They seek to be comprehensive in their understanding so that they will be able to understand, predict and control all parts. Yet, in a strange way their program is not comprehensive and lacks integrity. According to the requirements of the paradigm which dominates the lives of most scientists they are not to turn their analytic skills and their personal attention upon themselves, or upon the personal relationships among participants involved in their efforts, or upon their relationships with objective realities. They leave themselves and how they work and interrelate outside the scope of their efforts to seek meaningful understanding. Scientists usually avoid reflexive dialogue and publications. They rarely discuss and/or publish observations relating to the central role which they themselves play in the conception of the universal conceptions which are born of their efforts to understand the universe of which they are in their own experience a central part. They do not seek to understand the part of the universe which is always closest to themselves. This peculiar behavior on the part of compulsively objective scientists is similar to the behavior of addicts of all kinds. It entails dishonest games of mutual self deception with all the associated confusions, insecurity, defensiveness, manipulations, lack of humility, depersonalization, pretentiousness, etc. which is characteristic of addicts and their supportive codependents.
