The proper purpose of education within a society is to facilitate the development of mutual awareness and mutual understandings of the nature of reality --- including the nature of man, society, knowledge, and the natural cosmos. Thus educators must deal with what are perceived as the natural consequences of various possible decisions and actions. The long term viability of a society depends upon it being free of debilitating collusions---regarding the nature of reality and the natural consequences which flow from human decisions and actions because of the nature of reality. How are persons of wisdom to transcend the narrow perspective of their own society---without becoming the victims of the narrow perspective of society? Rationalists and arationalists; capitalists and communists; militarists and pacifists; swingers and moralists: how are they to profit from each other's experiences, mutual awareness and mutual understanding --- without becoming the victims of what enslaves the other. All must come to a more comprehensive mutual awareness and understanding of the natural consequences of being human and of participating in decisions and actions about dealing with finitude. Wise decisions and actions will be possible only in fail-safe contexts within which all seek to understand and facilitate the positive contributions which others seek to offer. Any preoccupation with the knowledge of good and evil will generate alienation which will inhibit the dialogue which is essential to mutual enlightenment. Such a state of consciousness will tend to cause the course of human events to be dominated by technocrats playing games with increasingly sophisticated theories, equipment, power, and associated dangers. The way out of the natural consequences of that state of consciousness is not a fail- safe technique (for none exists) but fail-safe human states of consciousness and value systems.
