It's an interesting point that of the greatest considered philosophers of all time, who influenced the thought and condition of man, such as Plato, Socrates Lucretious and Voltaire, actually had far less knowledge and research into the Human Condition than L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion.

Mr. Hubbard personally studied more than 20 twenty primitive races, traveling all corners of the globe, sought out the human condition and discovered through his research the situations and solutions to life. He actually had more information and data than any philosopher of his time and of those before him, simply because his early writings took him into many aspects of man and his condition. This was done over the period of twenty years prior to his writing of Dianetics, and then continued for an additional 40 years up to his passing in the late 80's.

With backgrounds in nuclear physics and engineering, he combined these skills to not only discover the secrets of man, but then demonstrate consistently their application and workabiliy.
