Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I think he says like 56 perceptions or something.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

And that it's perfect.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

and you can access that information, you just have trouble doing so.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Okay, so he says that these recordings, these mental pictures, have actual electrical charge and mass.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Now, you asked before, is there any actual physics in this?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I don't know.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Where are you supposed to store the pictures of your last 76 trillion years that have charge and mass?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I don't see it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

But Hubbard says it's there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Okay, so he says that these things have mass, and when you recall them or put attention on them,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

You create an electrical flow, which maybe through magnetic fields or whatever, impinges upon the electrical flow of the E-meter, and it shows up as a read on the needle.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

That's how Scientologists believe that's why the needle reads.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Now, cynics would say the needle only reads on palm sweat and movement.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Well, I know that's not true.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I can't tell you everything the needle does read on, but I can tell you it's not just moving your hands and sweaty hands.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

It does correlate to thoughts, probably.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I can't explain to you how you get a floating needle, but it sure as hell isn't hand sweat and it sure as hell isn't squeezing the cans.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

You get floating needles.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

You want your needle to float.
