The limits of technique are more profound than the limits of particular techniques. All techniques are limited in some similar ways, by virtue of being techniques. The wise technician recognizes the common limitations of all techniques, and does not glorify technique as the means to all that is desirable. Technique has to do with how to achieve an already chosen and defined goal. Once a commitment has been made to achieve a goal, technique may provide the means of achieving the defined goal. However, technique cannot guarantee that the achievement of the technically defined goal will be as meaningful and satisfying as anticipated. In the process of technically defining a goal it is likely that the question of personal meaning, satisfaction and significance will be eliminated from consideration; because techniques cannot guarantee meaning, satisfaction, significance, etc. All techniques deal with technical considerations; but not with meaning, satisfaction, significance, redemption, salvation, etc. Techniques which presume to transcend the limitations of technique are dishonest, and lead to personal and communal disintegration. People who are likewise presumptuous are thereby technocrats, even if they are technically incompetent. Technocrats are people who put their trust in techniques and glorify techniques as means to gaining control over realities which cannot be controlled. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
