The vast majority of people with bipolar disorder (like me) don't suffer from persistent delusions or psychosis. When you have an episode the delusions you develop tend to be different each time and don't necessarily carry over between manic episodes.

People can be batshit insane even without having a diagnosable mental illness, the mental illness just makes it more obvious to everyone else.

"Help the able. Make the able more able" Gee, how kindhearted and giving of you! Why bother with the hurting and downtrodden who find themselves in situations where they are unable.
i know, gonna break our hands gettin the money out of our pockets to pay for a course. he says here that he doesn't make any money off of Scifientology, so, he pays his staff zero, & charges everyone for every course itemized like a hospital bill.
Throughout this, I’m going, huh, huh, huh? He doesn’t answer any questions, and he’s not making any sense to me at all. He’s the madman and the interviewer is a zombie. And I guess I’m just a regular human! 😂
LRH "slept with bandits in Mongolia and hunted with Pygmies in the Philippines"? Pygmies are in Africa, not the Philippines. I hope I am not being unduly cynical, but I get the distinct impression that Mr. Hubbard is full of shit. I admire his ability to keep a straight face and not giggle.
Interesting that a marginally successful Sci-Fi author was the founder of scientology, just saying. I never saw this interview before, well done A A Ron, and hoping your Christmas was enjoyable!! Looking forward to 2023
Was he not quoted as saying " why write for a penny-a-word ( which is what he actually got paid, hence, why there is so many books) , when, if you want to make serious money, you could start off a religion?"
He was only a successful writer after Scientology started buying his books. He's the worst writer ever. I read one of his books. It was the rambling thoughts of the world's most uninteresting psychopath.
This man took eastern philosophical ideas and practices which westerners were, by and large, unaware of at the time and rebranded them as Scientology. There’s a twinge of self-awareness in him. All of us are complex characters. This man may be 99% a con man but some part of him longed to help other people. He was just so profoundly wrapped up in his own narcism that Scientology is the result. A great warning story. Thank you Aaron.

They should never show this to non scientologists no one this dull and whacked out the skull can be responsible for saving the planet 😂😂 I damn near died just watching that we needed Aaron's jokes to save us
Whenever I see him speak his lips reminds me of the beak of the scientist that made Sally in the Nightmare Before Christmas. How can he say so much and say nothing the same time.
I have seen this interview maybe 70 times when I first joined l got a copy of dianetics, the vhs accompanying dianetics , a new slant on life and this as a vhs around 2000. Then over a few years got everything dianetics and scientology related did courses.. now i just think one thing.. how did I buy into this and why did I waste so much time effort and money
I have always wondered how ANYONE, let alone the tens of hundreds of people that do, could ever think that this person is someone to be looked up to and emulated. Whenever I have seen a picture or a video of him, my impression, both immediately and all the way through has always been, this guy is a doofus, why would anyone think him to be anything else? I just really don't get it. I don't see intelligence or charisma or logical thought or anything else to recommend him for anything but what he is: a charlatan and a writer of fantasies.
As screwed up as we know this is you can kind of see what Mike talks about when he says Hubbard had a surface level charm. Even though he's talking absolute shit you still want to see where he goes next.
He’s so creepy, I can’t watch much of this. The eternal question: why were people attracted to such a slimy person? He much have come off differently in real life.
For anyone that doesnt have much time, here's my summary: Interviewer: What is scientology? Hubbard: Well, and so on and so forth. His most profound statement: What is good for the duck hunter isn't necessarily good for the duck. No wonder the creed's advice is to read books *first* - anyone not already sold to the ideas would run a mile watching a video of the creepy rambling madman - completely bonkers. How in hell did anyone buy into what this guy was selling?! Is there some hidden charisma I'm missing?
No wonder why it's all one big circle jerk! WOW! I actually could not finish watching it, so I muted it and let it play for Aaron! Thanks for all you do, you are appreciated! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Hugs from Nebraska
OK I got it ask what is wrong with his mouth. His lips don’t form words correctly. Just watch the first minute of this and see how he’s doing these weird mouth things. He doesn’t answer direct questions.
When he starts talking about psychiatry and psychology, Hubbard reminds me so much of a young earth creationist - it’s a very tidy conspiracy theory, things are blamed on a 19th century founder, and the experts don’t really know what they’re talking about. Fascinating to hear the parallels.
Psychiatry is pseudoscience, and it’s actually quite similar to Scientology. Mental illnesses are diagnosed through personality tests. No one is tested for neuro-chemical imbalances. Psychiatry is like firing a gun in the dark, and the mechanism behind some of the medications is sickening. Respiradol blocks testosterone. How is that going to help a young man’s mental health? And none of these things address the root cause, which many times is street drugs, which affect the very same neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors that the psychotropic drugs do, and are used the exact same way, to mask the symptoms. Scientism and Scientology aren’t really that different. Both religions believe in aliens too. Long story short, man doesn’t know everything, and not everything that’s labeled science is true.

