     Much  of  what  merits respect,   honor  and  support
depends  critically  upon highly  structured  patterns  of
behavior  which  put  "things"  in  order.     Many  human
achievements  depend  upon  high levels of  discipline  in
which human behaviors must conform-to-standards  regarding
how  "things"  are done and how they are put into  "order"
according to standard orders.   This is certainly the case
in  scientific  research  and in the  application  of  the
findings  of scientific research by applied-scientists  in
engineering  work.    It is also the case in   many  other
areas of scholarship.                                     
                                                          
     There     is,    however,     a    tension    between
meeting/fulfilling  the above kinds of standards ---   and
promoting  imagination, creativity and authenticity on the
part of the people  who are seeking  to  fulfill  (conform
to)  the above kinds of standards.      Who  has the power
to do both at  the  same time?                            
                                                          
     "The Domination System"  seeks to promote conformity.
Lovers  seek  to  demonstrate  authenticity,   creativity,
spontaneity,  honesty,  etc.  ---  in spite of "The Powers
That  Be"   in support of "The Domination System"   which 
creates  contexts within which it is risky for  lovers  to
think  and act "outside the boxes"  which are  created  by
people who are narrowly focused only upon: order,  orders,
and the promotion of conformity to "good" standards.      
                                                          
     Scientific    research   and   advancements    depend
essentially upon:                                         
                                                          
     1.  The discernment of new possibilities,            
     2.  The formulation of new hypotheses,               
     3.  The generation of new relationships,             
     4.  Honest examinations of new relationships,        
     5.  Free and open discussions of the above,          
     6.  Clarifications of assumptions/attitudes,         
     7.  Publications of all of the above.                
                                                          
     When  "The  Powers That Be"  support "The  Domination
System"   in  protecting "The Domination  System"   which 
promotes conformity, traditions, formalities, etc. --- the
natural  consequences is the inhibition of the above seven
essentials for the advancement of scientific research.    
                                                          
     Overt  and covert dictatorial systems  of  governance
inhibit creativity, experimentation, and honesty about the
results   of  experimentation  in   human   relationships,
governance, and cooperation.  Such systems inhibit:       
                                                          
     1.  Non-conventional forms of intimacy.              
     2.  Non-conformity on the part of artists/musicians. 
     3.  Non-traditional forms of families.               
     4.  Changing the rules which define morality.        
     5.  Crossing boundaries of race, class, religion.    
     6.  Thinking outside of standard boxes/paradigms.    
     7.  Threatening the bad orders which are in place.   
                                                          
     Communities  which  fail  to  deal  with  the   above
tensions  are   unlikely  to be creative in  dealing  with
changes  in their  environments  and communities;  and  so
unable    to   maintain  both  personal    and    communal
integrities  --- as environmental  changes  inevitably  do
occur over long periods of time.                          
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
