Will you ever be able to talk to other-than-yourself levels or you will
always compare everything -- which is not like you -- with chimps? Some of
the people on this list have already declared themselves as level-3 and they
will keep you company. Those who will not conform (poor chimps) will never
be able to understand what you say.

I think it's time to make two lists of people here: those on level-3 who CAN
understand you (and of course read Chapter 12) and those who can't.
It is a very dangerous place, Richard. Was Ayn Rand infected with the same
meme?
PS.
I went to a "Dianetics Work Shop" on Sunday. It was great. Now I can
better relate to what you say, Richard. I went through the Auditing
Procedure. Now I know how to become Clear. I would like to tell you how it
is to be Clear, but you will not be able to understand it (I won't even call
you "chimps" -- we Dianeticists don't insult PreClears). It is impossible
to understand it if you are not Clear.
Please read the Dianetics book where that issue is discussed in quite a bit
of detail. Dianetics derails quite a bit of Western philosophy.
Let your hearts open to USEFUL memes and peace be with you.
