The members of a society do not understand wizards or their techniques; nevertheless the members of the society trust and empower the chosen persons as wizards. In primitive society witch- doctors were the wizards. In Medieval society the Roman Catholic priests were the wizards. In modern western society the scientists/engineers are playing roles of wizards. In each instance political power is turned over to the wizards---with few, if any, significant checks upon the power, resulting in the corruption of the wizards. Unquestioning trust in wizards corrupts them into forming special interest groups with narrow perspectives which ultimately undermine their ability to serve in humane ways. Wizards are anointed in the mistaken notion that they are the incarnation of wisdom--the power to make humane uses of knowledge, skills, understanding, techniques. Often the ultimate concerns of the chosen people are knowledge, skills, understanding, techniques and controls with indifference towards their uses and/or humane considerations. Those who make inappropriate choices of whom to empower as wizards---suffer the consequences of those choices at the hands of their chosen wizards. The anointment of a person as a wizard does not make the person wise. The anointment of a wise person as wizard in the absence of checks and balances upon the power thus granted---may be the kiss of death, in that it will corrupt the initially wise person. If the chosen person is wise she/he will insist upon the institution of checks and balances upon the empowerment which is granted because of the high level of trust. When wizards are EMPOWERED to formulate the important questions for the members of a society, the society becomes especially vulnerable to the special interests and biases of the persons so chosen. Wizards may thus divert attention away from relevant questions, and pervert other issues by asking misleading questions which embody inappropriate attitudes, values, assumptions, coping modalities, etc. There need to be checks and balances upon the questioning power granted to wizards, else they may blind their electors.
