Thus, we need reflexive theories about our place and the nature of our interactions and perceptions of all in which we are participants. We need ideals and values which refer to us as participants. We need to see what determines our sense of what is happening that determines our images of what is real---and how what is real interacts with our other realities. Compulsively objective scientists do not embody the above insights. Many scientists compulsively pretend that they do not interact with the focus of their attention. They regard themselves as not being part of the interactive system; as if they were a distant God who did not interfere with His creation as He watched His universe obey His laws to see where they will lead His creation.
