• The need-Our societal problems might combine with the multifold trend to create
the need for such a friendly sort of totalitarianism. Perhaps this feeling of benign
need was presaged in a recent statement by the White House Chief of Telecommunications:
"A great many people in '1984' like what Big Brother was doing
because he was doing it in their interest and concern" (Whitehead, 1973).
• The ability-Although one may fault the metaphysical implications of behavior
modification, one cannot deny that it works. Today we are seeing the rapid
emergence of "psycho-technologies" which could efficiently shape and modify patterns
of behavior as well as motivational and emotional states. This could take the
form of directed emotional conditioning in childhood; objectively constructed reinforcement
patterns in adult life; the use of a wide variety of drugs; electrical brain
implants; the modification of genetic makeup to activate different human potentials;
the use of sophisticated electronic surveillance mechanisms to detect "aberrant"
behavior patterns.
• A supportive image of man-The use of and dependence upon such psycho-technologies
might well lead gradually to a pernicious form of the extrapolationist image
of man. This is plausible in a self-validating way, since many aspects of the current
form of the extrapolationist image seem supportive of the increasing use and
dependence upon these technologies. Man is viewed as a sophisticated machine
(therefore, master human nature as we have mastered physical nature); man is
thought to be largely determined in his behavior (therefore, objectively shape his
behavior in the most efficient way); man is innately antisocial (therefore, restrain
antisocial tendencies with the aid of new technologies); individual man is subordinate
to the needs of the collective (therefore, impose upon the individual whatever is to
the benefit of the larger society).
• The acquiescence-Many psycho-technologies are already in limited use in our society
and they would appear to be quite palatable to the general public if they were
assimilated gradually while being couched in the appropriate language; e.g. rather
than discuss the control of emotional and motivational states, we can talk of insuring
peace and harmony by modifying the behavior of those "irrational" persons who
threaten the stability and security of our society.
