Apple Podcasts5A_R_12345United States19 days ago - Mononogamy
In the March 2020 episode, “How LRH Made an Antichrist,” the host says “mononogomy” instead of “monogamy.” The context makes clear this wasn’t a simple word fumble. He’s so unaccustomed to normal socio-sexual politics that the word escapes him. Fascinating, in a way. “There’s healthy ways to do mononogomy.” Okay great, thanks? No new ground was covered on the episode, just the same vague sex magick symbology found on Parsons’ & LRH’s Wikipedia.
