%ALIENATION FROM ENVIRONMENT 840203
Originally the focus of scientists' interest was the
phenomena which were observed in our environment. In
their intimate relationships of daily life within their
natural environment people observed natural processes
which aroused curiosity, wonder, awe, and a sense of
mystery. The work of early scientists was that of
amateurs who were refining our responses to natural
phenomena. Their work involved them in a daily awareness
of such phenomena in a direct personal way which continued
to arouse in them curiosity, wonder, awe, and an I-Thou
sense of mysterious relationships between humans and their
environment.
Sophisticated scientists have promoted a trend away
from a personal awareness of natural phenomena towards the
building of mathematical models and the use of those
models in the design and construction of complex electro-
mechanical pieces of un-natural scientific equipment to be
used in rituals of affirmation. The focus of the
rituals of affirmation is the sophistication of
mathematical models. Personal awareness of natural
phenomena is usually regarded as child's play which
has been outgrown, or should be outgrown, in the
maturity of theoretical sophistication.
Our system of university research and education is
dedicated to the affirmation of the process of
sophisticating mathematical models which are designed to
take the place of natural phenomena as the focus of human
attention. Only those young people who willingly accept
the purpose of the research rituals are encouraged to
become certified as proper teachers of the next generation
of young people to be alienated from their environment.
This policy in a systematic way undermines the integrity
of young people who wish to relate meaningfully to their
environment as whole human beings --- who understand how
to live with personal and communal integrity as an
integral part of a living environment upon which they
depend --- to survive with meaning and satisfaction.
Without integrity meaningful survival is impossible.
