It is not an essential human need in an emotionally fail-safe society. Privacy is the final defense line against technocrats' manipulative violations of humans as subjects---to conform them with objective definitions of propriety. In the absence of such pressure to conform, privacy is not essential, and so becomes optional, a matter of personal taste and free choice of a life style. This rarely occurs. When privacy is essential to human dignity, it may block intimate sharing of exemplary affectionate behavior. Young people often grow up with no awareness of role- models of respected affectionate behavior. Such behavior may occur only in private. It is hidden behavior. It comes to be regarded as essentially hidden behavior, essentially inappropriate for others to witness. Thus, affectionate people are not free to witness to the values of affectionate behavior. In self defense it must be hidden. But hiding it is self- defeating. For society this is a can't-win predicament. Individuals may defend themselves, but their youth become the victims of having no affectionate role-models upon which to base self acceptance of affectional inclinations. Threats may thus cause repression of those inclinations toward affectionate physical contact. The frustration so generated gets expressed in intimate relationships of perverted physical contact---physical violence. Frustrations are also expressed in sublimated violent tendencies---compulsive involvement in analysis, manipulations, and the use of the techniques. Often such activity is carried out in private---or even in Top Secret endeavors of great importance. Such endeavors facilitate physical violence without personal physical contact. Thus violator and victim may both be in private---in technocratic relationships of private destruction. The relationship may be a reciprocal one of mutual deterrence in which violence is real, though only threatened. It is realized not in the objective world, but in the subjective world of private realities. These realities are not valued in the objective world of the technocrat. Thus, the technocrat sees success in that failure, and takes great pride in the endless accumulation of weapons. He says they will be most successful if they are never used. Yet they inflict economic and psychological violence upon those who build them, upon and those who are threatened. They intensify the technocratic society. This makes privacy even more essential to human behavior. Thus the vicious cycle of is completed, and starts on another round, at a higher level of intensity than last time. The vicious cycle can only be broken by attractive scientists who can help bring together the alienated technocrats and their human victims. Such people need our support and encouragement in their important job. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