Kennie is a real sack of slime
I joined the church after becoming a member of AA!!!! Thank you Ron!!
"Brain is brain."- L Ron Hubbard, Objectivist.
Who is Djhon Gawlte? 😏
I thought he was going to say the brain is an antenna or something to that effect. To think every question was planned...
@@Patrick.Basedman yeah A Aron has trouble even with scripted questions What a 🤡
How could anyone leave their kid with this weirdo for even 5 minutes??? Everything about him says con artist.
I first saw this about 23 years ago on the dark web of the early internet. Haven't seen it around since, so well done getting it back online!
Its also been released on physical DVD
When you believe in nothing you fall for anything.
"Help the able. Make the able more able" Gee, how kindhearted and giving of you! Why bother with the hurting and downtrodden who find themselves in situations where they are unable.
Ayn Rand but make it a religion. I'm always surprised at the idea that people got into scientology to help others.
An able salesman selects for those who can afford the product he wishes to sell them. The tons of poor need not apply.
The able means those with the able-lity to keep working, earning money, and giving it to Scientology, I must presume.
Because they're out of cash.
“Life after death is life after death…it’s too complicated to explain”. His brilliance knew no bounds!😂
Insane is insane. Brain is brain. A being is a being. Wow!!! Such intelligence. 😝🤪😜🤪
i know, gonna break our hands gettin the money out of our pockets to pay for a course.
he says here that he doesn't make any money off of Scifientology,
so, he pays his staff zero, & charges everyone for every course itemized like a hospital bill.
Man is man, no time for women
My friend heard that and busted out Cypress Hill. Which we both hate but - when a door opens and all that!
I can't imagine being his SO and having to be close to that mouth.
Throughout this, I’m going, huh, huh, huh? He doesn’t answer any questions, and he’s not making any sense to me at all. He’s the madman and the interviewer is a zombie. And I guess I’m just a regular human! 😂
He talks about taking math at university and then goes on about common denominator. 4th grade math.
I know this is from the 1960s, but even then he looked like a lying used car salesman
😂
"OH YES!. in fact...."
"and so on.."
"and so-forth"
Google says Dianetics was on the best sellers list for a few months, not decades.
LRH "slept with bandits in Mongolia and hunted with Pygmies in the Philippines"? Pygmies are in Africa, not the Philippines. I hope I am not being unduly cynical, but I get the distinct impression that Mr. Hubbard is full of shit. I admire his ability to keep a straight face and not giggle.
He isn’t giggling, however he does have a shit eating grin on his face for the entire interview!
There are pygmies in the Philippines as well. Called the negritos.
Tom Cruise believes this guy.
LRH SOUNDS A LOT LIKE MODERN DAY MEGA CHURCH PASTORS
Interesting that a marginally successful Sci-Fi author was the founder of scientology, just saying. I never saw this interview before, well done A A Ron, and hoping your Christmas was enjoyable!! Looking forward to 2023
Was he not quoted as saying " why write for a penny-a-word ( which is what he actually got paid, hence, why there is so many books) , when, if you want to make serious money, you could start off a religion?"
He was only a successful writer after Scientology started buying his books. He's the worst writer ever. I read one of his books. It was the rambling thoughts of the world's most uninteresting psychopath.
This man took eastern philosophical ideas and practices which westerners were, by and large, unaware of at the time and rebranded them as Scientology. There’s a twinge of self-awareness in him. All of us are complex characters. This man may be 99% a con man but some part of him longed to help other people. He was just so profoundly wrapped up in his own narcism that Scientology is the result. A great warning story. Thank you Aaron.
Well said and 100% agree.
Being a new ager myself, I always thought he took things from that, plus the dogma that keeps people attached to a "church" and blew it into a cult.
Nothing about Dianetics to me seems to suggest much inspiration from yoga, taoism, qigong, or any other eastern spiritual practice.
Love the poppy flowers in the background. Nothing says we love opium or morphine or heroin like poppy.
He talks a lot without saying a whole lot. I can see how a person who is not very grounded might be drawn to his affect of certainty.
He preys of overly idealistic people who are mild mannered but seeking power
A bit like another high up scientologist we know maybe
The easiest way to make money is to start a religion...L Ron Hubbard
Fantastic! Thank you so much 💞💕
When he's really laying it on thick he touches his face with his hands. A clear tell.
Here's a full occurrence count of the following two phrases by L.Ron Hubbard in this interview:
"and so on": 20
"and so forth": 31
I noted and agreed= with your comments (and so forth) Gnome--thanks.
Yeah sounds about right.
