Their childhood recording of what is needful includes many occasions of frustration in the face of lack of things. "If only we had certain things we could do what needs to be done." was often recorded in the child. The uncritical childish interpretation which is recorded in the child is something like, "To do what is needful, accumulate the necessary things." The immature child can not perceive the complex of decisions and actions necessary to fulfill the potential of the things which are accumulated. Thus the recording in the child pertains to accumulation, but not to wise use. The modern older person (whose child recordings are of the above sort) is likely to excel in the accumulation of things---especially if there is not a conscious awareness of how such childhood recordings dominate motivation and thoughtless interpretations. Whereas the present older generation faced the problem of an inadequacy of things, the present younger generation faces a crisis in affluence. The present older generation has had little if any experience in dealing wisely with a crisis in affluence. This is a new dilemma which calls for new questions. (Dilemmas are not problems. Problems are not dilemmas.) The old questions and motivations are often irrelevant. The crisis in affluence will not be solved by additional accumulations, not even by additional accumulations of information and/or its clever technocratic management via new techniques. Yet our economic system and other tradition encourage such irrelevant behavior. Technocrats living within a technocratic state of consciousness can not honestly ask the new questions which will resolve the crisis in affluence; they are not free to see the realities which demand---new questions which will be asked by attractive scientists who can put things into the perspective of intimate relationships--- by entering into dialogue with persons in a variety of states of consciousness. The evolution of our technocratic society into a humane society can become possible only through the political actions of such attractive scientists. Only they can help organize group discussions for setting priorities around timely new questions. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
