Jon Atack: Who’s Gullible?
Anti-Scientology Reverend Jon Atack is missing something: Gullibility goes 2 ways. You can be too credulous in the direction of a positive interpretation of something, and in the direction of a negative interpretation, as well.
Who is Alanzo?
Alanzo is an Ex-Scientologist who sees the same tribalism he escaped in Scientology rising up in Anti-Scientology.
Out of all the lessons he learned by escaping Scientology, he learned one lesson harder than any other: Never let your tribe do your thinking for you.
Alanzo tries to use critical thinking on the war between Cults and AntiCults.

"The problem is that scholars like myself who study new religious movements ...have concluded that such groups often share very little in common besides being new, small, or otherwise socially stigmatized."

If you've ever believed in the ideals of the "Scientific Method", a process unstained by human politics or tribalism, this is a gobsmacking interview to skip & scrub through.
But if you were never fooled by that, this interview is hilarious.
Almost a satire of the human comedy. https://t.co/G26lE6jwJd
