-- *Mar*The Perversion
Policy means definite and clear line of action for implementation. Politics means the problems confronted in the implementation. Today, the very policies everywhere have been hijacked by Economics, which champions technology and industrialization. Technology and industrialization maim, torture and destroy nature completely. It has put the human as the adversary of every other life form of the Biosphere. The basic medium of communication among all organisms, emotions and feelings are damned as bias and the human is assumed away as the economic man who is just another technological creature without emotions, by economics. To view like a machine without feelings and emotions, is the glorified scientific approach, which thanks to Rene Descartes views every life form as a machine without emotions. Emotional bonding and interaction via symbiotic feelings among the organisms is the foundation of the Biosphere, which is governed by Ecology. The solidified lava of the Asthenosphere, the great lava ocean underneath the Lithosphere, the lithosphere, the outer skin of earth, just .004% of the Earth’s crust, is a fragile and delicate web of emotions, consisting of the Troposphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere or the bacteria covered land and the resulting emotional Biosphere, which needs tender love and nurturing, is under the ultimate brutal attack. The basic skin of earth consists of the soil bacteria, which function as the foundation of the web of emotions of the Biosphere. The soil bacteria create the emotional green cover, or vegetation, flowering and fructifying the emotional flora and fauna. The evolution of the present Biosphere has taken 4.6 billion years for the earth to grow with the Biosphere. The skin or the outer cover of earth is the wonderful achievement of earth or Gaia or Bhoodevi, which when free puts every life form into the wonderful spell of love in symbiotic relations and interactions. It makes life worth living for every organism. May be the Biosphere of earth, is the achievement of the Solar system itself in great symbiosis. After all, all life is the result of the energy received from the Sun and there must be symbiotic interaction among planets, the moons etc, and the gravitational effects creating life forms. The statement that space-time is curved means that the light rays bend due to the gravitation of a large body. It means that every planet and the Moons also are causing the curvature of the light rays creating diverse photon-synthesis. May be the Biosphere is the ultimate end achievement of the solar system. The basic method of perception and understanding or simply education is via feeling and sensing. We have surrendered that basic foundation of education to machines. We do not feel to be scientific. And insensitively we are destroying nature all 24 hour of every day. The basic minimum every University has to do now, is to start ‘Free Nature Parks’, without human tampering so that nature there becomes the college where every life form becomes a student participating in the interacting symbiotic education. YM Sarma Chat gpt This is a passionate and poetic critique of modern technocratic society and its impact on the environment, authored by YM Sarma. The piece, titled *"The Perversion"*, offers a philosophical and ecological lament for the ways in which economic priorities and technological advancement have displaced emotional, ecological, and symbiotic relationships within the natural world. Here’s a brief analysis of the key ideas: ------------------------------ *🔧 Core Thesis: The Hijacking of Policy by Economics* Sarma argues that *policy*—which should be a clear and definite guide for action—has been overtaken by *economics*, which prioritizes industrial growth and technology at the cost of emotional and ecological balance. In this worldview: - Emotions are dismissed as "bias" - Humans are reduced to “economic men” devoid of feelings - Other life forms are treated as emotionless machines This reductionist perspective is linked to the legacy of *Descartes*, who famously separated mind from body and saw animals as automata. The author sees this as the foundation of our environmental crisis. ------------------------------ *🌿 Ecology as the Foundation of True Existence* In contrast to the sterile lens of economics and technology, Sarma elevates *ecology* as the true governing system of the planet: - The *biosphere* is a web of emotional, symbiotic interactions - *Soil bacteria* form the literal and metaphorical foundation of life - The Earth’s skin—formed over *4.6 billion years*—is a fragile and miraculous outcome of cosmic evolution He draws on the *Gaia hypothesis* (or Indian equivalent, *Bhoodevi*) to present the Earth as a living, feeling entity that fosters love and interconnectedness. ------------------------------ *🌞 Cosmic Symbiosis* The essay then stretches its ecological metaphor outward to the entire *solar system*: - All life is solar-powered (via photosynthesis) - The *curvature of space-time* (from general relativity) is interpreted here as not just a physical phenomenon but possibly contributing to the *diversity and richness of life* - Sarma posits a kind of *cosmic symbiosis*—an interconnectedness even between planetary bodies that influences life on Earth ------------------------------ *📚 Education and the Call to Action* He