I found this philosophy while browsing Wikipedia, took a little peek at the article, which read:


Neo-Tech (aka Neotech) is a philosophy developed by Dr. Frank R. Wallace that claims to eliminate mysticism from the human thought process by means of "fully-integrated honesty." It is held in Neo-Tech that mysticism is the highest enemy of human life, where "mysticism" is defined as "the acceptance of allegations without evidence or proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one's senses and one's reason" and "dishonesty that evolves from using feelings or rationalizations to generate mind-created 'realities'." Mysticism is said by Neo-Tech writers to be a "disease" of the mind, being described as "the dishonesty disease that creates problems where none exist".

And I thought, hmm, that's not too shabby, I can live with wierd terms like "Neothink", so I read on, but then...

I read this:
A "Zon," in Neo-Tech, is a "metaphorically-postulated" person who operates from a Neo-Tech/Neothink perspective. It typically refers to one who has accumulated sufficient knowledge about the universe, by using Neothink, that he has the capability to perform large-scale manipulations of matter and energy. Such an individual has become a "god," so to speak. It can include persons of the human or some other hypothetical variety that may be found anywhere in the cosmos or multiverse. It is speculated by Neo-Tech writers that a neothinking Zon may have created this universe for profitable business purposes. Neo-Tech writings explicitly say that this is an "unproven speculation" (and therefore, by Neo-Tech's definition, a form of "mysticism"). However, some individuals are apparently conducting scientific research to find evidence to prove the "Zon conjecture."


Well, f*ck. It's just some cheap, hecho en mexico, knock-off of Scientology.

Neo-Tech was one of the many clients of a printing/publishing firm for whom I've worked. Neo-Tech's version of "Dianetics was by no means cheap; they were charging $400 USD per copy! Despite their pretentions of eliminating "mysticism" and "dishonesty" there was more than a little homophobia and misogyny between the covers. This tome was a disorganized, pseudo-scientific mess. Imagine Crowley, L. Ron, and Time Cube combined into one!:D

I think I should examine Neo-Tech, read up on this new philosophy; it appears to be a very good tool for the criticism of Buddhism.

Time Cube alone is worth $400 in comedy gold!

aah, those whacky freezoners.

"OK, Hubbard's stuff sounds like bollocks, but how about if I mix it with Buddhism? Shinto? The Chilton's Auto Repair Manual?"
