The exclusivity of their objective orientation focuses their attention upon inappropriate concerns: goals, planning, control, certainty, measurement, analysis, analyzed systems, analytic "wholism", legalism, moralism, scientism, theology, etc. They focus their attention upon parts, not upon the whole. They deal with individual isolated people, not with the relationships which create people with integrity. Technocrats focus upon individual human decisions and actions, exclusive of the contexts which give meaning to humane decisions and actions. Legalists attempt to guarantee minimum standards of good behavior---by forbidding specified individual visions, fantasies, decisions, and actions. Legalists are usually blind to the central role which personal relationships play in the humane contexts which give meaning to living. In the their attempt to control personal individual behavior, they undermine the integrity of the contexts which promote meaning and satisfaction. While fragmenting communities, they promote the alienation, sin, which occasions the kinds of behavior they ostensibly seek to prevent. Exclusively objective approaches to human relationships are counterproductive. When legalists forbid certain kinds of human relationships, they so pervert the contexts of those relationships that it becomes very difficult to determine whether or not those relationships are, or are not, helpful. Often legalists transform expectations regarding relationships so as to make self-fulfilling prohibitions; i.e., prohibitions which create the conditions which justify the prohibition. By making certain relationships illegal, the technocrat insures that the consequence of individual decisions to seek such relationships will justify the conclusion that those relationships should be illegal. Objective analysis is not the way to transcend the self-defeating pattern created by their seeking to control human behavior with the aid of objective analysis. We need creative people to help in transcending the objective exclusivity of those believers who idolize science, without knowing the religious nature of their faith. Exclusively subjective people cannot offer us the needed help. Attractive scientists can help. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
