Rules and regulations focus more upon our appearances, than upon our realities. It becomes improper to appear (or let others get the impression that) one has engaged in improper behavior. Then people seek to appear to be conforming properly; and suspicions to the contrary are everywhere. Such suspicions elicit further manipulative efforts which intensify the suspicions in exponential ways which undermine personal and communal integrity. The development of more sophisticated technologies and manipulative procedures will not help us transcend the technocratic tendencies of suspicious people who focus our attention, energies and time upon appearances. Our efforts to protect ourselves against each other's manipulations of appearances, in turn engender higher levels of suspicious insecurity, and so generate defensive efforts which offend those who are suspected. The paradigm of suspicious manipulation of appearances and of defense and offense goes round and round in a viscous disintegrative cycle--- until all energy has been dissipated into useless chaos and heat; illustrating the Second Law of Thermodynamics which describes the generation of entropy in isolated systems and circumstances.
