And it's true.

I mean, life is trying to survive.

of physical reality, then it becomes a little too woo-woo.

And the way L. Ron Hubbard in Scientology defines survival is very much intertwined with how they define ethics.

Ethics, anything to be ethical is pro-survival.

To be unethical is counter-survival.

we were talking about just the concept of the dynamics like what does survival refer to and it actually does refer to all of them but just keep in mind when it comes to the seventh dynamic thetans collectively um involved in here is the idea that a thing cannot die there's no such thing as killing a thing the thing can only can only survive and so um

Anyway, this concept of the dynamics is one of the most fundamental and important concepts in Scientology.

But because I mentioned that it also gets tied up with ethics, and this probably speaks to what you were just talking about, is you can have the ideas and the concepts, and you can have how do they go wrong, because they hold that Scientology, applying Scientology, getting people into Scientology, is the key to basically saving every spiritual being in existence.

Mm-hmm.

when you're analyzing what is ethical, it becomes whatever's good for Scientology becomes by definition ethical because anything that's good for Scientology, which is a third dynamic, is inherently good for all the dynamics.

So that's where you get

the ends justifying the means to do anything possible, use any means necessary to forward the aims of Scientology.

In some respects, Scientology created a near-perfect communist experiment in its C organization.

What is it?

From everyone according to their ability to each according to their need or something like that?

Scientology's C organization is damn near a perfect communist experiment.

Coming from someone who doesn't necessarily know what the perfect communist experiment really is, because I grew up in a cult, Lex.

You can't keep using that as an excuse.

It's a funny tagline I use in my videos.
