A degree of anonymity is used to help protect the repentant extremists from unwise criticism. Fellowship with others who have experienced the extremist's life---is promoted as a means of support and realism. Together the reformed extremist and the repentant extremist seek a new life in better balance than they had before. Scientists and others who have gone to great extremes in their specialization towards objectivity, analysis, manipulations, quantifications, calculations, etc.--- are discovering that their extreme orientations occasion many human problems. Some are repenting the arrogance of their former extremism/exclusivity---and are in need of protection from unwise criticism---from unrepentant scientists and from people who have never knowingly suffered the extremes of scientism. Those who disavow the idolatry of scientism need to find fellowship and support from others who have come to see the idolatry for what it is. Seeking such fellowship and support is much like breaking out of the jail of scientism's collusions---and is a risky venture. Often it must be done anonymously---for it is not clear who will be friendly to the escape from the extremism of scientism. Members of the immediate family, influential relatives, business peers, academic peers, administrative superiors, etc.---are all possible unwise and or unfair critics who may take steps to inhibit the escape from scientism---for the escape will threaten their participation in the idolatrous collusions and call into question their "successful" world-view. The best way to understand perverted behavior is through the eyes of a reformed pervert. Those who would like to extend human understanding of the reasons for involvement in scientism---will do well to seek out and encourage people who are in the process of escaping from the collusions and perverted perspectives of scientism--- and get first-hand reports of what the journey into and out of scientism has been like. Such knowledge may be helpful in efforts to avoid the dangers of whole societies becoming technocratic in their approach to internal domestic problems and in their approach to national security.
