Not profitable to capital
And here is the problem.
When doing something is not profitable to capital.
Consider.
The gentle touch of a father to support his son to take the big step.
The grandmother who takes care of her grandkids so their parents can save to buy a house.
The community program that enables the homeless to be sheltered and find a pathway to engaged and valued lives.
Not profitable to capital. None of them. Not directly, anyway. Precessionally possibly.
The maths shows that getting the homeless into housing is cheaper in the long run.
We know that parental care and love support a healthy citizenry.
The investment in quality education produces so much more than a smart skilled person who can increase the balance sheet for the company.
Yet, not profitable to capital. Not in this half.
Perhaps it will be in the next 100 years. But that is not how we measure.
Our models of measuring are wrong. They are killing us, and the planet.
We have to consider the whole. This is Synergy. We must begin doing everything with at least a 100-year plan.
We must acknowledge that our accounting measures tell a false story. When we neglect to account for the all-in-cost, including the cost of our Mother Nature to do the work of making fossils that we, in our greed, have considered ours for the taking, no price attached, we will eventually be required to pay.
Very few enterprises on the planet would be ‘profitable’ if we consider the all-in-cost.
And the things that matter most, like the gentle touch of the father supporting his son, we do not even consider accounting for at all.
There is another way. In Syntropic World, this is through the application of Synergistic Accounting. Accounting for the whole value of everything.
