     Scientists  insist that reports of research  findings
be  explicit,   open,  honest,  precise,  and  subject  to
critical  appraisal.    In this way bias may  be  exposed.
However,  scientists do not insist that the same standards
apply  to  articulations  of their  own  values,   ideals,
beliefs,  convictions and priorities.   This reveals  that
their  paradigm  lacks integrity;  it does not  make  wise
provisions   for   the  integration  of   self-referential
statements into the fabric of professional activities.  In
the  absence of such integrative provisions scientists are
not free to deal explicitly,  openly, honestly,  precisely
and in a creative way with the conflicts entailed in their
affirmations  of  their most  important  values,   ideals,
beliefs,  convictions and priorities.   Instead scientists
fabricate and  maintain collusions;  games of mutual  self
deception  which  conceal  their  self-referential   (non-
objective)     behaviors and also their collusive games of
mutual   self  deception.      Through   such   collusions
scientists appear to be free of bias,  by virtue of  their
apparent   dedication  to   objectivity,     explicitness,
openness,  honesty,  precision,  publication  of findings,
and public criticism  of  those findings.

     Now is the time for a major revolution in scientists'
paradigm.   Scientists'  exclusive dedication to analysis,
objectivity,  quantification, computation,  understanding,
prediction  and  control is threatening our  species  with
extinction by being pushed to logical extremes.    Experts
who are ultimately dedicated to scientists'  paradigm will
resist    efforts   of   moderates   to   transcend    the
paradigms through respect for  affirmations of people  who
do not value the scientists'   paradigm.    The revolution
will  not   be  easy.     Turning  around   will   require
creative conflict  resolution in the style of "Getting  to
Yes"   by Fisher and Urey.
