Dim Sum, Astronomy and ScientologyIt's been a long week. Here's an update.
Watched Iron Man on Monday with a few of my uni friends, enjoyed it thoroughly. Spend the next 3 days learning astronomy. Will update the study blog with the data soon. Had dim sum with my usual kakis, minus Tridansh and Jeck but did invite Alicia. Didn't eat as much as I expected, does exercise suppress appetite. Denise was amazing, finished 5 baskets of xiaolongbao. I think Pingting and Denise ate more than the rest of us combined. Haha
Right now as i type, thousands of people around the world are protesting against the pseudopsychology cult known as Scientology. This is already the fourth protest (Operation Fair Game Stop) in 4 months and there's no sign of it abating. More and more of the dirty secrets of the cult is being revealed onto the net and into the streets. It will eventually snowball into an unstoppable force that will change the world.
I have kept tabs on Scientology since 2005 after stumbling onto www.xenu.net . Being in a country that has enjoyed the protection against such cults, it was shocking to see how an innocent personality test could degenerate into financial ruin and insanity. The heartbreaking stories reminds me never to take for granted rationality and critical thinking, because if you were to surrender it to a collective group, it would eventually degenerate into a totalitarian regime.
I would like to state my support to Anonymous and all those who have taken part in the protest today. May their good work continue and may they have the divine support of whoever or whatever they believe. Keep up the good fight, Anons! Epic Lulz! And to the scientology trolls out there, don't bother harassing me, I'm a Singaporean and you have no legal right to attack me. terryeo, stay out of my comments, I already read your ridiculous comments from other sites. To bgodly and those who have left Scientology, good luck and wish you all the best in rebuilding your lives. I hope someone could set up a charity group for you people and help you transit into normal society once more.
For more information, please google scientology, anonymous and chanology. Have a nice weekend. Evileye | 10:05 AM
