Last night, I was thinking about getting back into my I read project. But I decided I wasn't in the mood for nonsense.

Then I fell asleep, and dreamt that the ghost of gave me a copy of by (an anti-Co$ )

I really, really hope that was just my subconscious; I don't want to be haunted by L. Ron or his ... even if he/they are sorry the whole thing. Fuck 'em.

promises the reader that is:

1) "an organized science of thought"

2) which "contains a therapeutic technique ... with assurance of complete cure"

3) that "produces a condition of ability and rationality" and gives a complete insight into the full potentialities of the mind"

then makes some pretty strong claims that imply that Dianetics is the Universal Theory of Science of the Mind, but provides no evidence of any research.

Page 3, "How to Read this Book" on using simple language to convey ideas:

" 'Basic Language' has been used, much of the nomenclature is colloquial; the pedantic has not only been employed, it has also been ignored."

That's an awful lot of $2 words for that particular topic.

I'm considering doing an "I so you don't have to" thread, so I've started the first chapter.

Y'all.

I've listened to SO MANY interviews & watched SO MUCH trash that I'm "hearing" it in his voice & his cadence.

I've gotten through the forward and whatnots, and I am only only page 3 of the book. I don't know if I can do this.

Was curious about the origins of the , why the ridiculous navy outfits, so I looked it up. lived at sea and in ports for years, a man without a country, and the early days in the late 1960s were rather bleak. Well, bleak for most everyone except for tyrannical "Commodore of the Sea Org," who had young women waiting on him while he was raking in over $100k/week.
