Paradigms often demand exclusive commitments to ideas, ideals and values which show little if any respect for openness, honesty, personal integrity or communal integrity. To buy into such a paradigm is often to buy into a prison from which we cannot thereafter escape without great effort sacrifice. The primary problem is that once we have bought into such a prison our motivation to escape is likely to be minimal---because we cannot see that we are entrapped, imprisoned, and the victims of dishonesty and disintegration of our own making.
