They cannot cope constructively with emotional communication; i.e., communication in which emotions play a significant role. The content of the communication may be essentially emotional. The content of importance may be non-emotional, but the occasion of the communication may be filled with emotions. In any occasion in which emotions play a significant role the emotionally immature technically oriented person is not likely to understand the communication, even though an effort may be made to try to understand it. Repeated failures to understand emotionally laden communications often prompts technically oriented people to dismiss the communications as unreliable, meaningless, and not worthy of their attention. Thus alienation between technically oriented and non-technically oriented people is increased. This increase prompts additional occasions of emotionally laden communication efforts, additional misunderstandings, and the further blockage of communication. When it is the technically oriented people who hold the political power, such situations inevitably lead to injustice and frustrations which occasion violence of various sorts. Violence takes many forms. Whenever a person's dignity, self-image, self-respect, or constitutional rights are violated---that is violence. The technically oriented---when they hold political power---tend to focus primarily upon the violations of physical objects and money which represents rights to physical objects. They tend to block from consideration both emotional violence and emotionally laden communication in protest to emotional violence. The technically oriented, in thoughtless ways, emotionally violate the non-technically oriented citizens---and then dismiss as groundless the victims' protestations, because they are emotionally laden protestations. The technically oriented people are more interested in technical details, than in listening to and being in dialogue with people in need of emotional and judicial support. They are unable to really listen and be in dialogue with people who have not succeeded in repressing the emotional side of themselves. Through their failure they intensify the technocratic society and its inclinations towards familial, institutional, national, and international violence. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
