True, but here's the problem: If we don't learn from our mistakes, we're prone to repeat them. The abuse is hardwired into 'the tech', so we'll probably see sinister cult 2.0 in the making.
It is only hard-wired into the subject if the people who use the subject don't "pick and choose".
While Marty might not talk about that, there are MANY people out there in the Indie realm who DO
pick and choose, and who have no use for the ideas or practices of SP declares, disconnection, Fair Game, Hard Sell, noisy investigations, attack tactics, the justice policies, and so many of the nuttier aspects of Scientology.
Yes, if a persojn remains a robot to ALL of the subject materials, yes, what you say is true. But, outside of the control of a centralized outfit like the C of S, people can be and are much less severe in their
fundamentalistic interpretation of the "dogma".
It is the same with Christianity or Islam. There are a great many NUTTY ideas in the literature, BUT, some or many people choose to ignore and NOT follow those nuttier ideas.
As long as people can
pick & choose, the idea of being "hard-wired" is NOT pertinent.
But, only time will tell.
This is all theoretical and abstract anyway. You will not EVER be able to outlaw or get rid of "beliefs" or "subject materials". What you can get rid of are the nastier
behaviors of an outfit like the C of S.
In modern societies people are guaranteed the freedom to think and believe whatever they choose. I agree with that. But, in enacting those ideas and beliefs, they are NOT free to harm others.
This tension/conflict between
ideas and
behaviors with Scientology will continue as the dialetic process unravels on many levels - personal, social and within the Scientology groups.
The Church of Scientology will remain the recipient of ever-growing attacks until it either changes or dies. It will probably die, but who knows?
