Now, the idea that concepts for things which are not real, or not apparently real, or we currently are quite sure they are not real (gods, devils, dragons) are somehow "invalid concepts" is, as Dr Peikoff would exclaim, fantastic They are, in fact, valid for literature, mythology, and games, and perhaps they will even become real in some ways in the future with the development of superintelligence and artificial life!brBlunders like this is why philosophers generally - and justly - discredit objectivism

"the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences" shows how the concepts of mathematics can be applied to the real world with great utility Why should I treat objectivism as even remotely on solid grounding if it doesn't have anything similar? Why is objectivism only good for making people justified, and not doing anything practical?

It is goal of mathematics to build internally consistent concepts which are divorced from any context to the reality as much as possible So mathematics is invalid unless it is applied by your episetmology?
