If we think that we can control such realities we are playing collusive games of mutual self deception, and are alienated from those whom we think that we are controlling---and do not know them intimately as persons. If we try to control people as if they were objects we are bound to know them only as non-responsive objects and so not know them as responsive persons, and not be informed about any of the above kinds of reflexive realities as they relate to the people whom we are trying to control. We will be ignorant of them. The impossibility of controlling a process depends greatly upon how complex and inter-connected are the elements of the process. Simple unconnected processes are much easier to control than are complex processes which are intricately inter-connected. Human reflexive relationships are complex and intricately inter-connected and so are beyond human control. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
