Hello Vincent, I could not agree more. Large and aged private enterprises suffer from the same decease. There is no way that a CEO or department head can make a culture penetrate the organization of age and size. The hope is that even large organizations are allowed to fail. Not like many financial organizations and GM to take examples when the 'buddies' in government with unlimited funds (read our money) saved the behind of top management that should have had to leave. I hope I do not come across as not being civil. I agree that one has to live with the beast we designed. That does not mean that I think it is all well. On the contrary. It wont make dramatic improvements in my life time. However, it has to start somewhere. To develop new technology , i.e. LENR, the right conditions need to be at hand. I hear constant complains about that LENR is underfunded because all people who sits on the money do not understand better. Reality is that there is only one source. It is enormous and one would think that a small risk would be easy to take. No, reality is that there is no risk worthwhile the ramification of a failed result of LENR and there is no upside for a good outcome. Such good outcome will just be rewarded with a gold star by the closest boss. Have no controversial hot fusion (I think that there is no controversial opinion about that it would work with the right temperature and encapsulation) receive the funding and then if it does not work everybody (read nobody being the same guy) needs to be blamed. The positive result will be treated the same way regardless of the project. my solution means small flexible task oriented organizations rewarded for taking risk.
