Mark Rathbun: merchant of chaos

Marty Rathbun is being paid by lawyers, who are being paid by an unidentified sub-church of Scientology (dedicated to counter-intelligence, PR/black propaganda, and psy-ops), to generate criticism against opponents of Scientology. That is his current job and only real source of income, for which he scrupulously files taxes every year. There may also be some auditing income.
A secondary goal of this operation is to create media confusion, to paradoxically make his double defection appear less interesting, and reduce mainstream media coverage. It's explained a few posts below (https://news.sea-org.com/2020/10/mark-rathbun-explained.html).
This brings me to my Rule One for life:
The best way I can put it, is that for all interactions, there should be no "posing". Or what Hubbard might have called "service facsimiles".
Don't pretend to be some type of character who can fit into others' expected social roles. Don't try to please people or gain passive social approval. Often, that means the best thing to say is nothing.
However with "Black Scientology", this rule could be turned around to cause maximum chaos and disruption.
That may also be a good description of the times to come.

Maybe L. Ron Hubbard was right about one thing:

It seems to me that there is no science or area of human thought that is less inclined to ask "why" than physics.
Based on me having read over a hundred "popular physics books" since the nineteen-eighties, physical science is strictly about what, with some attention given to "how". That makes it as far from philosophy as you can get.
