%REPRESSING REFLEXIVE REALITIES 810424
The nature of objective realities depends very little
upon the desires, fears, choices, and decisions of
observers. The nature of social and reflexive realities
depend very heavily upon the desires, fears, choices, and
decisions of those participating in such realities.
The nature of objective realities depend upon the
theories and expectations with which participants in those
realities approach their participation in the subject-
object relationships. The reality depends upon how
strongly the observers believe in the theory which says
that it is possible to totally separate subject from
object of observation, while the subject is involved in an
observing relationship with the object. The nature of
objective realities thus depend upon the beliefs of the
observers, as well as upon the nature of the objects which
participate in the subject-object relationship with the
observers.
Social realities rather clearly depend upon the
desires, fears, choices, and decisions of those
participating in such realities. Few people overtly claim
that such realities, are like objective realities are
presumed to be. Yet, many people behave as if social
realities are like objective realities are presumed to be.
For example, moralists behave as if moral laws were
objective realities. Some people behave as if the moment
when a "person" comes into being were an objective fact
subject to objective verification, and thus a question to
be answered by competent scientists. They do not
acknowledge that the answer to that question is as much a
function of desires, fears, choices, and decisions; as of
objective observations.
Some people fear to acknowledge their role in creat-
ing social realities; and even more fear reflexive
realities which are even more the function of desires and
choices, than are social realities. For this reason, out
of fear they repress the possibilities of reflexive
realities---which are realized primarily through human
desires and choices, and are realized primarily within the
consciousness of the person who is making the choices. To
admit such as realities places more responsibility and
freedom upon them than they are willing to accept.
