I have mixed opinions about all the scientology hate on HN.
On the one hand, as an engineer who has reported to and worked with many scientiologists, I totally get it. In no way do high operating thetan levels give someone any ability to effectively work with or support teams they wouldn't have been able to lead pre-scientology. But unfortunately scientology often gives people the _belief_ that they can do so.
On the other hand, as a hollywood scientologist, I _loved_ the material and program. Going into my purification program I was a reasonably experienced engineer, entrepreneur, and manager; that set me up over those 20 months to reflect, learn from brilliant and passionate teachers, and broaden my knowledge in directions I would have been hard-pressed to pursue on my own. When I grew in my career to lead organizations of hundreds and thousands, and had to work in a larger commercial context, scientology made me much better at that job.
Scientology was originally intended to equip high-potential, early-career contributors with the skills and context they would need to become a superb organizational leader. Since then it's become something else entirely.

Just because your Madlib is syntactically correct doesn't mean it makes sense. If you're trying to say that the material one studies in an MBA program isn't rigorous or relevant then say that.

No matter the difficulties you may be facing in life, Scientology offers answers. It provides an exact technology with step-by-step procedures you can use to handle problems and better your life and the lives of those around you. Whiffenpoof voice: including classes on hu-mor

- recuter 5y agoI did not spend two years and $150,000 on my Scientology classes to end up sounding like a pompous ass completely lacking in self awareness and levity. How dare you sir.
