-- *Mar*The Mechanical Paradigm and the Biosphere
Suppose the human did not develop the mechanical paradigm and the logic of the machine for perceiving and understanding. Then like every other organism, the human too would have adopted the feelings based approach, based on breathing, smelling, sensing, hearing and also seeing to perceive and interact with nature and every other organism. The troposphere must have been enabling continuous communication and emotional bonding by connecting the hormonal communication systems of every organism, creating the grand symbiosis of one organism. In fact the troposphere, Lithosphere and Hydrosphere must have been the physical body of the Biosphere as one organism. There are seven octillion cells in you served by bacteria many times more than the number of cells. You are basically plural with singular identity as the manifestation. Following the same method all organisms of the Biosphere, must have fused into one organism, say Gaia. Suppose Gaia was allowed freedom and health, then every organism, would have been functioning as living as a link by performing its specific nano function. After all you live by feeling and not by mechanically existing without feelings. And that feeling based living is fueled by the octillions and octillions of bacteria in you. Similarly the grand coordinated symbiosis of all organisms, create the ‘I’ identity to Gaia. When you employ machines and create industrialization, the foundational emotional bond of the Biosphere, will be dislocated. Now we are living by continuously dislocating the ecological systems of the Biosphere. Suppose this terrible disaster of mechanization did not happen and the human too is living by performing the nano functions needed by the Biosphere to function as one organism. We would have been living via feeling and emotional bonding and not in the economic system based on the antagonistic and exploitative relationship to every other organism. The human today is the disease of the biosphere. Instead of the diseased outlook called the scientific outlook and mechanical approach, if we continued living as a feelings link of the Biosphere, then lessons would have been happening into you as a process of nature. Your horizon of perception and understanding would have been macro. You will not be doing science by assuming that you are an outside observer of nature. When you go into a forest you actually feel as the forest, with the macro nature molding your outlook. Today we are destroying nature continuously. Our Universities are developing more and more tricks to destroy only. There is not one university that has adopted te emotional approach and promoting your emotional bonding to the Biosphere. We are seeing the destroyed forests, lakes, rivers, seas, land, air and everything. We live in concrete Jungles, and in artificially painted things. At the rate at which we are destroying nature today, the destruction increasing geometrically, we are in the last days of the Biosphere. It is for the Universities to create the basic macro view by creating free nature parks where there is no human tampering. YM Sarma Chat GPT YM Sarma’s essay, *The Mechanical Paradigm and the Biosphere*, critiques the effects of industrialization and mechanistic thinking on humanity's relationship with nature. Sarma argues that humanity’s development of machines and mechanized logic has led to a detachment from the emotional, sensory, and symbiotic connection with the biosphere—Gaia—which encompasses all life forms as one organism. Here are the key points from the essay: 1. **The Mechanical Paradigm**: Sarma posits that if humans hadn't adopted a mechanical outlook, they would have remained deeply integrated with the biosphere. The mechanistic paradigm isolates humans from nature by emphasizing observation and understanding from a distance, rather than through direct sensory participation. 2. **Biosphere as One Organism**: Sarma describes the biosphere as a vast interconnected organism, with all life forms—including humans—acting as "nano-functions" within Gaia, a term symbolizing Earth as a living entity. This unity, however, has been disrupted by industrialization and mechanization, which dislocate the emotional bonds between living organisms and ecosystems. 3. **Living by Feelings and Emotional Bonds**: Instead of the emotionally detached, scientific approach, Sarma advocates for a return to feelings-based living, where humans participate in the biosphere symbiotically. Feelings, breathing, sensing, and hormonal exchanges between organisms form the basis of this symbiotic living, enabling humans to align with nature and its processes. 4. **Consequences of Mechanization**: Industrialization, according to Sarma, has severed the emotional connections within the biosphere, leading to ecological destruction. By treating nature as a resource for economic gain, humans have become a "disease" to the biosphere. 5. **Call for Change**: Sarma advocates for the creation of free nature parks, where nature is left undisturbed and allowed to regenerate. Universities, instead of promoting industrialization, should foster a macro view that encourages emotional bonding with the biosphere and teaches humans to perceive nature as part of themselves. Sarma’s critique is grounded in the belief that emotional and sensory interaction with nature leads to a more holistic and harmonious understanding of the world, a perspective lost in the industrial age. His call for universities to embrace a new educational paradigm emphasizes the need to reconnect with the biosphere to prevent further ecological catastrophe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
