According to the hypothesis "The Domination System" is NOT an objective reality which can be analyzed and understood in objective/scientific terms. According to the hypothesis it is NOT clearly discerned and honestly described by traditional: religious leaders, business leaders or political leaders. According to the hypothesis only people who graciously transcend and subvert the dominant ways of supporters of "The Domination System" will be able to cooperate with each other effectively in making clear the nature of "The Domination System" and its dishonest ways. According to the hypothesis "The Domination System" is a self-concealing reflexive reality which is NOT perceived by those people who are most affected by it; those who are its most faithful supporters and victims. To the extent that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely: 1. Powerful people will be unable to perceive how they have become corrupted. 2. Powerful people will be victims of their own corruption. 3. Poor people will be "blinded", made "deaf" and be unable to escape from the domination of powerful people. 4. Sick people will be unable to become well and reconciled. 5. Hungry people will lack food, water, support, acceptance, affection and love. 6. Imprisoned people will be unable to transcend their various kinds of imprisonments. 7. The people who achieve invulnerability will be the most defensive people and the most insecure. 8. The people who know Love will be the most secure in being safely vulnerable with each other. 9. The people who are most familiar with each other's real personal experiences --- will be the least dogmatic about the truths which they know and the most tolerant towards different people. 10. True lovers will be more effective in promoting and facilitating "law and order" than will those who are preoccupied with laws and orders. 11. Thee more singularly/exclusively committed anyone is to any one dominant ideal, value, principle, law or command --- the less they will be able to perceive how hopeless and futile their ways of relating to others are. 12. The more narrowly focused people are upon objectivity, measurements, analysis, computations, predictions, certainty, laws, commandments, boundaries, purity, perfection, cleanliness, religion, traditions, institutions, etc. --- the greater their tendencies are towards personal and communal disintegration. 13. "The Domination System" is dysfunctional. It does not offer a paradigm within which people can work coherently and/or cooperatively in fulfilling explicit and/or implicit promises made by "The Domination System". 14. The "Domination System" engenders alienations, estrangements, conflicts and confusion --- which undermine the possibility of participant-victims being able to deal with challenges and crises in ways which are honest, informed, prudent and wise. 15. Powerful people will encourage true lovers to over-extend themselves and to sacrifice their health, personal integrity and personal integrity --- in futile efforts to save, rescue, love and take-care-of people who resent such efforts. Such over-extensions in the end are supportive of "The Domination System" --- because the people who might otherwise understand, transcend and subvert "The Domination System" are thereby weakened, sickened, confused, diverted, and and misled into futile efforts --- so that they are no longer threats to the "integrity" of "The Domination System".
