     Technocrats  do  not understand enjoyment,  pleasure,
joy,  happiness, etc.   They compulsively analyze all that
they  do  not understand.   In an effort to understand the
enjoyment  of  pleasure they analyze it,  seeking to  find
more basic principles,   laws,   and  theories in terms of
which to justify pleasure.   They can not accept  pleasure
as  a basic  reality  and motivating  force---it  must  be
explained in  terms  of  more objective categories.   They
seek  to  explain  all  experiences in terms of a  minimal
number  of basic logical ideas,  principles,   categories,
etc.

     Enjoyment, pleasure,  joy,  happiness,  etc. confound
technocrats  because  they  can not  be  explained.    The
technocrats  become  frustrated in their efforts  to  deal
with gaining complete  understanding,  and so minimize the
experiences  which  they can not understand.   They  avoid
situations   which   involve  heightened   affective   and
emotional situations---and analyze  to death  those  which
they  can  not avoid.   In the end  they  experience  very
little  which  they can  not  understand,   predict,   and
control.    Thus  they  live  in  a  very  understandable,
predictable,  and controllable world---in verification  of
their   basic  presuppositions  about the  nature  of  the
universe.    By  the  life styles which  they  choose  for
themselves---they      verify      their      metaphysical
presuppositions  and  biases.    To  them  the  conclusion
appears  to  be  the  result  of  objective  research  and
analysis.    They via collusions can not see it  any other
way.  Their collusions help them verify their metaphysical
presuppositions and biases.

     There  are  some  realities  which do  not  yield  to
analysis,  especially objective analysis.   The process of
consciously  examining and trying  to understand them make
them vanish.  Attempts at analysis, understanding, control
and  prediction  are not  appropriate  responses  to  such
realities.    There are  other realities  which  call  for
analysis,  especially objective analysis.   To  respond to
them affectively  without quantitative consideration is an
inappropriate  response---and often what is  inappropriate
about  a  pattern  of  response is not  so  much  what  is
included in the pattern of response,  as what is  excluded
from the pattern of response.   It may not be  helpful  to
say that certain elements should not be  included  in  the
pattern of response to a reality.
