They regard subjective realities which are known to only untrained people as not worthy of serious attention. Untrained people are prone to take seriously optical illusions, mirages, tricks of magic, ghosts, spirits, and the like---as if they were really real. Through proper training people learn that such perceptions are unreliable, and turn their attention to realities which depend less obviously upon the desires, fears, emotions, hopes, beliefs, etc. of the observers. Through training the connections between such factors within the observers and the realities which they take seriously become even less obvious; and it appears to the well trained observer that the realities upon which attention is trained exists independently of any considerations of the observers. The more highly trained, skilled, specialized are the scientists, the more they tend to regard their objective realities as the only really real realities; i.e., the only realities worthy of serious communal attention. Such is the belief of their elite sub-culture, and the general non-objective consensus within the broader, less educated community is that members of the elite sub-culture know more and should be trusted more than should the less trained persons who operate in terms of unrefined common sense. Thus the beliefs of the elite are supported by the foundation of the beliefs of the untrained people who though untrained, are very numerous. Because of their sheer numbers their subjective common sense is taken seriously by the scientists, and the scientists feel confirmed by the common people's beliefs and faith in them. There are few specialists who perceive the most sophisticated objective realities, and they need some measure of communal affirmation that their perceptions should be taken seriously. The affirmation may totally lack affective warmth, and be given only through the financial support of bureaucratically collected tax dollars, yet it still reaches the heart of the scientists yearning for the security which communal affirmation occasions. They too need to have their beliefs and perceptions affirmed as worthy of attention. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
