L. Ron Hubbard took the advice of George Orwell and then turned it on its head so he’d have a devious control method that works almost every time it’s used. In this video, I break down how he did this and how Scientologists and the public at large fall for it almost every time. Enjoy!
How Scientology Uses Language to Control People
Didn’t Orwell write “War of the Worlds”?
Psychiatry, as LRH knew it in the 1940s, WAS pretty barbaric compared to today.
No, H.G. Wells is the author of War of the Worlds. And yes, psychiatry was barbaric in the 1950s.
Great talk Chris. I like the short versions a lot! There is a power to brevity.
This Hubbard word thing and how he manipulates by redefinitions is the key to his diabolical success. I think he knew exactly what he was doing. Thanks for bringing up the topic. Have you read any of my tone scale essays at Mike’s?
I would like to hear you talk more on this subject. You articulate it well.
I don’t think I have. Send me a link so I can see what you wrote.
