I am surprised but not scared!

[Surendra Varma]

Whenever I develop a post, I go to Maharishi Google to check and make sure that the information in my post is relevant, authentic and verifiable. Within 24 hours I found that the subject I was researching was captured on Quora with this message: “Here is more on the subject”, followed by a trail of current and past posts on the subject, which I always find very useful.

 

The most recent example is my post here on the pros and cons of adding 10% ethanol to petrol, done internationally, particularly in relation to food security for humans, because ethanol is now being produced from food crops. The number of posts retrieved and posted by Quora on this subject is simply overwhelming.

 

The response to my post in this forum was, to use a phrase I learned from my Telugu friends, this: You give a coconut to a monkey, who, not knowing what to do with it, will hit you back with it!  

 

But, seriously, is it not true that something called one’s privacy, once upon a time, is now a myth?

I refer to a reply on ethanol mixing in petrol  which reads more like a technical puzzle than a clear input — impressive perhaps to the writer, but confusing to anyone genuinely seeking clarity.  Now  a days round about touching the nose is the fancy way , i think. 

I have no objection to ethanol blending if it truly uplifts farmers in general . The issue is transparency — which farmers are benefitting if really common farmers are benefitt and have car owners been fairly informed of the risks and costs?

Were vehicle manufacturers consulted and engines tested before this decision? Was the policy explained publicly before being implemented?

Instead of addressing these essential questions, the response seemed more focused on displaying  a glibberish format  of the sender which  should not qualify to be torn apart like if given to a monkey . A little straightforwardness would help far more than verbose brilliance.
