Games of mutual self deception are essential to the maintenance of their conception of reality. They must keep themselves from having insights which are contradictory to their conception of reality. Scientists' conceptions of reality are thoroughly cognitive, intellectual, objective, and quantitative. Their conception would not seem as important to them if they were to have emotions and feelings which they respected and regarded as of great importance. Their cognitive conception would not seem so meaningful and significant were they to have personally meaningful and significant intimate relationships full of healthy emotions and affective conversations. Such conversations might convert them, turn them around, and cause them to abandon the exclusive games of mutual self deception which are the essence of their collusions. Thus scientists' conception of reality comes to be used in its own defense. Many scientists use the techniques of objectification and quantification as devices with which to defend their conception of reality against the threats of emotional, affective, and intuitive insights. They require that all insights be validated by objective and quantitative technologies before they are respected. For many scientists objectivity and quantifications are defenses against the threat of insights which might undermine their games of mutual self deception. Objectivity and quantification are technologies which can be used to repress open and honest perceptions of the dishonest games of mutual self deception which originate in feelings and emotional visions. The technologies of scientists can be used as means of repressing the emotional and affective insights which might undermine the scientists' exclusive conception of the nature of reality. To escape from the prison of scientists' objective and quantitative paradigm the prisoners need to recognize the disintegrative consequences of choosing to remain in the prison. They must decide to escape from the prison, and to seek ways to transcend the assumptions, ideals, values, principles, presuppositions, attitudes, etc., which hold them prisoner. Prisoners need to start to recognize the dynamics of the process which created and maintains the collusive games of self deception as respectable patterns of behavior. When the integrity of the patters is seen to be a flawed, it is possible to identify the cracks in the wall and to see how to push on the walls and knock them down without getting hurt. If the nature of the structure of the walls of the prison is not understood there is the danger that in trying to break out of the prison the walls of the prison will fall in upon the prisoners and destroy them in a catastrophic disintegration of global proportions.
