The greatest good for the greatest number of fanatics.

Clear the planet of the belief in Scientology as anything other than a very absurd aspect of human culture!

Understood. We don’t know what future will bring to us but I personally don’t give any attention to it. Otherwise I start making my silly”mental movies”.
What I do now only counts if I’m here aware of it. The rest will usually fall in that line. Stay well.

After Ron described the handsome Johnny in such detail in Battlefield Earth and only briefly mentioned his girlfriend, I didn’t want to read any further and deliberately skipped the film.

I saw the film “Logan’s Run” as a child.

I also saw Minority Report.

And I see how both fantasies were realized.

It’s terrible, but somehow also impressive.

Bodylesses Thetans got no Wieners

Beware of recent visitors to France and nearby places. They have a huge outbreak even now of insectoid body thetans.

These evil body thetans are called bedbugs, and even NOTS tech can’t clear you of them!

Firstly, thank you. Forgot that in initial reply.

Although I’ll never make the same mistake again, and normally wouldn’t, the two Campbell’s have interesting congruences. The major reason for John W. supporting Dianetics in the first place was that it seemed to support the idea of psychic superpowers.

He pretty much insisted that writers for his magazines use that as a plot point.

Joe Campbell wrote on ideas of mythic archetypes .

Where they really came into confluence was Herbert’s Dune.

John W.’s ideas of psychic superpowers meet Joseph’s ideas of heroic myth. Always find that funny, especially since Herbert’s initial publisher for Dune wasn’t a fiction publisher at all (road guides and similar). They just took a chance on it.

You didn’t miss anything by not reading it. They made a movie out of it with Travolta, which was considered one of the worst things ever made. Moreover, it was only the first part. Because of its resounding failure, they never dared to mention the second part.

Sure, I know that they are different people, realised it immediately after my earlier post.

Since posting here isn’t convenient, and self-correction isn’t possible, left it as it was, knowing the high probability of a correction, as you have provided.

I think you mean John W Campbell, the editor of Astounding Science Fiction. Joseph Campbell was another dude altogether.
