Vaudrait mieux se taire, à propos de ce que l'on ne sait pas

Il est mieux de se taire à propos de ce que l’on pense à croire.
Professeur Norbert Pintsch- FPAC/FBTC

Si l'on devait prendre à cœur les grandes lignes et sous-titres, il n'y aurait que des bruits sociaux sur la planète, tel que: Oh, oui, - ah, oui, ceci-cela, - la différence d’avec le bétail dans un pâturage ne serait pas très grande,-par lequel les principes: aller-rester-aller sont toujours valables pour toute la vie!

Vraisemblablement, il y a des relations spéciales dans chaque pensée et expression individuelles. D'où viennent les pensées et d’où tenez-vous les noms dans l'expression parlée? C'est un long processus qui commence avant même la scolarisation et est toujours associé à des empreintes de l'environnement culturel respectif.

Lorsque la scolarisation commence, «la moitié du problème» est déjà réglée, et il ne serait pas faux de dire si - au lieu de la scolarisation, des expériences individuelles se faisaient. Dans les styles de vie existants, axés sur l'impact, il existe diverses stipulations qui ne laissent pratiquement aucune place pour les écarts par rapport à la norme.

Lorsque des défis particuliers se posent dans le monde de plus en plus globalisé et numérisé avec ses doctrines d'unification et d'uniformité, nous ne sommes pas outillés pour les gérer. Les tentatives de trouver des solutions ne peuvent être entreprises qu'avec les instruments existants, que ce soit en recherche, développement, production!

L'appel à la créativité et à l'innovation est acoustiquement compréhensible. Mais ne peut pas être implémenté car l'énorme système est coincé. Les faiblesses et problèmes généraux sont résolus, remis à neuf, modernisés. Une action bigleuse et à court terme et le succès financier sont la référence, bien que les faiblesses humaines se reflètent dans toutes les mesures prises.

Des situations spéciales telles que les guerres, les catastrophes (naturelles), les maladies - spécialement de plus longue durée, offrent à la fois des opportunités et des défis. Il faut donc réfléchir aux causes et agir en conséquence. Ce qui contraste cependant avec la persistance des grands systèmes politiques, sociaux et économiques mondiaux.


Cependant, l'individu peut, en parallèle et au cours de la scolarisation et de la qualification, se mettre à ses côtés et pratiquer la libre pensée. Un effet fondamental serait de savoir ce qui est réellement cru et ce qui est connu dans les faits, voir le titre et les sous-titres. La connaissance qui en résulte conduit à un choc!

Un tel choc est la condition préalable au démarrage d'une réflexion indépendante et ne sera pas basé sur la quantité de publications étudiées. Peut-être même que les impressions de l'enfance doivent être prises en compte afin de traiter la scolarisation ultérieure.

Guerres, catastrophes, maladies - ce sont des défis et des opportunités pour se comprendre soi-même et l'environnement et de passer de l’action et de l’effet bigleux et à court terme à l’action et à l’effet prévoyant et à long terme. Cela signifie la libre pensée - un luxe que tout le monde peut se permettre, même si les problèmes quotidiens du coût de la vie et du sens de la vie sont encore à surmonter!

What one doesn't know, it is better to remain silent about that

What one thinks to believe, it is better to be silent about it.

Professor Norbert Pintsch-FPAC/FBTC

If one were to take the statements of the heading and the subtitle to heart, there would only be social noises on the planet, such as: Oh, so, - ah, yes, So-so, - the difference to cattle on a pasture would not be very big, - whereby the principles: coming-staying-going are still true for all life!

Presumably, there are special relationships in each individual thoughts and Expression. Where do the thoughts come from and where do you get the names in the spoken expression? It is a lengthy process that starts even before the schooling and is always associated with imprints from the respective cultural environment.

When the schooling starts, "half the matter" is already set, and it would not be false to say if - instead of the schooling, individual experiences were being made. In the existing, impact-oriented life styles, there are various stipulations that hardly allow any space for deviations from the standard.

When special challenges arise in the increasingly globalized and digitized world with its unification and uniformity doctrines, we are not equipped to handle them. Attempts to find solutions can only be undertaken with existing instruments, whether in research, development, production!

The call for creativity and innovation is acoustically understandable. But cannot be implemented because the huge system is stuck. Weaknesses and general problems are repaired, refurbished, modernized. Short-sighted and short-term action and financial success are the yardstick, although human weaknesses are reflected in all undertaken measures.

Special situations such as wars, (natural) disasters, illnesses - specially of longer duration, offer both opportunities and challenges. So you have to think about the causes and act accordingly. This however contrasts with the persistence of global political, social and large economic systems.

However, the individual can, in parallel and during the course of usual schooling and qualification phase, step alongside oneself and practice free thinking. A fundamental effect would be to find out what is actually believed and what is factually known, see heading and subtitles. The resulting knowledge leads to a shock!

Such a shock is the prerequisite for the beginning of independent thinking and will not be based on the quantity of publications studied. Perhaps even the childhood impressions have to be taken into account in order to process the subsequent schooling.

Wars, disasters, diseases - they are challenges and opportunities to understand yourself and the environment and to move from the short-sighted and short-term effect-oriented to the far-sighted and long-term cause-oriented action and effect. It means free thinking - a luxury that everyone can afford, even if the daily problems of the cost of living and making sense of life are still to be overcome!

Homage for Marlis Bartkiewitz-Schmid

On the occasion of the National Day the long years volunteer Marlis Barkiewitz--Schmid is honored for her selfless engagement in the Alahkie Bush Hospital for the benefit of the population and training of honorary helpers.

Marlis is The Mother of the Bush Hospitals.


The appreciation comes not only from the public side, but also from King Dr Leshey I., Royal Rehabilitation and Reformation Center and Dr Thomas, Dept. Traditional Medicine of the Royal University Center.


CAT Director Njini Victor thanked her in a special way.

About 20 years ago, CAT came into contact with Prof Norbert Pintsch / DGFK by chance and this gave rise to new possibilities, which in the meantime have led to the installation of photo-voltaic units in the field of adapted technology. Another area was the establishment of the Kids Club as well as the cooperation with the doll project of Dr Senta Siller, which is successfully continued now by Madam Theresa.

CAT Bamenda and its Partners Secure a Bright Future for Development Projects in Cameroon

Njini King Caro
The Center for Appropriate Technology Bamenda (CAT) Cameroon is one of Cameroon’s people oriented institution with a long time experience in the field of alternative and renewable energies in the country. CAT was created in 2001 to demonstrate, build and influence people and rural communities on how to change their lives and livelihoods through sustainable ways of environmental protection and the development and usage of appropriate technologies. Over the years there has not been any limits to the success story of this organization. CAT under its managing director Njini Victor has renewed the hopes of people living in the rural communities by creating sufficient awareness on renewable energy sources, and environmental protection.


Lately the Center took it’s know how to the Akwaya community where lighting had been a long time cry of the people for centuries. This area was one of Cameroon’s landlocked villages in the South West region without a passable road. The lack of communication with the outside world either with a cell of fixed phone compounded its woes. Equipment in gov.t offices were still manualy run. Schools and colleges only dreamed on science and ICT studies. All this resulted to low levels of live. Poverty was taking it tall on the community.
