Scientific knowledge and understanding provides people who are addicted to technology with more ways to try to be in control of human behavior. The technocrat cannot recover health through the use of more manipulative tools. Manipulative tools are focal points of technocratic and addictive behavior; more tools will not point the way to recovery. The kinds of knowledge which are recognized as being valuable to the addicted technocrat are the kinds of knowledge which can serve as the basis for manipulative control. Other kinds of knowledge are not recognized as being of any value, for to the technocrat all that is of value has to do with manipulation and control. Thus the addict cannot find the way to authentic salvation through the search for more of what the technocrat regards as knowledge and understanding. Technical schools and research centers will not find the way to resolve the conflicts which are central to the disintegrative processes of a technocratic community. Such schools and centers are perpetuators of the system of belief which is the ground of being for a technocratic community. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
