What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

That simple glossaries could actually be cringe. I picked up Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought in the clearance rack in a Half-Price Books a while back, finally got around to reading it, and it has a glossary that takes up something like a fifth of the book’s total length, because LRH apparently believed that the only reason people fail in their studies is because they found a word that they didn’t understand, so he had a big-ass glossary explaining every word he used that’s probably above a preschooler’s vocabulary. And sometimes, he gets it wrong, like defining an authoritarian as “unwilling to change strongly held opinions”, includes some words that I’m 95% certain he made up that aren’t official Scientology jargon (though I can’t confirm it), or including in a definition of China that it was a place “where some believed that human life was of little value.”
