Hubbard proudly announces his 1970 breakthrough in logic:

“I have found a way now to unlock this subject [logic]. This is a breakthrough which is no small win. If by it a formidable and almost impossible subject can be reduced to simplicity, then correct answers to situations can be far more frequent and an organization or a civilization far more effective.

“The breakthrough is a simple one.

“BY ESTABLISHING THE WAYS IN WHICH THINGS BECOME ILLOGICAL, ONE CAN THEN ESTABLISH WHAT IS LOGIC.

“In other words, if one has a grasp of what makes things illogical or irrational (or crazy, if you please) it is then possible to conceive of what makes things logical.”

What he must have overlooked though is the fact that to establish the ways in which things become illogical, one must have established already what is logical.

“The ability to perceive the world around one and the ability to draw accurate conclusions about it are, to all intents, the same thing.

“Glasses are a symptom of the decline of consciousness.” Hubbard, NSOL, 75/76

This is empiricism pure and invalidates the very essence of consciousness which is to be self aware and being self aware one has meta-perception and can think things over and evaluate. Evaluation is not part of perception. Drawing conclusions are processes of logic and reason, not perception.

Same with glasses they have nothing to do with consciousness. All these professors with glasses do not in the least suffer from lack of consciousness. Hubbard confuses awareness or sentience with consciousness as has been pointed out already.
