Yep. Ron Hubbard wasn't even a very good sci fi writer! Anyone who
considers taking him seriously should read some independent accounts of
his history.
I know of no other way to say it, but, that requires that one be capable
of independent thought and critical reasoning.
Can you even imagine Tom applying rational critiques to his reading?
It's a real stretch!
He used to hang out with Jack Parsons, who founded JPL in
Pasadena, and blew himself up playing with rocket fuel in his garage.
The Parsons bio Sex And Rockets has some good stuff about Hubbard in it.
