                  %PERSONAL STANDARDS AND JUDGMENTS 800819

     Technocratic   standards  are  commonly  applied   to
intimate relationships and alienative judgments are passed
upon  unconventional personal relationships.   The  judges
presume that impersonal eternal standards can serve as the
basis for passing judgment upon the propriety of transient
subjective  relationships.    That  which  is objective is
presumed  to be more worthy of respect  than that which is
subjective.    That which lasts a long time is presumed to
be more valuable than that which exists in the eternal now
which  clocks  cannot  measure.    That  which  many   can
experience and represent in formal symbols is preferred to
that which is shared by only two or a few, and  which  has
yet  to  be  adequately  represented symbolically.   These
preferences  occasion  alienation  and  the  breakdown  of
social  integrity;   they do not promote the  common  well
being or doing.   The problem is to  recognize the  way to
pass sound judgments upon such perverted preferences.

     All  judgments should be based upon experience,   not
upon  untested  theory.    The  more  consistent  are  the
experiences the more sound may be the judgments which  are
based  upon those experiences.   The more people who  have
certain  experiences  and the more  frequently  they  have
those  experiences---the more should they be  attended to.
Care must,  however, be taken to avoid becoming the victim
of   experiences  which  are  occasioned  by   collusions.
Millions   of  people  are  capable  of  participating  in
collusions   which   occasion  perverted  and   misleading
experiences.    Safety  is not always to be found  in  the
agreement of many people.

     Often  the  soundest judgment is to be found  in  the
personal  experiences  of  two  or  a  few  unconventional
persons  who through creative insight have transcended the
collusions of the culture around them.   Within the mutual
support  of  an intimate friendship the few may  transcend
the perversions of the many.   The many need to be open to
the judgments which may originate in the fellowship of the
unconventional.  For this reason freedoms of communication
need to be extended to all and promoted.   The technocrats
should  be  open  to  the  judgments  which  the  few  may
substantiate  via  their  personal  experiences  in  small
groups.   The alienation of technocratic behavior is  more
likely  to  be  evident to persons  involved  in  intimate
relationships---than    to    experts    studying    human
relationships via computer.
