%SECURITY LOYALTY TO TECHNOLOGIES 840210
People who feel insecure are not free to be
vulnerable in intimate relationships. They attempt to
compensate for their lack of intimacy by defending
themselves through the use of manipulative technologies.
Such technologies include manipulations of the truth ---
to make themselves appear to be other than they really
are; e.g., stronger, more invulnerable, more secure,
more competent, more confident, etc. The use of such
technologies encourages those people whom the insecure
people fear to reciprocate in kind, in an arms race which
is regarded by each side as the means to security.
Participants in an arms race are concerned about the
loyalty of members of their team. Participants on each
side of the race are not secure in their trusting of
members of their own team. They therefore conduct
security clearance checks to try to eliminate from their
own team any members who are not trustworthy, members
who might fail to manipulate truth in acceptable
ways. Members who might be open and honest with members
of the other arms race teams are not to be trusted,
because openness and honesty will undermine the
possibility of their team winning the arms race.
Part of the security clearance procedure has to do
with making sure that members of each team fully trust
the use of high technology as the proper means for
achieving security. Any persons who believe that the key
to security is non-technological responses to the people
who are feared, are themselves persons to be feared by
technocrats. They may behave openly and honestly towards
the enemy, and give away secrets which are essential to
technocratic security; the security of the technocratic
system. Technocrats on all teams in the arms race
are in the business of defending technocracy. That
fact is the main secret which security clearances are
designed to defend.
Technocrats do not want the secret to get out, that
the key to security is the promotion of the freedom to be
safely vulnerable in open and honest relationships
with the people you most fear. If that secret gets out,
they will lose their technocratic powers to
dominate human relationships.
