Blog article: Independents, now and then by Mark Rathbun (2012)

I have noted a number of times over the past couple years that much of what I do I consider to be “ethics” actions; and that we as a movement are following the Scientology sequence of ethics, tech, admin. I find it to be necessary in order to assure that tech and admin can go in. That is why when engaged in ethics activities I continually promote that others not directly involved get real busy with tech and admin; because a) that is the only reason for the sacrifices in the ethics band – to make it possible to get tech in, and b) enough proliferation of tech will be the final ethics nail allowing a move into the admin band.

The past few months have been almost completely consumed with activities falling into the ethics band. The amount of kicking and screaming from the ethics-challenged beast has been horrifying during this period.¹
