It is true that without adequate means/techniques and resources it is impossible to fulfill many worthy values, ideals, goals and ends. It is true that integrative values, ideals, goals and ends give direction to the selection and use of means/techniques. It is also true that through the process of learning to value means/techniques/tools for what they make possible, we often come to regard means/techniques as inherently worthy of respect, honor, valuing, idealization, celebration, worship and/or idolization. In any one community, culture, society, time and place it is often not clear when means/techniques/tools have become values, ideals, goals and ends which are not subject to critical appraisal as regards the consequences of celebrating them in the community. If such is the case, care needs to be taken to examine what is happening in the community to see if it is a technocratic community which is worshipping means/techniques/tools through collusive games of mutual self deception regarding what they can provide.
