Many intellectuals become deeply upset emotionally at the suggestion that emotional considerations should play a determinative role in guiding decisions and action without intellectual considerations having final control in drawing conclusions and making decisions. There is an alienative tendency towards the exclusivity of either/or logic. Either an action is right, or it is wrong. Either a person is acceptable, or the person is to be rejected. Either a statement is true, or it is false. Either a behavior is permissible, or it is not. Bi- polar logic tends to reduce all considerations to yes, or no; and ultimately to issues which can be computed correctly by bi-polar computers without doing violence to the nature of the issues. People who have a tendency towards bi-polar intellectual control thereby tend to ignore, if not deprecate, all aspects of human life which cannot be controlled by bi-polar intellectual analysis. For this reason they dismiss intuition, creativity, imagination, visions, fantasy, emotions, sexuality, affection, hunger, etc. After such dismissals they are left with only issues which can be dealt with successfully through bi-polar intellectual control. They regard such success as proof of the universal validity of their methodology, because it works in all cases of any importance. Once bi-polar intellectual control is achieved over human lives, the intellectuals tend to worship all values which affirm the importance of tradition, authority, stability, continuity, scholarship, precedence, logic, rationality, previous training, etc. These values tend to assure that the achievement of bi-polar intellectual control will not be lost, thus humanity will not slip back to irrational and uninformed behavior patterns dominated by illogical passions and emotions which cannot be trusted as guides to proper behavior. In this way the political dominance of intellectuals is assured forever. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
