%EXPLAINING EXPERIENCES 790906
The raw data which people have to work with are their
personal experiences. For explanations to be meaningful
they must deal with individual personal experiences.
Perceptions are experiences of a very primitive level
which have been filtered through various levels of
tradition, language, taboos, collusions, generalizations,
theories, etc. Perceptions are experienced and so are
experiences at a different level. Objective scientists
deal exclusively with objective perceptions, and so do not
deal with all human experiences. Many human experiences
are systematically ignored by objective scientists, and by
collusion are often regarded as non-existent. Via such
collusions objective scientists pretend they are
explaining all that there is to explain. They do not
explain why they systematically ignore a wide variety of
human experiences. They do not explain why they
systematically are silent about many topics which relate
to the relationships between college and university
teachers of their specialty and the college and graduate
school students being acculutrated into their specialty.
The way to understand human beings begins with the
way to become aware of the full range of human
experiences. The blockage of such awareness occasions the
blockage of the understanding of human beings. Whatever
blocks openness, honesty, and self-disclosure regarding
feelings, emotions, desires, visions, fantasies,
pleasures, pains, fears, aversions, anxieties, opinions,
etc.; the same blocks the way to understanding of human
beings. Whatever blocks openness, honesty, and self-
disclosure regarding feelings, emotions, desires, visions,
fantasies, pleasures, pains, fears, aversions, anxieties,
opinions, etc.; the same "thing" blocks the way to
understanding of human beings. If the selection of data
is biased, no level of sophistication of theory,
hypothesis, data analysis, or philosophical speculation
can properly compensate---unless the nature of the bias is
well understood and honestly dealt with. Colluders do not
deal with their biases honestly and so can not compensate
for the biased ways in which they select human data for
analysis.
If objective language is used to point to unexplained
phenomena, then all explanations tend to be in objective
terms and all the phenomena can be explained in objective
terms. By the choice of language selection is make of
only those unusual phenomena which can be explained in
terms of the language chosen. It says very little about
objectivity to note that objective scientists are
successful in discovering objective explanations for all
objective phenomena which they become aware of.
