%PARADIGM SURVIVAL WIN MIND HEART CHILD YOUTH TRUTH 900301

     Paradigms survive by winning the hearts and minds  of
the next generation of children and youth.   Paradigms  do
not  survive  by winning debate contests among adults  who
are servants of competing paradigms.

     Children  and youth have an instinctive sense of  how
important  personal and communal integrity are;  and so an
instinctive  sense of how important honesty is.   They are
quick  to  detect  the insecurity which  is  generated  by
misleading  behavior,  and by behavior which  is  anything
less than a constant search for the truth.

     Children   are   by  and  large  not   impressed   by
pretentious  claims  of  completeness  made  by  collusive
paradigms.    As  they grow in consciousness and  maturity
they  come  to see and avoid such  pretentious  claims  by
scientists  who  are  not conscious of the full  range  of
human  experiences and relationships.   As they reach  the
age  of  discretion  they  instinctively  learn  to  avoid
falling  into  the collusive traps of scientists  who  are
excessively exclusive in their life styles.

     Females  who  are  traditionally taught  to  be  most
concerned  about  personal  relationships  tend  to  avoid
pretentious   scientists  more  than  do  males  who   are
traditionally  taught  to  be dominant and in  control  in
objective  ways  which  lead  to  success  which  can   be
predicted, attained, and measured.

     Addicts  and  their supportive cast  of  codependents
tend  to behave in ways which lead from crisis to  crisis;
not  out of crises.   They have created crises in  science
education by their exclusive foci;  and they seek to solve
the    crises   in   science   education   by   additional
concentration  of  attention and resources upon  the  same
exclusive foci.  Their collusive behavior is deadly in its
tragic  consequences.    The way out of  the  crises  will
involve  broad consideration of the truths  pertaining  to
personal  and  communal integrity in  relationships  which
transcend the scientists' paradigm.
