         %SCIENTISTS UNDERMINING COMMUNAL INTEGRITY 831230

     For  a  community to survive,  it's  primary  concern
should  be  to  promote integrity within it's  members  as
individuals, and to promote the integrity of the community
as a whole.  Integrity is impossible without the free flow
of  reliable information among the parts of that which  is
whole by virtue of inter-connections which bring the parts
together in a concert of cooperating diversity.   Whatever
threatens  the inter-connections which bind the  different
parts into a cooperative whole, threatens the integrity of
the  community.   Whatever would make essential  different
parts into an excess of similar non-essential parts,  will
undermine  the  unity of the concert  of  different  parts
which makes a viable whole.

     Integrity  involves  the binding  together  of  parts
which  are  essentially different.   The  differences  are
essential to the cooperative behavior of the whole,  which
cannot survive if  it  is just a collection  of  identical
parts which are unable to play essentially different roles
in cooperation with each other.

     For   a  group  of  self-conscious  beings  to   have
integrity  there  must be integrity in their awareness  of
themselves and each other.   They must have in  concert  a
cooperative basis for  coordinating essential differences,
through  communications  which  bind  them   together   in
mutually fulfilling  cooperative  behavior which creates a
whole, which is  more fit to survive than different  parts
would be,  if isolated from each  other (alienated)  or if
collected in a conformal way which did not take advantages
of the differences among them.

     Members  of a self-conscious community who are unable
to  be  open with themselves and each  other  about  their
personal  experiences  and  perceptions  of  their  mutual
inter-relationships,   will   be   unable   to  contribute
effectively  to  the integrity of the community,  and  may
undermine  the integrity of the community---by  inhibiting
the exchange  of  affective information which is essential
to  the  cooperative  behavior  of  essentially  different
members of the community.

     Scientists  who are compulsively concerned with being
objective  may thus undermine the integrity of a community
by  inhibiting  the  flow  of  essential  self-referential
information---which   is   needed   to   help   coordinate
concerted cooperation of different parts.
