#361 – Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology
Lex Fridman Podcast
Is David Miscavige a Good Man?
David Miscavige is a true believer in Scientology, but his belief differs from other Scientologists because he is aware of damaging information about L. Ron Hubbard and the true story of Scientology. While Scientologists are led to believe in higher levels like OT 9 and beyond, Miscavige knows there are no further levels and that the promise of achieving full operating Thetan is a lie. Despite this, Miscavige seems to believe that Hubbard simply failed to complete his work and may come back to finish it. He even made preparations around the time when Hubbard was expected to return. Miscavige's belief in the return of Hubbard suggests that he is hoping for a miraculous completion of the work. Ultimately, Miscavige's unique perspective on Scientology and his hope for Hubbard's return raise questions about his true intentions, making it complicated to determine if he is inherently a good or bad person.
