback, Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble, Walmart (not quite honest about release date). Others (like Alibris) will have it after it is released.

This post is just a teaser. More to come soon about this magnificent new work of art...

Book Description:

If you are an Expert, professional, bureaucrat, teacher, professor, Democrat or Republican, liberal, progressive or conservative, consider yourself in any way in the educated classes, the odds are high that everything you believe is wrong.

Not everything. Not simple things. Only the most important things. If you are in the majority, then a great deal of what you hold true about the world and of life is false.

Here is a small sample of things that majority of educated believe are false, but which are instead true: Science cannot answer every question put to it; It is not always right to correct a wrong; There is no wisdom in crowds; A consensus among elite academics does not prove the belief of the elite academics is true; That you are offended is irrelevant to whether a proposition is true or false; Defining yourself as your sexual desire is nonsensical; Voting does not make the majority position right and the minority position wrong; Voting is a leading cause of discord; Democracy is rarely to be desired; You cannot choose to believe you do not have free will; God exists.

These are only some of the ideas and arguments explored in this book. The majority, and that means likely you, are wrong about all of them. This is no idle claim. It will be proved chapter by chapter.

Every bad or invalid or unsound argument contains a fallacy or mistake in thinking. Nobody knows the complete list of ways thought can go wrong, and it has even been surmised such a list is endless. History supports this contention. There is ample reason to believe the human race is congenitally insane.

Some mistakes are more common than others. Every age has its own favorite forays into fiction, driven by fashion, fad, and fantasy, all of which are enforced by the culture's self-appointed Watchers. The balance of truth versus error shifts in time, yet the current age is more eager than average to ferret away any shiny object it finds and call it precious.

Fallacies therefore have tremendous inertia. Some mental misconstructions are permanent fixtures. I have evocative and memorable nicknames, at least for speakers of English, of the most popular and important fallacies of our day. We step through each, showing how it is false.

Here are just a few of our age's favorite fallacies: Controversial Fallacy, Non-Fallacy Fallacy, Appeal to Non-Authority, So Yer's Old Man, Bluff & Bluster Fallacy, You Bigot Fallacy, Hate Speech Fallacy, Bureaucrat Fallacy, One True Spartacus Fallacy, Wisdom of Crowds Fallacy, I Can't See Another

Way Fallacy; many, many others, including the ever-popular Meta Fallacy. This is a fallacy that says a thing is true because it is a fallacy. Strange as it seems, it is most convincing.

Back Cover:

If you are in the Expert credentialed hyper-educated class, you won't have the guts to read this book. You will have been told everything in it is false. You will believe this because you were told to believe. You will call your blind belief rational. You will say your credentials are proof of this rationality. You will congratulate yourself for your superiority.

And everything you believe will continue to be wrong.

Author Description:

William M. Briggs was born in Detroit at the height of its majesty. When he left, it went into the crapper. Coincidence?

He later entered the Air Force and became Staff Sergeant Briggs. When he took off his stripes, the Soviet Union crumbled. Coincidence?

He went to university and earned many letters after his name which wow the unthinking. After he graduated, they installed a Dean for Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Coincidence?

He lived for many years on the isle of Manhattan during it brightest years. When he fled, the city's Mayor instituted Vaccine Passports. Coincidence?

Finally, he wrote this penetrating book. After you close it covers, you, dear reader, will find that you are based.

Coincidence?

Price:

It's $20 for the paperback, and $12 for the ebook.

It may help to know that price cannot drop much lower, as I get $1.90 per copy.
