They are ridiculed because so few people have them, and therefore objectively oriented people doubt their validity. Those few people who do experience ridiculed perceptions are regarded as "strange". They perceive "things" which normal people do not perceive. Their perceptions are called into question, as is their integrity. Such ridiculed people must prove themselves to be objectively oriented before their "strange perceptions" will be taken seriously. Then they will be "free" to make objective studies of those who continue to have "strange perceptions", and their objective studies will be taken seriously. Their objective conclusions will "prove" that the "strange perceptions" are not meaningful in any objective sense. Their perceptions will be reduced to objective sensations, and their perceptions will not threaten the objective status quo. It is not easy for anybody to accept a bias-free consideration of ridiculed perceptions. It is hard for objectively oriented people to achieve a bias-free consideration of ridiculed perceptions. The validity of the criticism of ridicule is just in much in doubt---as are the ridiculed perceptions. However, people who accept threatening any perception are NOT likely to be emotionally mature enough to be free of the biases which blinds us to unconventional perceptions. They, in their emotional immaturity, are likely to be vulnerable to conformal social pressures, and so not be free to ridicule perceptions. Their range of perception is narrow, and they cannot see off-to-the-side. Our ridiculed perceptions may someday fit into a pattern which has integrity. Whether or not they can fit will not be clear until they are considered free of bias and ridicule---after those who experience the presently ridiculed perceptions are accepted as whole persons, with a right to honestly report their perceptions free of ridicule. Those who seek healthy objectivity must give up ridicule, and seek instead to promote open and honest dialogue between people who have divergent perceptions and languages. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
