The practical uses of aspirin have long been known without any knowledge of the details of why aspirin has those practical uses. The practicality of certain reflexive belief systems and patterns of attitude have long been known and put to practical use---without any detailed articulations of how and why those attitudes and belief systems are practical. Because they are reflexive belief systems it is essentially impossible to prove in an objective way why they are practical. It is futile to look for objective cause-and-effect relationships between a practical reflexive belief system and its fruits. Such reflexive practicality cannot be studied objectively because it is outside the realm which can be understood objectively with personal detachment. The objective scientific paradigm is based upon certain reflexive assumptions, attitudes, and beliefs. The foundations for scientific objectivity are reflexive. It is thus futile to search for objective cause-and-effect relationships between the reflexive assumptions, attitudes and beliefs which are the foundation for the objective scientific paradigm. Such a search would by its nature be essentially reflexive; not objectively scientific. The motivation and guidance for the search would be reflexive; for the searchers could not detach themselves from it since they would be committed to the assumptions, attitudes and beliefs under analysis as the basis for carrying out an analysis of the basis for their own analysis. Such reflexivity is reflected upon at great length in the book "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R Hofsteader". (c) 2005 by Paul A.
