%UNIMPORTANT REALITIES 850625
Research scientists are not well educated in regards
to consideration of values, ideals, and priorities. They
are not skilled in articulating them, comparing them, and
making informed judgments regarding them. Willy nilly
they deal with values, ideals and priorities; but without
skill, and with little conscious thought regarding what
they are doing or why.
We tend to focus our attention upon that which is
most important to us, and that upon which we focus most of
our attention becomes most important to us. Research
scientists focus most of their attention upon objects as
objects. It is natural that research scientists regard
objects as the most important realities in their lives.
Because of their narrowly focused dedication to the study
of objects as objects it is natural that research
scientists arrive at the practice of considering objects
as the only important reality type.
It is hard to believe that you are paying no
attention to realities which are around you, that you
literally can not see real things which are in your
presence. That would be to admit that you are blind.
Scientists who pay no attention to non-objective realities
are thus prone to deny that non-objective realities to
which they have chosen to pay no attention are still real
in spite of their lack of attention from scientists. The
natural consequence of scientists' dedication to the study
of just objective realities is to deny the reality of non-
objective realities; and to pay even less attention to
that which has been defined to not exist. It would be
foolish to pay attention to that which does not exist.
Those people who do pay attention to that which does not
exist are thus regarded as fools, and excluded from the
fellowship of intelligent scientists. There is less
embarrassment that way.
Specialists who become exclusive in the focus of
their attention are prone to come to regard realities
outside their range of specialization as unimportant and
perhaps unreal. Thus they become unable to relate their
specialty to other areas of human endeavor and so become
alienated from all that might give their specialty
significant meaning. They become irrelevant and
insignificant to the integrity of their community, except
perhaps as agents of disintegration.