Hahaha! Thank you! I was wondering that myself!
Now I am wondering about “beingness” and the number of times he says “man”.
@@DawnDavidson
20 x "being", 2 x "beingness"
74 x "man", 4 x "men"
70 x "I". 13 x "me"
59 x "they/them"
1 x "I am here to cure the able, ask for no money, have visited over 9000 indigenous tribes including women (I paid), I have the biggest micro-penis (in this room), I invented rock'n'roll, taught Elvis to eat cake, I am a drag queen they call Lafayette" _(or maybe 2, difficult to say with body language)_
Wow, he really is full of it!!!!!!🥴😵😣
Hubbard was such an oddball....🤣😂
0:12 "What is Scientology?" A self-help cult.
Lol an oxymoron if ever there was one!!! 🤣🤣🤣
A self-harm cult in disguise.
He was insane.
This man was insane...not a sane bone in his body...
This is painful to watch. 😂
They should never show this to non scientologists no one this dull and whacked out the skull can be responsible for saving the planet 😂😂 I damn near died just watching that we needed Aaron's jokes to save us
He talks in circles. My favorite! 🙄
I would like to know what these celebrities thought this was real. He's boring me to sleep. Reading comments to stay awake. So much bs.
Whenever I see him speak his lips reminds me of the beak of the scientist that made Sally in the Nightmare Before Christmas. How can he say so much and say nothing the same time.
I have seen this interview maybe 70 times when I first joined l got a copy of dianetics, the vhs accompanying dianetics , a new slant on life and this as a vhs around 2000. Then over a few years got everything dianetics and scientology related did courses.. now i just think one thing.. how did I buy into this and why did I waste so much time effort and money
I have always wondered how ANYONE, let alone the tens of hundreds of people that do, could ever think that this person is someone to be looked up to and emulated. Whenever I have seen a picture or a video of him, my impression, both immediately and all the way through has always been, this guy is a doofus, why would anyone think him to be anything else? I just really don't get it. I don't see intelligence or charisma or logical thought or anything else to recommend him for anything but what he is: a charlatan and a writer of fantasies.
Now it makes sense why anyone questioned about scientology crumples like a tissue in a blazing fire
His mouth is so horrifying to look at
As screwed up as we know this is you can kind of see what Mike talks about when he says Hubbard had a surface level charm. Even though he's talking absolute shit you still want to see where he goes next.
Interesting bit of casual racism at the start when he talks about Asia being degraded.
He’s so creepy, I can’t watch much of this. The eternal question: why were people attracted to such a slimy person? He much have come off differently in real life.
That dude creeps me out!
For anyone that doesnt have much time, here's my summary:
Interviewer: What is scientology?
Hubbard: Well, and so on and so forth.
His most profound statement: What is good for the duck hunter isn't necessarily good for the duck.
No wonder the creed's advice is to read books *first* - anyone not already sold to the ideas would run a mile watching a video of the creepy rambling madman - completely bonkers. How in hell did anyone buy into what this guy was selling?! Is there some hidden charisma I'm missing?
No wonder why it's all one big circle jerk! WOW! I actually could not finish watching it, so I muted it and let it play for Aaron! Thanks for all you do, you are appreciated! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Hugs from Nebraska
The man was so full of himself, you wait to hear him say, "achtually..."
OK I got it ask what is wrong with his mouth. His lips don’t form words correctly. Just watch the first minute of this and see how he’s doing these weird mouth things. He doesn’t answer direct questions.
He has the same 'icky' mouth n demeanor of John Wayne Gacy?
When he starts talking about psychiatry and psychology, Hubbard reminds me so much of a young earth creationist - it’s a very tidy conspiracy theory, things are blamed on a 19th century founder, and the experts don’t really know what they’re talking about. Fascinating to hear the parallels.
Psychiatry is pseudoscience, and it’s actually quite similar to Scientology. Mental illnesses are diagnosed through personality tests. No one is tested for neuro-chemical imbalances. Psychiatry is like firing a gun in the dark, and the mechanism behind some of the medications is sickening. Respiradol blocks testosterone. How is that going to help a young man’s mental health? And none of these things address the root cause, which many times is street drugs, which affect the very same neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors that the psychotropic drugs do, and are used the exact same way, to mask the symptoms. Scientism and Scientology aren’t really that different. Both religions believe in aliens too. Long story short, man doesn’t know everything, and not everything that’s labeled science is true.
@@willwailes9298 that was good for a laugh.
Drone
You could call Scientology the religion of all religions but you could also call Scientology spaghetti. It doesn't mean that either of them are true
Did he actually believe everything he was saying? I just wonder. 🤔
Yes and no
The problem with these characters is they eventually believe their own bs and that's what destroys them bc it's all made of lies
