     %COMPULSIVE PERFECT OBJECTIVITY FREE FROM BIAS+950722
     %ENTRAPMENT PRISON JAIL DOUBLE BIND STUCK FAIL 950722

     People  who  seek  to be perfectly objective  at  all
times in order to be  free from bias---cannot think about,
talk about or write about their ideals,  values, attitudes
and  assumptions---for to do so would entail non-objective
behavior.   If  they   have made any mistakes in  adopting
their  ideals,   values,  attitudes and  assumptions  they
cannot reconsider,  discover and correct their mistakes---
for to do so would entail non-objective behavior.

     People who gather together to work together under the
tacit  assumption that they can be perfectly objective  at
all times---thereby entrap themselves in  a  non-objective
trap  which they cannot see,  think about,  talk about  or
write  about---for  to  do so would  entail  non-objective
behavior.

     To  avoid getting trapped in a non-objective trap  we
need  to  know  how  to  engage  wisely  in  non-objective
behavior---which entails recognizing,  naming, describing,
thinking  about,   talking  about and writing  about  non-
objective  traps---which traps might trap us in the double
bind  of  being inside the  non-objective  reality---which
forbids  us to see the non-objective trap which  imprisons
us.

     Any  paradigm  which inhibits the best embodiments of
the paradigm and prevents them from examining the paradigm
and its fruits in non-objective ways---is likely to entrap
people  in  the paradigm as an invisible  prison.    Young
people  need  to be educated to recognize such a  paradigm
from a safe distance before they enter such an imprisoning
paradigm.    Each liberal arts college should regard  such
education as an essential aspect if its program.
