     Compulsively  objective  scientists are dedicated  to
the  myth  that  there  is a single  objectively  knowable
reality  ---  and that it is important for us to  discover
just  what   that  reality  is  by  the  use   of   proper
research procedures, tools, and technologies.

     Compulsively objective scientists usually ignore  the
following facts about  differences between human observers
of   reality ---  in order to  make it easier to  maintain
their  myth   of objectivity and lack of  bias.      Human
observers differ in regards to:

     1.  Heredity which affects thought processes;   e.g.,
object-oriented versus person-oriented people.

     2.  Sensitivities of sense organs which affect  which
frequencies of sound and light are detected;  e.g.,  color
blindness.

     3.  Personal  histories which affect  interpretations
of new experiences.

     4.  Internalized ideals and values which affect which
sense organ sensations are focused upon more than others.

     5.  Cultural backgrounds which lead to different foci
of attention.

     6.  Language which affect the structuring of  thought
processes and articulations.

     7.  Educational training  which  lead to the  use  of
differing paradigms in the analysis of experiences.

     8.  Religious backgrounds  which  lead  to  different
dispositions in interpreting observations.

     Different    people    approach    their    differing
environments in different ways.   The only way to generate
total  agreement  regarding the "nature of reality"  is to
get  a  select group of people who are very much alike  to
agree to work in terms of one common myth and methodology.
Full  agreement  in the determination of  the  "nature  of
reality" is generated by being selective in regards to the
personal  characteristics  of  the  participants  in   the
"determination" and by agreement among the participants in
regards  to the research:  methods,  tools,  technologies,
language    and   modes   of   publication.      Such    a
"determination" is of course not universal  because of the
selective/exclusive aspects of the "determination."
