The myth of objectivity says that the responsibility for the use of the fruits of science and technology lie with the end-use people who use the fruits, not in any way with the people who maintain the objective paradigm according to which reflexive personal and spiritual relationships are less real/important than are objects and objective relationships. The myth of objectivity is clearly a reflexive reality---for it is maintained by compulsively objective people to their own advantage, while pretending that the myth is an objective reality which transcends the possibility of reflexive bias. Compulsively objective people blind themselves to the possibility that their myth of objectivity is a reflexive reality which sets the stage for violent manipulative personal relationships. Because of the myth people are often treated as separated objects worthy of destruction---rather than as as reflexive expressions of one cosmic whole within integrative personal relationships. If the roots of tragic technocratic violence are not feed by scientific research and technological developments; perhaps the roots are feed by the maintenance of the reflexive myth of objectivity which makes it seem natural to treat people objectively---as if people are isolated objects worthy of destruction--- rather than as reflexive expressions of one whole cosmic being. People who make ultimate assumptions which lead to self fulfilling prophesies should be honest about the fact that their ultimate assumptions are assumptions; rather than demonstrated objective facts which are independent of all assumptions. Objectivists should be asked to openly and honestly describe their most fundamental assumptions, their nature; and the consequences of the assumptions which they make and dishonestly pretend to be demonstrated facts.
