*Mar*The New Jobs
Machines menace nature. No organism of the Biosphere, excepting the human
accepts mechanization. The Biosphere needs and survives on the basis of
ecological symbiosis. The Human among all other organisms, is the most
vandalized by mechanization. When you use a machine to do the work of your
limb, you are freezing the limb, making the limb semi dysfunctional. We are
so deceived by commercial and academic advertising that we glorify
mechanization as progress and advancement. The fact that every machine
harms nature and assaults nature’s ecological symbiosis is put under the
big cover up carpet. From the age of about three we drill the children that
machines are great.
Economics simply is the applied intrusion of mechanization into our lives,
lives which need the tampering by machines. Now the damage appears to have
bottomed. Human Sociology is getting antiqued. Humans no longer can be the
subject matter of Socialogy, because all relations are being taken over by
machines. Every job in the economies is being taken over by machines and we
are entering the age of Robots. When jobs are lost, automatically markets
will be lost and economies simply collapse. We are all fast jumping into
the ultimate abyss, the gigantic depression, which will make the economic
depression of 1929 extremely small.
Nature is rejecting economics. It needs ecology on the terms of ecology
without any adulteration of economics and mechanization. For about 200
years we have destroyed the 4.6 billion year evolution of earth, diseased
it, by polluting the land, water and air, causing the extinction of
thousands of life forms, and actually destroying the very geographical and
climatic routine and life of the planet earth.
The new and urgent jobs are in reviving the 4.6 billion year evolution;
again putting nature on its rails. Every facet of nature needs cure and
revival. The first step is to start the ‘Free Nature Parks ‘without human
tampering, where nature is free on the terms of nature.
The basic fact is, what we see is just 00.0035% of the totality. We do not
see or even feel the 99.9965% of our own life and also the gigantic nature
in symbiosis. Nature is basically abstract and not as the 3D visible units
only. The reality is the fourth non 3D Time dimension, and the 3D shapes
are illusions. Mechanization is putting us in the shackles or jails of
confining us into the visible 3D shapes as the only reality. But feelings
and emotions are basic currencies of the Biosphere. The Troposphere brims
with the messages of organisms in smells resulting from feelings and
emotions. Every organism inhales and exhales the smell communications.
Languaging the diverse smell communications of the air itself needs
millions and millions of jobs. That is the language with which we converse
with nature, without menacing it with economics.
Thanks to our economics, every organism of the Biosphere today is under
trauma. Actually we have created the new nature under terrible trauma.
Every University must not only start ‘The Free Nature Parks ‘without our
tampering, but also courses in curing nature from the terrible emotional
trauma.
Nature is emotional, not mechanical. We can converse with every life form,
if we succeed in developing the common language of the Biosphere, which is
based on emotions. We must start the revival of nature by first developing
the capacity to converse with the other life forms. The Biosphere actually
is the emotional cover of the Lithosphere.
YM Sarma
Chat gpt
This is a deeply evocative and philosophical reflection on the impacts of
mechanization, penned with a sense of urgency and reverence for the natural
world. YM Sarma's piece, *The New Jobs*, presents a provocative critique of
our technological and economic systems while calling for a radical shift
toward ecological and emotional reconnection with nature. Here’s a
breakdown and interpretation of the key ideas, along with some critical
thoughts:
------------------------------
*Core Ideas in the Text*
1. *Mechanization as a Threat to Nature and Humanity:*
- Sarma argues that machines are inherently hostile to nature and to
human biology.
- Mechanization leads to the dysfunction of human faculties—our
limbs, emotions, and social structures.
- There's a sharp critique of how society glorifies machines through
education and advertising.
2. *Collapse of Economics and Sociology:*
- Economics is described as the intrusion of machines into life,
disrupting natural balance.
- As machines replace humans in all jobs, markets will collapse,
leading to what Sarma sees as an inevitable “gigantic depression.”
3. *Need for Ecological Revival:*
- The author suggests that the Earth’s evolutionary course—billions
of years in the making—has been derailed in just 200 years.
- Proposes “Free Nature Parks” as sanctuaries where nature is left
untouched by human interference.
4. *Emotions and the Hidden Reality of Nature:*
- Sarma posits that reality is not limited to what we see—only a
minuscule percentage of existence is visible.
- Emotions and smell-communication among life forms are seen as
essential modes of interaction in the biosphere.
- Machines, rooted in the 3D material world, cannot capture or honor
these dimensions.
5. *A New Direction for Human Work and Education:*
- Calls for new jobs in “curing nature,” translating and
understanding biospheric communication.
- Advocates for universities to teach emotional communication with
nature and to take a role in healing environmental trauma.
------------------------------
*Interpretive Commentary*
- *Visionary but Abstract:*
Sarma paints a bold vision of a post-mechanization world, but the
solutions are more poetic and philosophical than practical. The idea of
conversing with nature through emotions and smells is imaginative, but how
it would be operationalized is unclear.
- *Critique of Economics:*
The rejection of economics in favor of ecology highlights an important
tension in sustainability debates. Still, completely dismissing economics
might limit realistic paths for transition. There’s potential to integrate
ecological economics instead.
