    Compulsively  objective  people  often take  pride  in
their  exclusive  bias  against  reflexive  considerations
which point back to themselves as persons.  They often try
to believe that their  ways  of  knowing,   predicting and
controlling  are superior to other people's ways of  being
themselves---by  virtue of  how  they  themselves  exclude
themselves    from    their   own    considerations    and
consciousness.   They try to  forget that in making  their
judgments of  superiority  of ways---they are  engaged  in
reflexive   considerations.     They  do  not honestly and
favorably   distinguish  themselves  from  other  by   not
engaging  in  reflexive  considerations.    Rather,   they
distinguish  themselves  from  others by  refusing  to  be
honest about how they  engage in reflexive considerations.
Such  a  distinction does not merit respect or support  of
any kind.

    It   is   not   possible   to   understand   reflexive
relationships   in  terms  of  an  exclusively   objective
paradigm;   thus,  people who are  compulsively  objective
often  deny  the reality of  reflexive  relationships---or
else they deny the importance of reflexive  relationships.
They   are   too  embarrassed  to  deal   with   reflexive
relationships,    and too embarrassed to acknowledge their
own reflexive  embarrassment.    Thus their objectivity is
limiting rather than liberating.  Objectivity is incapable
of encompassing  reflexivity, while reflexivity is capable
of encompassing  objectivity.    Objectivity is exclusive,
while reflexivity is inclusive.  The range of the kinds of
understanding  which objectivity can  facilitate  is  much
more  limited---than  is  the  range  of   the   kinds  of
understanding which reflexivity can facilitate.
