How to be more like LRH;
1. When you don't get your own way swear profusely, invalidate and lessen the friend you are trying to force compliance from. If you are a registrar make sure your every second word is a swearword.
2. Be totally paranoid about enemies and vested interests being behind every bump in your road. Attack your imaginary enemies with forceful vehemence even when they had nothing to do with the bump in your road.
3. Smoke Kools and swear like hell even when you are jovial.
4. Take drugs of many kinds, and claim the trips as "research"
5. have your doctor make out signed blank prescriptions by the cartloaad so you can choose how you prefer to drug yourself at will.
6. Make others sign billion year contracts of loyalty to you but don't sign one of loyalty to them for the same period in return.
7. When short of research "breakthroughs" take some of your science fiction and pass it of as reality.
8. Claim you are a messiah then become a hermit.
9. Plagiarize the discoveries of others then copyright them and punish violators.
10. Scam the hell out of people and get away with it by intimidating, bribing and blackmailing law enforcement.
11. Sell a Bridge to gullible humans.
12. In the name of Freedom create huge dependencies on you by others.
Anyone got any more suggestions?????

13. Hide out at science fiction conventions (only the small ones
that are more like they were twenty years ago or so) and brag about
scamming the rubes.
14. Make up an autobigoraphy which will have you winning mulitiple war medals, travelling through Mongolia, meeting with obscure philosophers who you claim taught real philosophers their stuff, becoming blood brother with whole First Nations, no matter that they didn't have "blood brothers", and writing books which you can claim didn't get printed because they drove people mad. Don't bother calculating dates. When the discrepancies are caught you can storm out of the room in a rage.
15. Wear an ill-fitting wig crooked and claim you have enemies who hate you and want to kill you.
16. Buy fake diplomas so you can append PhD. after your name, since you flunked actual college.
17. Marry two people at the same time, and claim one of them doesn't exist.
18. Treat your spouses with distain once you have them, and either disown your children or try to make them copies of yourself and when they cannot succeed, make them unpersons by various means.
19.Have all your clothes washed by hand and rinsed multiple times.
Have temper tantrums when you pull them out to be worn, claiming you can smell perfume on them. Make your sycophants wash them again. This will help keep them too busy to think.
20. Make sure you are surrounded by admirers, to drown out all those feelings of inadequacy you have.
I'll leave some for others.
