%REFLEXIVE SOCIAL IMMATURITY 851130
In his childhood Jack did not have socially
satisfying experiences through which to learn to be
comfortable socially with his own feelings, emotions and
other reflexive considerations. He did not mature in a
socially reflexive way. Jack now avoids reflexive
considerations and seeks ways to have his avoidance
patterns be in fulfillment of respectable ideals, values,
and principles; so that in a reflexive way he can feel
good about his reflexive immaturity.
Jack has chosen to commit himself to ideals, values
and principles which require him to avoid reflexive
considerations; regarding them as leading people into
biased considerations, rather than as leading to reliable
truths. Jack believes that in this way he can discover
reliable truths. Jack believes that in this way he can
discover reliable unbiased objective truth, while people
who indulge themselves in reflexive considerations are
bound to be trapped in subjective biases and self-serving
prejudices. Jack is spending his late adolescence in a
science graduate school which prides itself upon its
excellent program of training its students to become
scientists exclusively dedicated to the search for
objective truth, free of the self-serving prejudices of
subjective considerations.
In graduate school Jack avoids many of the
temptations to get emotionally involved and so be
distracted from his commitment to discover truth, the laws
of nature, the nature of objective reality which exists
independently of human considerations. Graduate school
helps Jack fulfill his commitment to avoid reflexively
immature professors before him.
Jack and his role models are trapped in strange feed-
back loops which are in reflexive ways augmenting their
reflexive immaturity and anti-reflexive biases. Because
of their anti-reflexive biases they are blind to the
nature of their anti-reflexive biases because by the
nature of their biases those very biases make themselves
invisible in a second order strange loop. Thus a very
tightly woven collusion fabric double and triple
bind/blinds them into can't win paradigms which inhibit a
scientific revolution by which to transcend scientific
collusions.
