The "ends" justify the "means". Then they come to believe that once the "means" have been justified they are inherently justified and that any ends which may be achieved by justified "means" must be good ends. In this way justified "means" come to justify new "ends". By this chain of logic all kinds of means and ends can be woven into a prison which keeps the faithful from seeing clearly what is and what is not alienative; evil. Technocrats tend to be preoccupied with means, and unconcerned about clarifying values in terms of which to evaluate goals, ideals, desires, etc. Technocrats come to value means in and of themselves, and so then value the goals which their valued means put within reach. They regard as good those goals which their valued means make attainable, even if using those means to strive for the goals result in human alienation and the undermining of personal and communal integrity. They are not clear about ultimate values and so cannot evaluate the consequences of using their valued means. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
