   %GOAL ALIENATE INTEGRATE JUDGEMENT REJECT ACCEPT 940221

    It   is   important  to  recognize  and  respect   the
difference  between integrative judgements and  alienative
judgements.

    Integrative   judgements  facilitate   and   encourage
personal  and  communal integrity---by dealing openly  and
honestly  with the natural consequences of  decisions  and
actions.  Through integrative judgements people learn from
mistakes   and   become  wise  in  very  practical   ways,
minimizing repeated mistakes.

    Alienative judgements create barriers between  people,
discourage  communication,  inhibit openness and  honesty,
and encourage the development of collusive games of mutual
self    deception.      Alienative    judgements    entail
condemnation,   shaming  and  guilting  ---  which inhibit
learning from mistakes;  so mistakes are repeated over and
over.   The self righteous people who engage in alienative
judgements  refuse to deal openly and  honestly  with  the
fact  that  they  are engendering alienation and  all  the
dysfunctional   types   of   behavior   which   alienation
generates.

    Important  as  the differences between alienative  and
integrative judgements are,  it is  exceedingly  difficult
for  people  who  have  been trained  to  be  compulsively
objective to recognize and deal with those  differences---
because  the  differences are essentially reflexive;   the
opposite   of  objective.    According  to   objectivists'
training it is taboo to  openly  and  honestly  deal  with
reflexive realities.   Thus such people traditionally play
collusive  games  of mutual self deception and ignore  the
differences between alienative and integrative judgements-
--and  so  are both confused and misleading when they play
the  role  of invited expert in  situations  which  entail
alienative judgements.  Often technical experts ignore the
differences between alienative and integrative judgements-
--in     scientific     research laboratories, engineering
projects,  churches, political situations,  and humanistic
endeavors.
