"You want to know what's wrong with your preclear? Well, your preclear is too serious. You want to know what seriousness is? Seriousness is solidity. You ever heard of a "solid citizen"? You want to get something done, don't get any of these serious boys. Shoot them on sight or process them. But if you want to get something done, don't have anything to do with them.

"There's nothing succeeds like insouciance*. Plain flippancy* will actually get more done in less time than anything else you can name. That's a funny thing, isn't it? It's not serious; the guy is flippant."

— L. Ron Hubbard
The Phildelphia Doctorate Course

 
 

From "Flows: Characteristics Of"

*Insouciance: Cheerful lack of anxiety or concern.
*Flippancy: Showing lack of seriousness that is thought inappropriate.

The Philadelphia Doctorate Course is a series of Ron's lectures about the subject of OT. One is as OT as he can cause things, and the first action in becoming OT is to learn something about the subject. This series, therefore, is the start of the greatest adventure in this universe — the adventure of OT.
