Abstract
This book takes a provocative look at early 1970s - an often overlooked yet colorful period when Vietnam War and student protests were on wane as new religious groups grew in size and visibility. Certainly, religious strains were evident through postwar popular culture from 1950s Beat generation into 1960s drug counterculture, but explosion of nontraditional religions during early 1970s was unprecedented. This phenomenon took place in United States (and at edges of American-influenced Canadian society) among young people who had been committed to bringing about what they called the revolution but were converting to a wide variety of Eastern and Western mystical and spiritual movements. Stephen Kent maintains that failure of political activism led former radicals to become involved with groups such as Hare Krishnas, Scientology, Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, Jesus movement, and Children of God. Drawing on scholarly literature, alternative press reportage, and personal narratives, Kent shows how numerous activists turned from psychedelia and political activism to guru worship and spiritual quest as a response to failures of social protest - and as a new means of achieving societal change.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
