Okay. Here&#039;s my carol:

Said the body router to the passing wog:
Do you see what I see?
At the corner near the traffic light.
Do you see what I see?
An org! An org! Opened yesterday!
Where for knowledge you have to pay.
Where for knowledge you have to pay. 

Said the Div 2 reg to the public man:
Do you know what I know
Getting up the Bridge, public man.
Do you know what I know?
You pay! You pay! To the IAS!
And your status will be the best!
And your status will be the best!]]></description>

Hi Ann,
The thing is you cannot really learn without some
kind of &quot;think&quot;. 
Before Scientology I usd to read quite a lot (fiction 
as well as nonfiction) but then I took my reading into
hiding even from my wife. Later in the SO I felt really
guilty (smuggling and hiding). Remembered one time
I was so jealous when I saw a Sea Org member sitting
in the mess hall and reading a newspaper in front of
everyone to see. But that was at PAC. However at INT
you were allowed to buy a newspaper at the canteen but
of course you had no time to read it.
Then, many years later, I saw a picture
of now this exSO member&#039;s mother at Flag sitting reading
a newspaper and having a cup of coffee. She was also
SO at the time of the picture. Well, now I can also indulge
without shame, blame and regret.
You would think that the OSA &quot;agents&quot; whose duties it is
to read the current events in papers would somehow wake
up and start to think. But the way they did it was &#039;scanning&#039;
for key words and now all that can be computerized, if they
have advanced that far. 
No think, no forward progress.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/words-of-wisdom-dont-think/#comment-242340&quot;&gt;I Yawnalot&lt;/a&gt;.

Very well put about how &quot;if you don’t figure out ‘why’ you’re doomed to repeat the same situation that got you in trouble in the first place&quot; - that explains a lot of Scientology&#039;s persistent problems.

Particularly having been in the military, and being something of a military history buff, it&#039;s always struck me that Hubbard seemed to have taken away the worst lessons of his limited experience in the wartime navy.  In combat, indeed, you have to just look and act - but for that to actually be effective, there has to be a lot of training and analysis behind it.  And during wartime, particularly on the side of a power with a deep bench of men and materiel, it may make sense to throw inordinate resources at problems, and risk being wasteful in order to get a critical job done - but that&#039;s not a sustainable way to operate, in general.]]></description>
