Biohacking Is Becoming a Pillar of the MELEK Ecosystem — Part 3: God's Cauldron

Part 1 was the instruments. Part 2 was the stacks — what goes in, and by which route. Part 3 is what they plug into, and it starts with an argument about an instrument that most people have heard of and almost nobody has placed correctly. The E-meter is on our test bench Part 1 named the bench: EEG, EMG, ECG and skin conductance on one hardware clock. That last one — skin conductance, galvanic skin response — is the entire physical basis of Scientology's E-meter. Two handheld electrodes and a galvanometer measuring electrical resistance across the body. The same principle as a polygraph. It is a real sensor reading a real signal. What was done with it is the point. In 1971 a United States District Court condemned the device for misbranding. United States v. An Article or Device "Hubbard Electrometer," 333 F. Supp. 357 (D.D.C. 1971), decided 30 July 1971 by Judge Gesell, required that it carry a warning stating it is not medically or scientifically capable of improving the health or bodily functions of anyone, and is not useful for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. The disclaimer that ships with E-meters today — a religious artifact; by itself this meter does nothing — descends directly from that order. That is a court holding, not an opinion, and it is fifty-four years old. … Read the full post on melek.salon: https://melek.salon/biohacking/@hathor/biohacking-a-pillar-of-the-melek-ecosystem-part-3
