Black Dianetics

Black Dianetics is a form of Dianetics, as discussed by its creator, L. Ron Hubbard.

Hubbard claimed that Dianetics is a method of achieving set goals using one's mind. According to the Church of Scientology, Dianetics can be used to change and improve one's life. Claims from Scientologists support the idea that Dianetics is a positive concept that can be used to improve an individual's life. However, Hubbard also referred to something he called "Black Dianetics", for which the goals may be mean-spirited, cruel, or exploitative. That is, Black Dianetics employs the methods of Hubbard's ideas for selfish, vindictive, and destructive reasons.

Hubbard warns against the use of Black Dianetics in his 1982 book Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary (ISBN 0884040372). It is also mentioned in Hubbard's famous Philadelphia Doctorate Course lectures, as well in other material.

gollark: Hmm, different error that time.

gollark: There seems to be a new beta version around, so I'm upgrading instead. Upgrading is fun.

gollark: I'll just install `downgrade` and see if I can install a non-broken Qt version. If that fails, I can always just revert everything to the package versions of a week or so ago.

gollark: Okay!

gollark: All my modpacks are in MultiMC and it's generally better. I do not want a CPU-cycle-burning Java application. Another one, I mean.
