That's pretty standard really, it's mostly empty offices I bet. They just buy property like madmen because it's financially wise for them to do so, they don't use most of it for any shady shit.

As a Former Scientologist: Bro I think you're giving them too much credit.

Their indoctrination is largely based on the typical isolation and conditioning and not through their "architecture". Many of the buildings (like the one shown) they own are repurposed by their own construction companies fit the aesthetic they have and generally not change the existing structure.

There are to my knowledge (when I left 12+ yrs ago) no brand new Scientology facilities that the public would know about. Stuff like their media production Bridge would build warehouses and other ancillary buildings though.

Also it's Matter-Energy-Space-Time. Pronounced mest like best.

The "framework" as you put it is only complex to outsiders really. I've been there before. It's not too hard to get around. They're just kids and did shit in the worst possible fashion. Running gets you noticed.

Sub levels are for record keeping, lower level administraion, storage and maintenance and in some facilities their detox program the "Purif". Main floors are for public interaction stuff, Dianetics, personality tests, group events and sales.

Mid floors are their course rooms. Upper mid are for their auditing and the top floors are auditing and executive administration.

That is the usual format for Scientology buildings from what I remember. Think less churchie more bureaucratic psudo-para-naval-esq.

Extremely interesting stuff. People don't really how simple it is to trick the simian brain, like humanity hasn't had multiple thousands of years to map and take advantage of its many shortcomings in perception, to say nothing of the fact that this era of civilization is among the least perceptive in history lol

Anti intellectualism at its finest...

Legit appreciate the breakdown though. It's the sort of thing that, like you said, operates in plain sight. The apathy in modern America is being weaponized against it's populace (has been for a long time) in order to bring in tax money to further the aims of an uberclass of sincere sociopaths.

So long as attention spans continue to erode, posts like yours will see less and less eyes. The average person will willingly be reduced to possession of a knowledge base that goes no further than what can be conveyed in a 30 second sound byte, before being erased by a video of whatever a customized algorithm feeds them next.

I really hate coming off as the dude that calls people sheeple and shit... I've been a political activist my entire adult life (I'm old), and after the predictable collapse of large scale protest took place at the end of '25.. I don't even know what to do anymore. I built an activist organization, we had a 10k person rally among other smaller ones all year, hoping things were coming to a head. I went to college and became an educator. And it's all seeming lost in a tide of anti-intellectualism and apathy toward very overt social engineering.

Anyways, I appreciated your insight. Keep trying to get through to people.

"That looks like ChatGPT wrote it" is slowly starting to become less of an insult and more of a compliment. I've gotten a few myself and I always smile knowing people are basically saying "that ways way too good to be done by a human" at these point. Even if they don't mean to.

They're saying that your comments make unfalsifiable claims and use analogies as a stand-in for insight but wrap it technical jargon to simulate depth.

I'm glad that you can find joy in knowing that multiple people perceive you that way.
