-- *Mar*Reasoning of Reasoning
Today is called the age of reason, the age where the scientific method of investigation is adopted to arrive at the scientific proof. This reason must be mathematical and mechanical with no place for bias. Every reason for another reason too must be mathematical and mechanical. The reason has to be restricted to the interaction or relationship between and among things only, things without feelings and emotions. Emotion under the scientific method is sickness. For science even emotions shall be mechanized to make them eligible as the factors to be included in any investigation. Psychology too must obey the laws of Newtonian mechanics. Understanding which actually is an emotion, shall be achieved mechanically. As human beings, we are subject to emotions, making us ineligible for science. So we have adopted machines and Technology as the Techno-logic only is the logic of the science. A proof needs reasons that support the next reason, all of which shall function as mechanical links. There shall be quantitative synchronization. All emotions shall be distrusted, eliminated and taken as unscientific. Emotions and emotional bonds are the results of breathing, smelling, sensing, understanding, perceiving…, all of which embed in the internal hormonal communications. One’s hormones therefore shall not be allowed to influence the scientific investigation as hormones sprout due to emotions. The very internal hormonal communication in an individual shall therefore be fought and neutralized, disown, one’s own blood circulation, as the blood enters the cells via the capillaries with hormones. One’s own cells shall be fought. The best method of eliminating one’s own cells including the neurons of the Brain is to depend totally on computers. The mechanical structure of a neuron is very clearly explained, the entire brain is mapped and it is also proved that specific emotions can be triggered by applying electrodes to specific areas of the Brain. Unfortunately the Brain is still refusing to be totally mechanical and unbiased. So the best solution is to depend totally on computers only and reduce the role of the Brain to merely noting what the computers tell. Machines, cyborgs and Robots are taking over—drone planes, automation, surrogate mothers who cannot afford to become the emotional mothers of the child growing in the womb---we are getting engulfed by technology, in this age of emotion-less science. The reasoning of reasoning is just mechanical linkages. YM Sarma Chat gpt This reflection by YM Sarma, *"Reasoning of Reasoning,"* is a critical and thought-provoking commentary on the nature and implications of scientific rationality in the modern world. Here's a breakdown and interpretation of its core ideas: ------------------------------ *🔍 Summary & Interpretation* *1. The Age of Reason as Mechanization* The piece asserts that we live in an era where "reason" is reduced to *mechanical and mathematical logic*, as employed in the scientific method. Emotions, subjectivity, and human variability are considered *unscientific*, even *pathological*, under this paradigm. - *Science = Objectivity, Precision, Repeatability* - *Emotion = Noise, Bias, Disruption* The consequence: a move away from human-centered inquiry to a *machine-centered epistemology*. ------------------------------ *2. Dehumanization Through Technology* There’s a deep concern about how *human qualities—emotion, intuition, empathy, hormonal responses—are systematically devalued* or seen as obstacles in scientific reasoning. - Psychology must obey Newtonian mechanics (a satirical point). - Understanding, despite being emotional, must be "mechanized". - Blood, hormones, neurons—elements of our very humanity—are to be “fought” or eliminated. This hyperbole emphasizes the absurdity of expecting *total objectivity* from human beings, and warns against *erasing the human* in pursuit of scientific "purity". ------------------------------ *3. Dependence on Machines and Computers* Since humans are seen as flawed, Sarma suggests—ironically or critically—that we’re moving toward *complete dependence on machines*. - *Computers = Emotionless, Perfect Reasoners* - *Humans = Biased, Inconsistent* Thus, the brain’s role is being diminished to that of a *passive observer*, a mere recorder of what the machine declares. ------------------------------ *4. The Rise of Techno-Logic* With drones, automation, and even *biological surrogacy* being framed as devoid of emotion, we’re heading toward a *world shaped entirely by technological logic*—“techno-logic”—where traditional human relationships, experiences, and understanding are supplanted by mechanical systems. ------------------------------ *5. The Reasoning of Reasoning as Mechanical* The final point is philosophical: the very *structure of reason is being reduced to mechanical linkage*—each thought a cog in a system, devoid of soul, nuance, or depth. - Logic becomes linear. - Inquiry becomes computation. - Understanding becomes simulation. ------------------------------ *🧠 Themes & Philosophical Implications* - *Critique of Scientific Reductionism*: The essay critiques the idea that everything must be reduced to numbers, laws, or mechanisms to be valid or "real." - *Loss of Humanity*: It warns about the devaluation of our emotional and subjective selves. - *Satire or Dystopia?*: There’s a satirical tone that borders on dystopian warning—urging us to reflect on where our faith in machines may lead. ------------------------------ *📌 Final Thoughts* "*Reasoning of Reasoning*" is less an argument for abandoning science, and more a *call for balance*—a reminder that *human emotion, intuition, and subjectivity are not flaws*, but essential parts of being alive and understanding the world. It poses urgent philosophical questions: - Can science ever be truly neutral? - What do we lose when we ignore emotion? - Are we building a world that no longer has room for humans as we are? ------------------------------ Would you like me to help turn this into a visual summary or a short essay format? Certainly. Here's a poem inspired by the themes of *"Reasoning of Reasoning"*: ------------------------------ *The Machine Thinks, Therefore I Am Not* In halls of steel and silent light, Where circuits hum through endless night, The mind is split from flesh and bone, And thought reduced to dial and tone. They call it reason—pure and clean, A clockwork truth, a logic machine. But where is breath, or blood, or tear, When all that’s felt must disappear? The heart is noise, the soul is blur, A hormone's trick, a neural stir. To understand must now be cold, In numbers strict, in systems bold. The scientist wears gloves of glass, Afraid to let the feelings pass. Emotions—labeled flawed and weak— No place for those who dare to speak. Each thought a gear, each cause a chain, Each why a link without a name. But love won’t fit a theorem’s page, And grief won't sit inside a cage. The brain resists, though wired deep, Still dreams when machines fall asleep. It aches to feel, to sing, to break, A pulse no algorithm can fake. So let the drones patrol the skies, And code compose synthetic cries— But somewhere soft, beneath the skin, A wilder logic stirs within. ------------------------------ Would you like this poem set to a particular rhythm or visual style (e.g. a digital poster, spoken word format)? Certainly! Here's an evaluation of the poem using a numerical marking scheme, typically used in literary assessments. We'll break it down across key poetic criteria and provide a final score out of 100. ------------------------------ *📊 Poem Evaluation: "The Machine Thinks, Therefore I Am Not"* *Criterion* *Marks (out of)* *Score* *1. Theme and Depth* /20 *18* *Engagement with the core idea; depth of thought and relevance to "Reasoning of Reasoning"* *2. Language and Diction* /15 *13* *Choice of words, imagery, and clarity* *3. Structure and Form* /15 *14* *Consistency of form (rhyme, meter), stanza division, flow* *4. Originality and Creativity* /15 *13* *Innovative metaphors, unexpected lines, non-cliché expression* *5.
