  %SIMPLIFICATION ACCEPT COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS SELF 900523

     Often we are expected to present over simplifications
of  complex  relationships in an effort to get  others  to
understand  the complex relationships.   The suggestion is
that  simple  people  cannot  be  expected  to  understand
complicated systems of relationships.

     Often the  reason people do not understand  much   is
that they as addicts choose not to deal with the truth. It
is not always complexity which is avoided,  but the truth.
Many people who do not want to deal  with the truth,  deal
instead    with    exceedingly    complicated    technical
relationships;   as  a means of avoiding  the  truth.   By
spending   all   of  their  time   on   highly   respected
technocratic procedures,  they avoid honestly dealing with
the  real  issues around which the technocratic procedures
set up a concealing smoke screen.

     What appear to be complicated personal  relationships
to a technocrat,  become simple to understand once one  is
really  committed  to dealing with the truths about  one's
own  personal  relationships in an open  and  honest  way.
Within  the  technocratic paradigm there is a tendency  to
treat inter-personal relationships as being so complicated
as  to be beyond understanding.   Such  relationships  are
beyond   analytic  reductionist  understanding  which   is
designed to avoid truths regarding the limitations of  the
technocratic    paradigm.     To   honest   people    such
relationships  are not beyond understanding.   This is why
simple people often understand and participate in intimate
personal relationships more clearly and more honestly than
do  sophisticated  technocrats.    Compulsively  objective
technocrats cannot permit themselves such clear and honest
participation and/or understanding; for they would thereby
violate their technocratic taboos.
