%COLLUSIVE PARADIGM CONTROLLED DISCOVERY 801218
Objective discoveries are made under the control of a
paradigm which is based upon the belief that realities
exist independently of observers who play the role of
perceivers of the realities. The essential nature of such
realities is presumed to rest in those aspects which
appear to be independent of the presuppositions of the
perceiver and of the manner of approach to the object-
perceiver relationship. If there are no such independent
aspects, it is presumed that there is no objective
reality. The objective collusion regards such non-
objective realities as not worthy of attention or
consideration. The discoveries of participants in the
objective collusion are controlled by the selective
attention which they accord their environment and possible
relationships. Many realities are not perceived because
they are not approached in a manner appropriate to their
nature. So far as participants in the objective collusion
are concerned, such realities are illusions, the product
of wishes. Perhaps their illusory nature is the product
of the wishes of the participants in the objective
collusion? Who is in a position to decide without bias?
From within which paradigm is the question to be
formulated and possible answers considered?
Bias cannot be eliminated; it can only be balanced
out. To eliminate the risk of bias we must take care to
ensure that traditions, values, and procedures are
enlivened to assure that they will tend to operate so as
to assure the introduction of balancing presuppositions,
beliefs, perceptions, approaches, considerations,
participants, wishes, paradigms, biases, questions, and
answers. Balance cannot be maintained in the absence of
charitable justice which is powerfully concerned with
discovering truth through uninhibited dialogue. Thus
people who are in error are encouraged to express their
views and opinions in charitable contexts---so that their
views may be examined to discover if their errors point to
some truths obscured by cultures collusions. No one group
of specialists excels in the absence of bias, for they
have sacrificed balance in order to become specialists.
No success in one mode of behavior is proof of universal
value to that mode.
