%PRIMARY AFFIRMATIONS 790901
Did, Jan, and Jill are affirmed because they are
Jack's son, daughter, and wife. They are not affirmed as
persons in their own right. Jack is the ground of value.
Those who are "his" are offended by not being affirmed as
themselves, rather than as Jack's. Their affirmations are
rationalized in terms of Jack, and thus is the technology
of rationalization affirmed as more important than people.
People are important only in terms of rationalizations; in
terms of logical, systematic, predictable, reasonable
relationships.
Jack's interest in science is affirmed because it
will promote productivity. Jill's appreciation for beauty
is affirmed in their own right; they are all rationalized
in terms of abstract grounds of value. Personal
motivations, desires, and instincts are not respected.
Personal values must be rationalized, else the grounds for
control will be lost, and people might behave
irrationally.
Control will likely be lost of the unique motivations
of individual people are respected independent of
rationalizations. Personal pleasure is thus not
legitimate motivation. Personal pleasures must be
repressed, and controlable motivations must be
substituted. Through such substitutions a stable society
can be maintained and developed which will fulfill wise
planning. This is the technocratic program for human
fulfillment. Eliminate personal pleasures and provide
motivations to fulfill expectations.
It is very difficult to control sensory data,
feelings, and emotions. For this reason it is important
to divert attention away from sensory data, feelings, and
emotions. They must not be affirmed, They must not be
shared or discussed in personal ways which respect them.
They must be brought under control through systematic and
logical analysis which will help people appreciate how
primitive and unsophisticated they are. Through
rationalization they may be caused to serve the
respectable social purpose of the culture.
