their founder deserves a hell of a lot more credit than he gets for being a pioneer of Science Fiction / Fantasy writing.. dude practically invented the genre..

That's L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology, not Jospeh Smith of Mormonism.

Except Hubbard didn’t get a following worth hundreds of billions of USD 🤣🤣
