Ideals and values are reflexive, so they can not be objective in the same way that stones are. Ideals and values entail subjective considerations and the emotions of people who are committed to the ideals and values. There are people who are committed to the ideals and values which call for the treatment of all things as if they were objects in the same sense as stones. They often regard their ideals and values as "objective" ideals and values, and because of their commitment can not tell the difference between objects like stones and their reflexive ideals and values; and so do not tell their students what those differences are. Thus they and their students participate in a collusion to obscure the differences and they are unable to analyze their disintegrative "objective" ideals and values; unable to perceive them as not being objective as are stones.
