     The  value  of  human knowledge  depends  upon  human
choices regarding ideals,  values, principles, goals, etc.
Facts  in isolation from a communal context have no value.
Their  value  depends upon how communities and members  of
communities regard facts, knowledge and wisdom.

     Communities and their members may fixate upon  facts,
knowledge and technologies---and worship the three.  Human
decisions may lead to the three being treated as  idols in
an idolatry which  cannot  control the consequences of the
idolatry.    Or humans may make open and honest  decisions
which lead to personal and  communal  integrity in regards
to facts, knowledge and technologies.

     The  values of facts,  knowledge and technologies  do
not exit  as objective realities in isolation from  humans
and their communities.  The values of facts, knowledge and
technologies  depend  upon  how humans relate to them  and
make  decisions.  The values are reflexive realities which
can  be  understood  only  through  participation  in  the
relationships of the communities and their members as they
regard the facts, knowledge and technologies.
