%TRUST-1 750424
Real person feel free to trust each other.
Technocrats manipulate objects and persons, and undermine
the possibility of full trust. Trust grows in the
eternal now of authentic meetings in which participants
seek each other, rather than seek to manipulate each
other. Trust grows when individuals take the risks of
intimate relationships, knowing and feeling that they are
in a fail-safe context, one in which a failure to fulfill
expectations only rarely demands emotional pain,
estrangement, and alienation.
In a technocratic society young people are
accultrated to mutual manipulations, and come to regard
that way of life as normal. In spite of normal human
instincts many young people lose track of real living
which is always in meeting---they cease to live.
Sophisticated programs created by technocrats to maintain
standards of quality of life will not help persons escape
this trap. The technocratic society can be transcended
only through a miracle, not through an internally
consistent transformation, nor by a trip through space-
time to a more "favorable" place or time.
Because of the lack of communication between
technocrats and others---there is lack of trust. The lack
of trust is mutual. There is no mutual understanding
because there is no mutual awareness of a common set of
important elements in life. What is important to the
technocrat---is not important to others, and vice versa.
Their values differ, often in kind as well as in
particularity. Even further, their value systems are
likely to be profoundly different---although not always.
The technocrat will most likely have a value system which
is self-defeating; and continued dedication to it stands
in the way of a commitment to openness to others.
Transcending the two culture split will require the
taking of risks of the part of all participants.
Participants must risk an examination of their most
cherished unexamined assumptions---with the examination
taking place in the light of other's perceptions of
reality. These risks are likely to be felt as profoundly
threatening at the emotional level, making it hard to
accept the essential miracle.
