      %OBJECTIVE IDEAL VALUE GOAL REFLEXIVE DISCUSS 920804

     Giving  attention  to  and  discussions of paradigms,
ideals,  values and goals involves non-objective behavior,
because   the   processes   are   essentially   reflexive;
reflecting back upon the person(s) who are participants in
the process.

     The processes of evaluating paradigms, ideals, values
and  goals  are  non-objective  behaviors;  for  they  are
reflexive behaviors.

     The processes of learning from past mistakes are non-
objective  behaviors,  for they are essentially  reflexive
behaviors.

     If   a   person  is  narrowly   trained   to   engage
compulsively in objective behavior (as most scientists are
trained)   such  a  person is likely to be  inhibited  and
dysfunctional   when  it  comes  time  to  give   unbiased
attention to and  to discuss  in unbiased ways our various
paradigms,  ideals,  values and goals; or it comes time to
evaluate  them;   or  it comes time  to  learn  from  past
mistakes.

     The  society  which  tolerates  and  respects  highly
specialized  training  of  people in  a  narrowly  focused
objective  paradigm is bound to suffer from its  inability
to  deal wisely with dilemmas and technical problems which
require   unbiased   reflexive   consideration   of    the
alternatives from which it must choose appropriate courses
of action in fundamentally different situations.
