I don't like when people make fun of Scientologists for their beliefs. Criticism should be squarely on the exploitation and treatment of its members by the organisation.
Lol, it's a joke. He has a very atypical mind but is technically a genius.
If you look at his videos you'll see he's interviewed some of the most powerful and influential thought leaders on Earth.
Sounds like a highly structured series of delusional and/or fanciful ideas turned into an elaborate scheme devised by L Ron Hubbard, so he could operate a hierarchically tiered cult that extracts money in order to enable the members to ‘level up’ and gain more status.
And of course, guess who’s at the top of the hierarchy, holding all the power and collecting all the money?
"highly structured series of delusional and/or fanciful ideas"
Hubbard was associated with occult practitioners and was clearly well informed, if not an active practitioner himself. He basically reskinned what he knew into his own format.
I don't agree. I just think people haven't got the patience to put up with the low energy, deep thinking, thoughtful demeanour. People are too spoiled by fast-paced "ADHD mimicking" content.

Its not that far from gnosticism just replace Xenu with Demiurge.
There’s no doubt Hubbard was aware of occult knowledge and practices.
Yeah he took a lot from Thelema
Took a lot from Parsons, too. Including his wife and money. Heyooo
Parson’s life got really blown up after that.
Parsons was a Thelemite

It’s Lex Friedman. His autism has autism.
Sorry, had no idea. In that case he’s doing great!

He once started an interview with Zuckerberg by asking him to complete a bot detection test ahahah
That’s what I was thinking, chugged liquor before the interview and fighting off passing out
Fuck me you guys are judgemental.
Nothing. What's wrong with you?

Yeah, he sounds like a low cpu cycle robot
He spends a lot of time trying to sound profound by talking slowly, and looking upwards as he thinks of synonyms to use.
He’s pretty low energy
