Hi Glen - very true.
The "normalized"Hubbard's logic was bound up in expansion of the Church.
He rejected classical logic and persuaded his followers to also reject
classical logic and accept his Data series.
The result was that he used ad hominem (Appealing to personal
considerations (rather than to fact or reason) in many of his "sermons"
He used positioning in the same way politicians use it.
The PTS/Sp, and Ethics tech is filled with ad hominem and similar
fallacious statements which his followers slavishly follow.
You will notice that Dennis promotes "Logic" and explains why some
reject Logic.
He says, "Logic is the science of reason. I only mention it here because
of the fact that as games become progressively more compulsive with a
being his behavior becomes progressively more illogical. Also his regard
for the subject of logic itself steadily lessens, until he eventually
considers the subject to be both useless and incomprehensible. Thus, a
person in a highly charged games condition will have a terrible time
trying to study logic; he will endlessly burn the midnight oil trying to
grasp even its most fundamental axioms, then, failing, will refute the
whole subject."
