                                   %AVOIDING BATTLE 831202

     People  who   avoid-battles-in-the-name-of-minimizing
conflict  often  leave behind their-front-lines-of-defense
like  soldiers,  who continue the "avoided battle"  behind
the  front lines.   The unresolved-agents-of-conflict  are
then  internal to the people who "avoided"  the  conflict,
and act as agents to undermine the integrity of the people
who sought-to-minimize-conflict-by-avoiding-it. Pretending
that conflict is not real with  the aid of collusions will
not resolve the conflict, but only heighten it.

     Scientists who pretend that all meaningful situations
can  be  dealt with on the basis of  objective  scientific
technologies,  are seeking to avoid the  conflict  between
their  chosen  way  of  approaching  situations,  and  the
alternative  ways which are often wiser.   They deny  that
they   as  scientists  are  engaged  in   self-referential
considerations, observations and statements.  Their denial
of what they are doing is a self-referential statement  to
the  effect that they are not engaged in  self-referential
considerations, observations and statements.

     Such  scientists  are intellectual  virgins  who  are
proud  of  the  fact that they have  not  been  intimately
involved with people who are significantly different  than
they are,  and are proud of their ignorance which is based
upon  such  lack  of  intimate  involvement.    They  pass
judgments proudly based upon ignorance,  and believe  that
their   judgments  are  not  subjective   self-referential
statements,   being  instead  statements  about  objective
reality  which somehow they know in a way which transcends
human knowledge.
