Of course, Joe's notoriously outrageous, demeaning, and insulting comments--the ones that he tends to spit out spontaneously and with little provocation--are not likely to appear in print form. Many of us have heard these bizarre and embarrassing comments, but may not be able to cite a source in print.

I'm not looking to "catch" Joe in any way, only to get the clearest picture of his philosophy- if you will- that I can.

I would like to understand what the philosophy is. The notion of a guiding secular morality is interesting. Secular morality comes from where? Man? If it is from Man then is it not mutable by men? Can you lie to archive the "purpose." Can you accept student that you realize you have no chance of helping so the the enrollment level stays up so that the purpose can be achieved? Why not?
When Alan Turing (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_turing) broke the LFSR based Enigma (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ULTRA)
One of the first things that the Brits learned was the Luftwaffe's plan to bomb Coventry. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Coventry)
Churchill was faced with a moral dilema: Evacuate Coventry and save lifes and reveal the code had been broken or allow the Nazi's to slaugher the population and protect the secret.
Defeating the Nazis was too important of a purpose, so he allowed people to die.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hyde lies to "archive the purpose." I am sure that there is a continuum of self-awareness regarding this, with some well-meaning inexperienced junior faculty fooling themselves about what they are really doing, and some of the more cynical diehards rationalizing that the ends justify the means (and the little bastard deserves it anyway).

"To my mind the most serious threat posed by the technology of behavior modification is the power this technology gives one man to impose his views and values on another. . . If our society is to remain free, one man must not be empowered to change another's personality and dictate the values, thoughts, and feelings of another."
Senator Sam Irvin writing in Individual Rights and the Federal Role in Behavior Modification, November 1974
