Savages

From the 1997 edition of Fundamentals of Thought, Chapter "Causation and Knowledge", Section "Civilization and Savagery", page 113-114.

"The Scientology religion is based exclusively upon L. Ron Hubbard's research, writings and recorded lectures —
all of which constitute the Scriptures of the religion"

Self-created data is, then, not a bad thing, neither is education, but one without the other to hold it in some balance will bring about a no-game condition  or a no-civilization. Just as individuals can be seen, by observing nations, so we see the African tribesman, with his complete contempt for truth and his emphasis on brutality and savagery for others but not himself, is a no-civilization. And we see at the other extreme China, slavishly dedicated to ancient scholars, incapable of generating within herself sufficient rulers to continue, without bloodshed, a nation.

We have noted the individual who must be the only one who can make a postulate  or command, whose authority is dearer to him than the comfort or state of millions that have suffered from such men (Napoleon, Hitler, Kaiser Wilhelm, Frederick of Prussia, Genghis Khan, Attila). We have known, too, the scholar who has studied himself into blindness and is the world's greatest authority on government or some such thing, who yet cannot himself manage his bank account or a dog with any certainty. Here we have, in either case, a total imbalance. The world shaker is himself unwilling to be any effect of any kind (and all the men named here were arrant personal cowards) and we have the opposite, a man who would not know what you were talking about if you told him to get an idea of his own.

Black Africans are barbarous, but it is understandable because they have been heavily traumatized and degraded in their past lives according to Hubbard:

But you take some colored fellow and you'll find him beating a slightly different track. And you'll find in Africans a fantastic amount of heavy space opera  and so on going on, that is off this beat, which makes the colored African very, very interesting to process, because he doesn't know why he goes through all these dances and what's happened to him and all of this sort of thing and why he feels so barbarous or something. He hasn't any clue about this. Now he's as capable of as much civilisation as you are. He actualy got pushed around a lot harder because of the environment itself is a ferocious environment or was for many, many centuries… because of animals and things like that, which had its own dynamite, you know what I'm saying? So he's running a slightly different track , but it's a track which obeys exactly the same rules and you'll just have to look a bit harder for it. And one day you'll be processing some chap and you'll find yourself processing Chaka  or Kataba  or somebody of this character and man, you have enough overts  on him to last him for a long time. He's just killing tribes off in all directions. [chuckle]. And the military leader who was educated by the Europeans, went back and formed up the regiments of Zulus and so forth and overwhelmed the rest of the race and so on.
