Religion is about the promise of a universal solution

First things first: the universe - the totality of everything that exists - is infinitely evil. There is no natural principle that prevents literally unlimited bad things from coming into existence.
It appears we may already be lost, utterly doomed, without any hope at all.
On the other hand . . . In this sentence, the word infinite is pertinent, since humanity is very much finite.

It's a bit of a longshot, but being finite, there might be some sort of abstract limit to how complex and extensive all of our problems could become (they would seem unlimited, of course). Just maybe, all our human concerns, across all reality and every level of existence, could have a finite resolution.
This resolution would be definitive, indisputable and conclusive. From our perspective, it would apply universally, to the limits of our understanding.
Of course that resolution would have to be immensely vast. In fact it would be astronomically, factorially, hyper-exponentially larger than a full description of humanity itself. It would be a philosophical, logical, and scientific quest - the greatest and most difficult achievement of all time.

Religion would have absolutely nothing to do with it.
Scientology, on the other hand, claims that the problems of human torture and suffering never really existed in the first place. They're all just part of a grand illusion, one that can ONLY be removed under the authority of the Church of Scientology.

Is Hell real?

Reading about the four known levels of the Tegmark Multiverse is very enlightening. We live in an infinite hierarchy of nested universes, so all possible horrors must exist somewhere out there (Tegmark glossed over that part).
One of the many implications of this fact is that all past tyrants and abusers will eventually be recreated as realistic computer simulations in countless possible worlds. This will happen in either their own futures, or in some parallel timeline; by their own descendants, or by other civilizations who make this one of their missions.
The malevolent mind types will then be punished indefinitely. This is what the folks at LessWrong might call acausal mind capture (or something, I'm not quite sure of the terminology).
But universal revenge must be a fundamental truth of nature. This could be seen as the atheist incentive in favor of good behavior.

It's very different from Scientology's views on "Hell", which to a large extent punish anyone who has never practised Scientology, or who opposes them, or refuses to donate enough money to them.

What's wrong with X.com under Elon Musk?

I hate to say it, but X/Twitter is not living up to its potential.
I think that X.com should become more like Reddit, as much as I disagree with that far-left hive of online conformity. There was enough forced conformity in high school to last for a lifetime.
X.com's comment formatting should be closer together, with much denser text. Also, allow everyone to post long comments. Allow downvotes in addition to upvotes.
Simply put, we need more diversity to increase information bandwidth. Right now, it feels like trying to suck an elephant through a straw.
Paid accounts could still be presented to their followers and others in ways calculated to give them more views, and thus more upvotes. They would still appear at the top of the comment threads.

Inside Scientology Cincinnati

This was just a small Org. Life at the Flag Land Base must be far more restrictive and intense.

START QUOTED SECTION:

Inside the Org:

Staff routinely worked 80–90 hrs a week with no pay except small commissions.
Executives, led by Jeanie Sonenfild, enforced Sea Org-style discipline and redirected all effort toward fundraising for the “Ideal Org.”
Confidential case data was openly discussed in meetings, and staff were forbidden to date or have sex unless “engaged,” a control borrowed from Sea Org rules.

When someone tried to blow:

The HAS (Ghafoor Khan) and Ethics / OSA team (Thalia Durich, née Ghiglia) launched a local “blow drill.” Phones, car keys, and even passports were seized; staff were physically blocked from leaving.
The Qual Sec (Andy Hoosier) or another auditor would run a “metered interview” to extract written confessions before the person was allowed out the door.
A coerced Leaving Staff Routing Form and affidavit were signed under duress to protect the Church’s PR.

After a blow:

The person was secretly declared SP. OSA and HCO spread “Dead Agent” rumors, and all staff were ordered to un-friend or disconnect.
Blame was assigned to whoever “failed to handle the blow,” often resulting in group punishment or loss of privileges.
Fundraising continued as if nothing happened—management only cared that stats not crash.

Collapse and Aftermath:

By 2011 the Org was imploding: major donors, auditors, and long-time public walked away.
In 2013 Roiger wrote that life had never been better since leaving: he married, built a home, and joked, “Was I supposed to pay off a six-figure freeloader bill? SUCK IT!”

TL;DR:
Cincinnati ran like a mini-Sea Org base—forced labor, financial coercion, physical detention, and retaliation when anyone tried to leave. Roiger’s thread documents the entire cycle from inside the command structure and matches what many ex-staff, like myself, later confirmed.