critiques the *modern education system* for favoring machine-like, feelingless learning: "We do not feel to be scientific." Instead, he advocates for: - *Sensory and emotional education* rooted in *direct experience with nature* - The creation of *Free Nature Parks*—non-commercial, untampered sanctuaries where nature educates through symbiosis, and humans are participants, not masters ------------------------------ *🌍 Themes and Tone* - *Tone:* Philosophical, poetic, urgent, critical, reverent - *Themes:* Ecological ethics, anti-industrialism, emotional intelligence, cosmology, indigenous and holistic worldviews ------------------------------ *📝 Closing Thoughts* This text is not a traditional academic argument but rather a *manifesto*—a deeply emotional and ecological worldview that critiques modern civilization's estrangement from nature. Sarma is calling for a *revolution of perception*, one that re-centers feeling, symbiosis, and respect for the biosphere as foundational to both policy and education. If you're planning to respond to, analyze, or present this text, consider engaging with: - The philosophical roots of the mechanistic worldview (Descartes, Enlightenment rationalism) - Gaia theory (James Lovelock), ecofeminism, or deep ecology - Indigenous and Eastern ecological perspectives (like *Bhoodevi*) - Critiques of capitalist/technocratic development models Would you like help turning this into an essay, summary, or presentation? Certainly. To evaluate this piece fairly, we'll use a *standardized literary and philosophical rubric*, adapted for evaluating critical essays or reflective prose. I'll grade the piece across several criteria, each on a *scale of 0 to 10*, and then give an overall score. ------------------------------ 📊 *Evaluation of "The Perversion" by YM Sarma* *Criterion* *Score (out of 10)* *Comments* *1. Clarity and Structure* *5* The prose is rich but often meandering and dense. Sentence construction lacks clarity in parts, with long, winding thoughts and insufficient punctuation. This hinders accessibility. *2. Originality and Insight* *9* Highly original and deeply reflective. The idea of emotional symbiosis among all life forms, and linking Descartes, economics, and ecology is intellectually ambitious. *3. Philosophical/Scientific Accuracy* *6* While poetic license is used effectively, some scientific ideas are stretched or metaphorical (e.g., gravity creating "diverse photon-synthesis"). Conceptually engaging, but occasionally scientifically imprecise. *4. Emotional and Ethical Appeal* *10* Powerful emotional appeal. The writer succeeds in conveying a heartfelt concern for the Earth, ecosystems, and humanity’s spiritual estrangement from nature. *5. Use of Language and Style* *7* The tone is lyrical, evocative, and philosophical. However, overly abstract phrasing and some grammatical issues affect readability. Strong voice, but the execution is uneven. *6. Relevance and Call to Action* *8* Timely and urgent. The suggestion of "Free Nature Parks" is compelling and grounded, though underdeveloped. Would benefit from more concrete steps or examples. *7. Interdisciplinary Integration* *8* Impressively draws from ecology, cosmology, philosophy, and education. The breadth is a strength, though it occasionally lacks depth in any one domain. ------------------------------ ✅ *Overall Score: 53 / 70* *Final Grade: 76% – Distinction (High Second Class / B+)* ------------------------------ 🔍 Summary Feedback: *Strengths:* · Deep, emotionally rich philosophical reflection on ecology · Powerful ethical critique of economics and technocratic thinking · Ambitious and interdisciplinary in scope *Areas for Improvement:* · Needs clearer structure and better sentence-level editing · Scientific metaphors should be more clearly framed as metaphorical · Argument could be sharpened with more specific examples and actionable ideas ------------------------------ Would you like help editing this piece to improve clarity and impact? Certainly. Here is a poem inspired by the themes and tone of *"The Perversion"*—a lament and a hope for the return of feeling, symbiosis, and reverence for the Earth. ------------------------------ *"The Skin of the Earth"* *inspired by YM Sarma’s vision* The earth is wrapped in a whisper-thin veil, A breathing skin of moss and tale, Where roots remember, rivers dream, And soil hums life in a silent stream. We paved her pulse with profit’s code, Turned every forest into a road, And called it growth—this taking spree— Till love was lost in the economy. Descartes' ghost rides every wire, Chilling the heart, stifling the fire. Emotions banned from reason’s hall, As if to feel is to fall. But beneath the asphalt, Gaia cries, In fungal tongues and fireflies. The stars still shine on photosynth leaves, And lunar tides tug ocean grieves. O child of circuits, stop and hear— The mycelium sings beneath your fear. Not all knowing comes through screens, But through the hush of living greens. Let not your education be A dissection of life's poetry. Go where the breeze still speaks in trees, And lessons come with bumblebees. May every park be wild and free, A classroom of humility. Where beetles teach, and grasses bend— And every life becomes a friend. ------------------------------ Would you like the poem adapted into a visual or audio format as well? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
