It's amazing to me that his Lawsonomy had the staying power to keep it going into this century. The Orgone thing makes some sense, but this?

The comparisons to Scientology are interesting. To put it in a modern lens, the people following this instead of getting roped into that scam are like whackjob cult hipsters who would scoff at how popular and mainstream the other is.
