Since integrity is not regarded as important within a collusion, it is therein reasonable to use deceit in support of the ideals of the collusion. In fact it is the responsibility of the supporters of the collusion to cooperate in supporting their ideals, to work mutually in the use of deceit to support the ideals of the collusion. Thus a collusion is a game of mutual self deception in support of the ideals of the collusion. To the participants the game is made by themselves to appear quite reasonable, because it is in fulfillment of the ideals which they have chosen as their highest ideals. Often the ideals of a collusion are instrumental ideals; i.e. ideals dedicated to some purpose. In collusions instrumental ideals tend to become indistinguishable from ultimate ideals; they and technical instruments tend to play dominant roles in motivating and giving guidance to the behavior of the colluders. The collusion becomes a technocracy which is incapable of assessing the probable consequences of its own technology---because the collusion is a game of mutual self deception regarding ultimate ideals and values. Participants in a collusion regard their critics as unreasonable---because the critics do not appeal to the ideals of the collusion. They tell their critics that they do not make a good case for their criticisms. This is because the criticisms are based upon ideals which transcend and imply ultimate judgment upon the alienation and disintegration which the collusion occasion. To crack the collusion without violence requires finding some way in which there is cognitive dissonance between what the colluders perceive as undeniable---and what they believe must be the case for their collusion to make sense.