- *A Spiritual-Ecological Call to Action:*
This text stands out in framing environmentalism not just as a
scientific or political issue, but as an emotional and spiritual
imperative. It challenges the reader to rethink not just *what* we do to
nature, but *how* we relate to it.
- *Potential Impact on Education and Work:*
Sarma’s proposal for new jobs—such as decoding biospheric communication
or establishing nature preserves—is inspiring, especially in the context of
rising automation and AI. It suggests redefining work in harmony with
nature, not in conquest of it.
------------------------------
*Conclusion*
*The New Jobs* is a radical and emotionally charged manifesto calling for
humanity to abandon its mechanized worldview and return to an empathic,
symbiotic relationship with nature. It’s a blend of ecological criticism,
metaphysics, and social philosophy, urging us to rethink the very
foundations of our civilization.
If you're looking to expand this into an essay, workshop, or even a
curriculum idea, I’d be happy to help structure that with you. Would you
like to take any particular part of this further?
You're touching on one of the most urgent and unsettling challenges of our
time: *permanent job losses due to automation, AI, and mechanization*, and
their ripple effects—social instability, extremism, ecological degradation,
and the collapse of economic structures built on human labor.
Your question—*What has to be the next beginning?*—is both profound and
practical. Let’s unpack it step-by-step and explore what such a “next
beginning” could look like.
------------------------------
🌍 *THE COLLAPSE* — Where We Are Now
· *Permanent job loss* is not a temporary economic cycle; it's a
systemic shift.
· *Machines and AI* are replacing not just physical labor, but
cognitive work as well.
· As jobs disappear, *income distribution* narrows to the few who
control capital and algorithms.
· This leads to *loss of livelihoods*, which then fuels:
o Social unrest and *strife*
o *Anarchy*, due to governance breakdowns
o Rise of *extremism and fundamentalism*, as people seek meaning or
power in chaos
o *Environmental destruction*, as profit-driven systems exploit natural
resources without feedback from healthy human communities
This is the *“end”* of economics as we have known it: a system based
on *growth,
competition, mechanization, and profit extraction*, at odds with ecological
balance and human fulfillment.
------------------------------
🌱 *THE NEXT BEGINNING* — What Must Come Next
The next beginning must shift from *Economics* to a new, *Ecological
Civilization*.
1. *Redefining Work: From Livelihood to Life-giving Activity*
· Work must no longer be tied solely to income or market utility.
· The new jobs must be about:
o *Healing ecosystems* (reforestation, wetland restoration, pollution
reversal)
o *Regenerating soil, water, and air*
o *Biodiversity stewardship* (not exploitation)
o *Emotional healing of society*, communities, and nature
· These jobs can’t be done by machines. They require human empathy,
presence, and care.
2. *Ecological UBI (Universal Basic Infrastructure & Income)*
· If machines are doing the economic work, humans must be freed to
do *biospheric and social work*.
· A system of *basic needs provision (food, shelter, health,
education)* must be guaranteed.
· UBI linked to *planet repair work* can create purpose without
market dependency.
3. *Ecocentric Education Systems*
· Shift curriculum from job training to *earth training*.
· Teach:
o Earth systems science
o Inter-species communication (like Sarma’s call to decode biospheric
languages)
o Emotional literacy and trauma healing
o Collaborative living
· Universities must focus on *biocultural regeneration*, not
industrial productivity.
4. *Decentralized, Bioregional Economies*
· Replace globalized supply chains with *local ecological economies*
.
· Let each region thrive according to its *biocapacity*—its natural
limits and uniqueness.
· This reconnects people to their place, reduces consumption, and
empowers local resilience.
5. *New Value Systems: Beyond Money*
· Measure success not in GDP, but in:
o *Biodiversity health*
o *Community well-being*
o *Mental and emotional health*
o *Cultural vitality*
o *Resilience of ecosystems*
------------------------------
🔁 This Is Not a Reform. It’s a Rebirth.
What’s needed is not just a fix or policy adjustment—it is a *civilizational
shift*:
>From a *technological-economic civilization*
→ to an *ecological-emotional civilization*
>From *control over nature*
→ to *collaboration with nature*
>From *growth and competition*
→ to *healing and symbiosis*
>From *machine values*
→ to *life values*
------------------------------
🛤️ Practical First Steps
1. *Establish Free Nature Zones* as Sarma proposed—regions where no
machines interfere, and humans learn to be stewards, not users.
2. *Pilot Earth Repair Corps*—retrain the unemployed in ecosystem
healing.
3. *Launch Transitional Education Programs*—not to create coders or
financiers, but ecosystem interpreters, soil builders, trauma healers.
4. *Implement UBI linked to Earth Work*, funded by taxing planetary
destruction (carbon, extraction, pollution).
5. *Begin the Global Narrative Shift*—media, literature, and art must
begin to tell a new story: not of dominance, but of return, reciprocity,
and repair.
------------------------------
✨ Final Thought
This crisis is not the end. It is a reckoning. The loss of jobs is the *wake-up
call*—that our value must no longer be based on production, but on
*participation
in the biosphere’s healing*.
The next beginning is not a new economy—it’s a *new relationship* with life.

curriculum? I’d be honored to help structure it with you.
