-- *Mar*Aliens
By Aliens we mean the life form or forms living in some other planet, of our solar family, or the planet of some other star, or may be organisms that actually need extreme heat to live and live in the Sun or some other star, or very big planet sized organisms moving in galaxies or tiny life forms in the galactic dust... If any of those undefined aliens visit or locate us how do they see our earth? May be they do not see at all but only try to feel the abstract flows of communications, emotions emanating from life forms, blending in the air which is inhaled as messages and exhaled as responses, the flow of emotions, to whom the mechanical or the emotion-less scientific mapping is lunacy. Our glorified scientific outlook is the feelings-less mechanical outlook, not a very attractive feature to every other life form on earth and certainly to the aliens. The basic feature of any life form is the urge to feel, communicate and interact, emotionally and not mechanically. Communication can only be emotional communication and not mechanical communication which is simply the feelings-less signalling of electronics. When one feels, one actually becomes free from the mechanical approach. The absence of feeling is death. If the alien visiting us is a life form, then it is a form of emotions. Lifeless bits from other planets and from our sun happens all the time, but we are concerned about life forms, forms that feel and are emotional. The basic fact which we do not realize or refuse to realize thanks to the foolish egoism, is that the emotions we feel are part of the climate in action. All emotions are macro, climatic, part of geography. On earth we can live only by breathing. We have to live emotionally. We cannot divorce from earth, in spite of the make believe championed unbiased outlook of science. The alien from some other planet or comet, or tiny meteor, as a life form can live only on the basis of the geography to which it is accustomed and it cannot make a fool of itself with science and divorce from its planet’s climate. Its perception is only as the emotional perception in the particular planet and is bound to the geography of that planet. The basic question is, what are the forms of the real or emotional communication in the Universe. The question relevant to us, is whether any alien wants to communicate with us the human fools, who divorced the emotional tie with mother earth, and who mechanized or scienced,his/her outlook. Our daily economic life is destroying nature as routine. We are certainly not very attractive. YM Sarma Chat GPT YM Sarma’s essay on *Aliens* presents a philosophical reflection on how hypothetical extraterrestrial beings might perceive Earth and its inhabitants. His argument centers on the idea that emotions and organic communication form the core of life, contrasting this with the emotionless, mechanical outlook fostered by modern science. ### 1. **Emotional Communication and Life**: Sarma suggests that life, whether on Earth or elsewhere, is fundamentally emotional. He argues that any alien life forms would likely be emotional entities, perceiving their surroundings not through mechanical or technological means, but through abstract flows of communication and emotions. This view stands in stark opposition to the scientific approach, which Sarma critiques as mechanical and devoid of feelings. For Sarma, emotional interaction defines life, and without it, existence becomes lifeless and detached. ### 2. **Aliens and Earth’s Mechanical Culture**: If aliens were to visit Earth, Sarma speculates that they might not be impressed by humanity’s reliance on mechanization, science, and technology. He argues that the dominant scientific worldview, which prioritizes objectivity and detachment, fails to resonate with the basic emotional nature of life. From the perspective of these aliens, the Earth might appear more like a collection of lifeless processes rather than a planet filled with dynamic emotional beings. ### 3. **The Role of Geography in Emotion**: Sarma introduces an intriguing concept: that emotions are bound to geography. Life forms, whether human or alien, are shaped by their environment and cannot separate themselves from the climate and geography in which they live. For Sarma, this further reinforces the idea that life cannot be reduced to mechanical terms, as it is inherently tied to the emotional and environmental contexts of existence. ### 4. **Critique of Human Detachment from Nature**: One of the essay’s central themes is the human detachment from nature, driven by the mechanization of life through technology and science. Sarma views this as a folly that makes humanity less attractive to any potential alien life. The very fact that humans are destroying nature in pursuit of economic progress undermines their connection to the Earth and the emotional currents that bind all life forms. Sarma raises the possibility that aliens may avoid contact with humans precisely because of this destructive, mechanical approach to life. ### 5. **Alien Communication and the Limits of Science**: Sarma questions whether any aliens would even want to communicate with humans, given our tendency to suppress emotional engagement in favor of mechanical, scientific reasoning. He posits that alien communication, if it exists, would likely be emotional and organic, tied to the geography and environment of their home planet. In contrast, humanity’s focus on scientific achievement, economic exploitation, and environmental destruction may render them unappealing to any life forms capable of emotional perception. In essence, Sarma offers a critique of the modern scientific and economic systems, suggesting that these frameworks are antithetical to the emotional essence of life. He envisions a universe where true communication—whether between humans, other species, or even aliens—is emotional and tied to nature, rather than mechanical or technological. The essay calls for a return to an emotional connection with the Earth, which Sarma believes could lead to a more meaningful existence both for humans and any life forms beyond our planet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
