Rarely do science texts examine the personal lives, the families of origin or the emotionally dysfunctional aspects of those families which played a central role in laying the foundations for scientists' professional motivations. Such examinations are taboo, because they would lead to the exposure of the collusive games of mutual self deception which characterize research addicts. Many scientists want to appear to be perfectly rational in all that they do. The educational process of new scientists serves the purpose of helping the next generation of scientists to believe that their historic leaders were perfectly rational, logical, systematic men who were in search of the ultimate truth about the universe. This calls for a process of rationalization; making what was not purely rational appear to have been purely rational. This dishonest process is an essential aspect of the collusive games of mutual self deception of research addicts. Research addicts want to believe that their efforts are pure efforts which are designed to serve Nobel causes, and they hope that they will gain recognition to the extent of receiving Nobel Prizes. Their deep yearning for such social recognition of them as persons is often rooted in their childhood experiences in families of origin which were emotionally dysfunctional; but such motivations are not mentioned in text books. Careful consideration of the motivation of research addicts would not serve the purpose of rationalization of the research addicts' enterprise. Research addicts are seeking to be perfectly objective. We cannot be perfectly objective when we are engaged in reflexive considerations. Considerations of our dysfunctional families of origin, or of the families of origin of our professional heroes would involve us in imperfect reflexive considerations; certainly not the way to win a Nobel Prize! Such considerations must be avoided. We must avoid all appearances of bias and strive to be perfectly objective at all times! That is the only rational thing to do. Science text books make clear that our research leaders were perfectly rational; so we also should strive to be perfectly rational scientists, engaged in the purest research which we can conceive. What other choice could we possibly make? (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
