     Some  paradigms  systemically leads those people  who
are the incarnations of the paradigm to neglect,   ignore,
and  exclude  from  consideration those facets  which  are
central  to  certain  human  dilemmas.    We  cannot  with
integrity expect to lead those  same people in finding and
following  wise  patterns  of  response  to  those   human
dilemmas.  Neglect, ignorance,  and exclusivity in regards
to dilemmas do not form the foundation for wise  responses
to those dilemmas.

     Conflicts  among human ideals,  values,   principles,
goals,   aspirations,  attitudes,  beliefs,   convictions,
fears,   priorities,  needs,  desires,  and their like are
central  to many human dilemmas.   All such conflicts  are
essentially  reflexive in nature.   They are not objective
realities.   Accurate measurements, computations, control-
led   experimentation,    reproducibility, predictability,
convergent thinking,   manipulations, and the eliminations
of ambiguity and  mystery  are not characteristic features
of  wise responses to such dilemmas.   Thus scientists who
are  incarnations  of the objectivists'  paradigm are  not
qualified to lead us in finding and following wise ways of
responding to such dilemmas;  for scientists are likely to
respond to them as technical problems rather than as human
dilemmas.    Scientists  are  unlikely  to  recognize  the
difference   between  a  human  dilemma  and  a  technical
problems,  and tragically treat dilemmas as if  they  were
technical problems.

     To  find leaders wise in dealing with human  dilemmas
we need to  identify people who with personal and communal
integrity  deal  honestly  with the reflexive  aspects  of
human  dilemmas  without excluding from consideration  the
relevant  objective  facts which are part of  the  context
within which the dilemmas exist.   People who are prone to
any kind of exclusivity are unlikely to lead wisely in the
presence  of a human dilemma.   Thus technocrats  are  not
wise  leaders  in  the face of dilemmas,   no  matter  how
respected they may be as highly trained technicians.
