In  his book "THE DISMAL SCIENCE";  "How Thinking Like  an
Economist   Undermines  Community"   Stephen  A.   Marglin
describes  some  of  the  Alienative-Consequences  of   of
Domineering-Bullies   focusing  Unbalanced-Attention  upon
Monetary-Computations  in  the  process  of  Concentrating
Unbalanced-Power into their own Greedy-Hands.

There  are  other ways in which  Domineering-Bullies  have
focused    Unbalanced-Attention    upon     Computational-
Considerations in the process of Concentrating Unbalanced-
Power  into their own Greedy-Hands.

These   other  ways  are embedded  in  the  Exact-Sciences
which  are   preoccupied   with    Concentrating-Attention
upon   Measurable-Quantities     and   Computations    and
Mathematical-Representations  of Reality ---  primarily in
terms   of   those  aspects  of  Reality  which   can   be
Communicated  and thought about in the Languages of  Pure-
Mathematics ---

Which cannot adequately deal with the Essential-Aspects of
Intimate-Relationships    that    are    Essential-Within:
Friendships, Spirituality,   Personal-Bonding,   Communal-
Integrities/Integrations; and Essential-Within   Personal-
Integrities/Integrations, Affections, Sexuality, etc.

Focusing-Attention  Exclusively-Within  Domains-of-Reality
having  to do with Measurements-and-Computations generates
Alienative-Behaviors which UNDERMINE-COMMUNITY --- and SO-
UNDERMINE:  Friendships, Spirituality,   Personal-Bonding,
Communal-Integrities/Integrations;   and  Essential-Within
Personal-Integrities/Integrations,  Affections, Sexuality,
etc.

ECONOMICS has traditionally been called a  SOCIAL-SCIENCE;
along with Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology,  Politics,
and other efforts  to Understand, Predict,  and Manipulate
human  behaviors and humane relationships in imitation  of
the   EXACT-SCIENCES   which  carefully   avoid   focusing
attention on: Friendships, Spirituality, Personal-Bonding,
Communal-Integrities/Integrations;   and  Essential-Within
Personal-Integrities/Integrations,  Affections, Sexuality,
etc.

The  points which S.  A.  Marglin makes in his  book  "The
Dismal Science"  are relevant to the efforts of the Social
Sciences in general; to the extent that they are dominated
by    Domineering-Bullies   who   are   preoccupied   with
Concentrating Wealth and Power into their own hands,   and
into the hands of their "Best-Friends".

In  the  above  what  is Predominant  is  the  pattern  of
defining  GOOD in EXCLUSIVE-TERMS;  in terms  of  What-is-
EXCLUDED from Favorable-Considerations; e.g.:

 1.  Immeasurable-Realities,
 2.  Non-Quantitative-Communications and Languages,
 3.  Non-Predictable-Consequences,
 4.  Non-Predictable-Evolutions,
 5.  Non-Predictable-Devolutions,
 6.  Non-Predictable-Developments,
 7.  Non-Predictable-Relationships,
 8.  Non-Predictable-Intimacies,
 9.  Non-Predictable-Creations,
10.  Non-Predictable-Friendships,
11.  Non-Predictable-Bondings,
12.  Non-Predictable-Integrations,
13.  Non-Predictable-Integrities.

What is Non-Predictable cannot be Dominated/Controlled.

Focusing  EXCLUSIVELY  on Predictable-Realities  give  the
advantages  to  Domineering-Bullies and  their  Collusive-
Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception as they Concentrate-Wealth-
and-Power into their own Greedy-Hands.

The   result  of  Focusing  EXCLUSIVELY  on   Predictable-
Realities ---  is that THEN FEW of the following gets much
Gracious-Attention --- in ANY of the Many-Ways-of-Shalom -
--- in Being-Graciously-Together in Non-Quantitative-Ways:

 1.  Personal Integrations-and-Integrities.
 2.  Communal Integrations-and-Integrities.
 3.  Healthy Friendships, Intimacies, Sexuality, Bondings.
 4.  Creativity, Hospitality, Generosity, Reconciliations.
 5.  Conflict-Resolutions, Peacemaking, Cooperation.
 6.  Values-Clarifications and Integrations.
 7.  Learning from Mistakes and Tragedies.
 8.  Learning from Personal Experiences and Mediations.
 9.  Reflexive-Systems-Analyses by Cooperative True-Lovers
10.  Open and Honest Dialogue with Previous-Strangers.

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

                         (c) 2008 by Paul A. Smith in
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
