%REPRESSIVE-RULE LOGIC 771212
The logic of repressive rules tends to take for
granted objective realities about which not all mature
people will agree. The acceptance of subjective realities
as being objective bases for repressive rules---generates
an exclusive perception of the range of possible
responsible behaviors, and excludes creative unfulfilled
possibilities within the forbidden relationships and
behavior. When the logic of a repressive rule is
accepted---one becomes a victim of more than the
repressive nature of the logic which sustains the
repressive rule. It is essential to see the extent to
which the logic of the repressive rule is a self-
fulfilling prophesy; e.g., predicating untrustworthy
behavior tends to generate untrustworthy behavior in some
instances.
Logic is a poor basis for justifying repressive rules
---because human behavior is not essentially logical.
Experience with people's responses to repressive
situations is no justification for the need for repression
--- because the rebellious behavior occasioned by
repression will not be eliminated through greater
repression. Theories of human behavior are often
misleading---because they are often the expression of
repressed and perverted human desires. All systematic
approaches to human relationships tend to fall into a trap
of one form or another. It is doubtful that any systematic
approach to human relationships will be ultimately
fulfilling and meaningful---for all systematic approaches
presume to know the range of behaviors which can be
fulfilling and meaningful. The presuppositions of the
system can thus serve to repress possibilities which might
be fulfilled in an unsystematic way.
These considerations imply that technocrats will have
great difficulty in offering meaningful assistance in the
resolving of problematic human relationships and dilemmas.
The technocrat's preoccupation with techniques will tend
to blind her (or him) to the meaningful ways to cope with
human relationships problems and dilemmas so to substitute
meaningless techniques as coping mechanisms in cosmetic
efforts to "do something".
