People  who have lived within contrasting paradigms  quite
successfully;  often function within and in terms of quite
different:

 1.  Languages, vocabularies, syntaxes, and concepts.

 2.  Assumptions, attitudes, intentions, desires, hopes.

 3.  Expectations and conceptions of cause-and-effect.

When  such  people  interact at the  boundaries  of  their
respective "territories" they are bound to have difficulty
with  miss-matches  between what is  unconsciously  agreed
upon in different ways within their different territories.
It  is difficult for them to become aware of what are  the
differences between what is "obvious" in different ways.

Professionally-Trained  Outstanding-Scientists  and  Good-
Informal-Facilitators of Conflict-Resolution ( Peacemakers
in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom ) have lived within contrasting
paradigms.   The following suggest some of the differences
between them --- that may not be obvious to the members of
their Two-Cultures.

Scientists' Primary-Foci-of-Professional-Concerns have NOT
OFTEN included REFLEXIVE-REALITIES such as:  Expectations,
Attitudes, Intentions, Desires, Hopes,  Fears,  Anxieties,
Pleasures,    Pains,   Anger,   Resentment,    Alienation,
Apologies,  Repentance,  Revenge, Estrangement,  etc.  ---
which are NOT-OBJECTIVE-REALITIES.

Good-Informal-Facilitators   of   Good-Conflict-Resolution
(Peacemakers in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom  )  are NOT-LIKELY
to  have focused  Primarily in Formal-Ways upon OBJECTIVE-
REALITIES such as:   Inanimate-Objects,  Collisions-Among-
Them,   Electrons,   Protons,  Neutrons,  Nuclei,   Atoms,
Molecules;  Gases, Liquids, Solids, Plazmas;  Newton-Laws-
of-Motion,  Maxwell's-Equations,  Thermodynamics, Electro-
Magnetic-Interactions, Charges, Conservation-Laws, Energy,
Momentum and other Inter-Related-Objective-Realities;  nor
on the Languages of Mathematics-and-Computations.

The  Two-Cultures  Primary-Foci  overlap in only  marginal
ways which are not central to their focal concerns.  Where
they  may  use   the   same  written-spoken words-symbols-
pointers  the meanings  of the words-symbols-pointers  are
likely  to be different within the TWO-DIFFERENT-CULTURES,
for  most of the members  of  the  TWO-DIFFERENT-CULTURES.
(Granted that there are  exceptional  persons  who live in
the margins of both cultures.)

For  the majority of the members of both cultures there is
a  need  to dig down below the surface of their  misunder-
standings, conflicts, alienations, frustrations, fears and
anxieties  ---  to cooperate in identifying the particular
realities  noted  above ---  which they do  NOT  share  in
common in any comfortable-cooperative ways.

It may be helpful for members of both contrasting cultures
to  describe  to each other what they perceive to  be  the
Differences-Between    Healthy-Responses  to   Alienative-
Behaviors     and   Un-Healthy-Responses  to   Alienative-
Behaviors --- about which they know something.

It may be helpful for members of both contrasting cultures
to describe in their own words what they mean by their own
words;  and ask each other to confirm that they understood
what  each other speaking in their own words ---   through
agreed  upon  paraphrases offered in their own  words  ---
with all the risks entailed therein.

     Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
