VIEWPOINT STRAIGHTWIRE
A form of Straightwire aimed at making a person able to tolerate any viewpoint at all, in any universe. Its formula is that any scale or arrangement in the subject can be used in a way that leaves the person more able to allow a view he does not share.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A person who cannot bear another point of view without arguing it down is short on this. The process increases his tolerance rather than changing his own opinion.
Why It Matters
Being unable to allow a viewpoint is more limiting than holding a wrong one, because it shuts off everything unfamiliar. This is the process aimed squarely at that.
