Wow, the jargon! Better known as "loaded language".

One part of Hubfart's hustle is selling people the idea that, 1. You have a "reactive mind" and, the other is, 2. That he, Hubbard, has unlocked that conundrum with his "scientific" auditing process as outlined in Dianutics. Once you have bought that Hole Track Turd, the Funky Toothed Thetan, his Bouffanted Homunculus, and the panoply of scienbollocks organizations are your Thetanic Trifecta of Pimps.

All of $cientology is 'too steep a gradient' for me to care about it. You can only pile up so much bovine excrement before it falls over. I wonder if Joan Prather still gets her FSM money from Travolta's involvement?

Am I the only one who was reading this in their head in Vinnie Barbarino’s voice? It just sounds like him, like he was in character the whole time.

The term “bank” doesn’t come up much these days. He threw it into every other sentence.

This was helpful for me to see the appeal for celebrities. When you take someone like Travolta who would be recognized everywhere/ hunted by the press, it makes even more sense that he’d want to control and turn off his emotions.
