                     %INTEGRATED UNBIASED REFLEXIVE 860612

     Compulsively objective people seek to transcend  bias
by being objective in exclusive ways which result in their
denial  of  any value in intimate personal  relationships.
Through compulsively objective dedications they fall  into
the   bias   of   being   exclusively   in   anti-personal
relationships.

     If one does not care about bias at all, one may  make
favorable  judgments  about  oneself due to  conflicts  of
interest when engaged in reflexive consideration;  or,  in
over-compensation one may make unfavorable judgments about
oneself.    It  is often the case that self-assessment  is
unreliable due to conflicts of interest.   There is a need
to find a way to transcend the bias due to such  conflicts
of interest.

     Compulsively objective people seek to transcend  that
bias   by  always  avoiding  reflexive  behavior,   or  by
pretending to do so.

     Avoiding reflexive behavior is not the only  possible
way   to  transcend  the  disintegrative  consequences  of
conflicts   of   interest  in  reflexive  behavior.     An
integrative  dedication  to behaving in  integrative  ways
regarding  reflexive  considerations---is  another way  to
help transcend th disintegrative consequences of conflicts
of interest in reflexive considerations; especially if the
dedication  is entered  into mutually in integrative  ways
with many other members of community which is dedicated to
promoting both personal integrity and communal  integrity.
Such a dedication  will not be exclusive in regards to any
other  integrative  dedication,   for to be  so  would  be
inconsistent   with   the  essence  of   the   integrative
dedication.

     Objectivity   is  counter-productive  as  a  way   of
avoiding bias in reflexive considerations.  High levels of
immature emotions are also counter-productive as a way  of
avoiding bias.  Integrative values and ideals can lead the
way in finding how to use complementary ways to avoid bias
in contextually appropriate manners.   Neither objectivity
nor emotions can lead the other appropriately, for neither
offers transcendent values and ideals in terms of which to
recognize  when  the other is more appropriate than it  is
itself.  Neither objectivity nor emotions provide criteria
for  assessment  of transcendent  worth  with  appropriate
contextual  consideration.   Consider instead a dedication
to both personal and communal integrity.
