Dear Frans, (to Stoves Listserv and to Biochar Listserv where
there is a current discussion on not getting funds for low tech
making of biochar by using cookstove technology) (each listserv
can discuss this separately.)<br>
<br>
So well stated by you: Business sickness. Business sickness is
part of the problem regarding stoves and stoves that make biochar.<br>
<br>
That term (business sickness) captures the essence of many problems,
including cookstove development and also much of politics and social
service and general aspects.<br>
<br>
BUSINESS can be and should be good and should be healthy. This is
not an anti-business message. It is not a socialist message. It
is a message about capitalism that has ways of going astray. (but
focus on STOVES).<br>
<br>
The "sickness" aspect comes from excessiveness. The word "greed"
is related, but does not capture the subtle aspects of sickness.
Sort of like eating candy, but eating so much that you get sick.
This is sickness because of lack of balance. Obesity, alcoholism,
abuse of prescription drugs, and any addictions are all
"sicknesses." Fortunately our societies (some members of our
societies) do help with treatment for such sicknesses of
excessiveness. <br>
<br>
But business sickness (excessive business focus) is likely to get
applause. Society praises the billionaires. <br>
<br>
BUT let's keep this topic focused on STOVES and on Biochar from
STOVES. (These listservs are NOT for making comments about
politics in America or elsewhere. Stick to STOVES!!!<br>
<br>
1. How can we find more funding for stove projects that can be
close to breaking even in the long run, without highly attractive
profit margins? Are we doomed to depend on "donors" (bless them
all) who are too few to cover the tasks? <br>
<br>
2. Why do governments of impoverished countries or struggling
countries get sucked into the business sickness of large expensive
infrastructure projects that have so little benefit to the majority
of their people, but do rather little about cookstove efforts?<br>
<br>
3. MAYBE the Stove Community is at fault. Or maybe some part of
our Community has the sickness and impacts the other parts?<br>
<br>
4. Maybe Paul Anderson is too far off track. <br>
<br>
Paul <br>
