People who are operating out of paradigms of fear, insecurity, defensiveness, manipulation and attempts to be in control---find it unthinkable to seek to be fully true to themselves and each other; and therefore find it unthinkable to assume that they might be essentially inter-connected people---rather than as essentially dis- connected collections of elementary objects functioning according to deterministic laws of objective processes. When people are operating out of essentially different paradigms---essentially different sets of ultimate assumptions and ultimate beliefs---it is difficult for them to recognize, acknowledge and/or talk about their contrasting sets of ultimate assumptions. Some of them are far more likely to ridicule each other while refusing to recognize, acknowledge and/or talk about each other's differing ultimate assumptions, beliefs and convictions. Often it is difficult for us to openly and honestly consider an alternative hypothesis which is based upon essentially different sets of ultimate assumptions and ultimate beliefs---and so we express our own narrow and limiting paradigm by asking only those questions which are consistent with the assumptions and ultimate beliefs upon which our own paradigm is based. We blind ourselves to the evidence in support of contrasting assumptions and ultimate beliefs---and claim that alternative liberating paradigms are unreasonable. In fact many alternative paradigms only appear unreasonable to us---because we blindly refuse to consider the assumptions and beliefs which would free us, return our ability to see and be in dialogue, and so return us from alienative objectivity to integrative Love as a working hypothesis. Thus scientists, technocrats and those who admire their ways, are often trapped in what appears to be unbiased objectivity, when they are actually blinded by an exclusive paradigm which prevents them from even considering alternative hypotheses.
