%BLOCKED EMOTIONAL FEED-BACK LOOPS 841124
Objects are not aware of their interactions among
themselves. They are not self-aware. They have no self-
regard. Objects do not care how they are influencing
other objects, nor vice versa.
Participants in objective relationships are not
emotionally involved in the emotional lives of the other
participants; they maintain an emotional distance from
each other in order to maintain objectivity. Emotional
feed-back loops are blocked---to avoid receiving
emotionally disturbing information. Certain kinds of
ignorance are essential to objectivity. To
maintain objectivity, emotional sensitivity must be
inhibited.
Extra-sensory perceptions are likely to bring
information which will undermine objectivity. Through
extra-sensory perceptions we may become aware of other
persons' states of consciousness, frustrations, emotions,
desires, fears, etc. Such awareness may lead us to become
subjectively involved and undermine our sense of
objectivity. People who are ultimately committed to
objectivity must avoid extra-sensory perceptions which
would compromise their sense of objectivity. This is
facilitated by refusing to believe in their "reality".
Sympathy and empathy tend to undermine objectivity,
for they have to do with emotions which are subjective.
They involve participants in second-order, third-order,
etc. levels of interactions---which are beyond
simple analysis and rationalization. It is difficult for
people who are ultimately committed to objectivity
to be genuinely in Love. To be in Love is not an
objective act. To be integrated in to a community with
integrity is not an objective act, because it entails
many self-referential relationships.
Many intellectuals are embarrassed by their
emotions---because they have not developed an
integrated way of relating their intellectual and
emotional aspects to each other. Their commitment to
objectivity is too extreme and exclusive to permit
emotional feed-back loops to provide them with
information which is essential to integrity. They
lack the maturity needed to transcend embarrassment.
