 %MAINTAIN COLLUSION CONTROL PARADIGM RESPECT POWER 930414

     Well established  professions which are dominated  by
and guided by a  well  defined paradigm have a tendency to
prevent  revolutionary  changes  and  growth  within   the
profession  by  controlling the standards  of publication.
Creative insights  cannot  get published if  they  do  not
conform  to the standards of the paradigm;  and especially
if  the insights call into question any ideals and  values
which are embodied in the paradigm.

     Respectable  professional  publications  exclude from
their pages  articulations  of  insights  which  have  not
generated  a  required  level of  consensus  support among
respected  leaders of the paradigm.   Articulations  which
fail to celebrate the central features of the paradigm are
not published.   In the extreme such patterns of behaviors
lead  to the evolution of professional collusive games  of
mutual self deception which cannot be described accurately
within the  professional publications;  for to do so would
violate the tribal taboos of the profession. Young people,
take note!

     Professional  collusions  can be transcended  in many
instances only by reaching young people who may or may not
become new members of the profession---and helping them to
recognize, describe,  and talk about the lack of integrity
within  the profession before they become involved in pre-
professional training programs.

     Once   young  people  have  become  involved  in  and
affirmed by pre-professional training programs, and aspire
to gain the respect  of powerful participants in collusive
games of mutual self deception; it is not likely that they
will be helped to recognize, describe,  and talk about the
lack  of integrity within the profession.  This means that
the   work  needed  for  a  community  to  transcend  such
professional collusions must be done within the context of
the early years of education.  Teachers  of young students
must  be assured  freedoms  of  communication and academic
freedom within secure contexts;  else  dominant members of
professions which are engaged in collusive games of mutual
self   deception  will  find  overt  and  covert  ways  to
undermine the  power  of creative  teachers  who  have the
insights required to help  the  new generation of students
to   transcend  such  collusive  games  of   mutual   self
deception.
