Most cultures implicitly teach the infants and children that certain experiences are taboo, and that dialogue about being participant in such experiences is taboo; so adults in the culture experience guilt upon having memories of, and giving consideration to, their participation in such experiences. The culture is defined in large part by what experiences it cannot openly and publicly integrate into the collective community consciousness. In each culture there are open and covert messages as to what is most important. If what is most important does not include all that is essential to personal and communal integrity, the culture disintegrates; integrity is sacrificed to serve that which the culture regards as most important. The dishonest service of what appears to be most important leads directly to personal and communal disintegration in such cultures. People who are trapped in such cultural patterns are participants in collusions; games of addictive mutual self deception. Dishonesty with self and others is normal in such cultures; there are conventional forms of dishonesty which are regarded and proper, and are properly rewarded. The educational systems of such cultures teach what forms of dishonesty are normal and proper, and what forms of dishonesty are abnormal and improper. In the latter category of dishonesty fall attempts to point to disintegrative aspects of the culture. People who seek to call attention to cultural disintegration caused by some forms of dishonesty are regarded as out of touch with some of the most important truths of the culture, and extreme communal pressure is brought to bear upon them to straighten them out; to get them to behave properly in terms of the cultural norms.
