   %STUDENTS FEAR SCIENTISTS TECHNOCRATS DISHONESTY 900426

     Students  are  interested  in science when  they  are
young  and  have not yet become aware of the  patterns  of
technocratic  dishonesty  which characterize most  of  the
scientific   industrial   complex  and   its   educational
servants.

     As  students become more mature they slowly begin  to
perceive that there are patterns of fundamental dishonesty
in  their  technocratic  society.   They  see  that  those
patterns are pervasive in the characters of scientists who
have been trained to be technocrats.  They become aversive
towards  people who embody such technocratic  patterns  of
thought and emotionally impoverished living.

     The  decisions  of young people not  to  focus  their
attention upon scientific questions are rarely made at the
conscious  level.    It  is unlikely that exit  interviews
will  elicit the reasons for their decisions,  because the
people  conducting  the exit interviews are likely  to  be
perceived   by  the    young   people   as   unworthy   of
trust---too   much associated with scientists  whom   they
feel  they  cannot trust  with integrity.    No scientific
study   is  likely  to uncover  the  reasons   for   which
adolescents  shy  away  from  scientists;   for  there  is
alienation  standing  in the way of  honest  communication
regarding those reasons.

     Alienation  between adolescents and scientists cannot
be studied scientifically by scientists who are  alienated
from the adolescents.    The alienation is a reality about
which scientists and adolescents cannot be objective.   No
amount  of scientific analysis  will  lead  to  successful
understanding  and  control.   Here real  wisdom  involves
understanding  what cannot be controlled,  and what we are
fools to try to control.  But technocrats are too addicted
and dishonest to seek such wisdom which would expose their
lack of integrity.
