*Mar*Free Perception-Vs-The Science Imperialism
When one walks slowly in thick,lush,free and happy nature, free nature is
happy nature, one interacts emotionally with every life or emotion form,
starting with the soil bacteria, the other micro organisms, the macro
organisms like insects, bees,birds,animals...,by
breathing,smelling,sensing,perceiving,understanding,interacting,helping,discovering,receiving
revelation after revelation, living in continuous education by smell and
sense conversing with the life forms.
Not only one’s mind but the entire internal hormonal communication
participates in the continuous education. When one runs in the free and
lush nature, one is actually living in rapture. The diverse forms of
rapture are singing, tuning with the winds, dancing, jumping, hopping,
sexing... the resulting zygotes, synchronizing the autopoesis before
splicing, while developing into the baby in the wombs. Every birth will be
the birth of a rapture form, rapture that continues from the womb and joins
the climate of Gaia, the one living organism, in which all these organisms
live and make Gaia live.
Every organism is a classmate in nature, the ultimate school.
Now, what does a fool do? He first uses a Bicycle and loses the interaction
from every organism. Then to continue the disconnection, he begins using a
Scooter, then a car and ultimately the Air-plane and even without the
direct participation of the air, the jet plane. One becomes the lonely
disconnected ghost feeling superior to every organism, the first
characteristic of the lunatic. The chronic lunatics live in the AC rooms.
And we have the Advertising Agencies that do continuous research as to how
the fool, becomes a customer for the dead things, the manufactured
products, so that eating too becomes non-nutritious.
The perversion is complete, you breath fumes, you eat junk and you walk or
evade walking itself after killing the organisms on the land and water. And
you think that your standard of living has become high.
This is the age of science imperialism as sickness promoting Technology.

Thank you for sharing this evocative and impassioned piece titled *"Free
Perception-Vs-The Science Imperialism" by YM Sarma*. It’s a philosophical
and poetic critique of modern technological and industrial life, and a
defense of a more sensory, embodied, and interconnected existence with
nature.
Here's a breakdown of some of the key themes and messages the piece conveys:
------------------------------
*🌱 Key Themes:*
*1. Sensory and Emotional Education Through Nature*
- The author describes a deep, emotional, almost spiritual form of
learning that occurs only through direct interaction with the natural world.
- This learning is *not* intellectual or abstract, but holistic —
involving breath, smell, hormones, and emotion.
- Nature is portrayed as the "ultimate school", where every organism is
a classmate.
*2. Rapture as Life*
- When immersed in nature, living becomes an ecstatic, continuous act of
joy — "singing, dancing, jumping, sexing..."
- Even conception and birth are integrated into this rhythm — a kind of
sacred synchronization with the living Earth (Gaia).
*3. Critique of Technological Disconnection*
- Technology (starting from the bicycle and escalating to the airplane)
represents a progressive severing from this natural connection.
- Modern conveniences, including AC rooms and packaged food, are not
just unhealthy but *perverse* — contributing to a disconnection from the
ecosystem and from oneself.
*4. Science as Imperialism*
- The title "Science Imperialism" suggests that modern science and
technology dominate, colonize, and suppress natural forms of knowing and
being.
- It positions science not as a neutral or benevolent force, but as a
driver of environmental destruction, consumerism, and spiritual
disconnection.
*5. Sickness and Perversion*
- Technology is labeled as “sickness-promoting.”
- The body, mind, and environment suffer under the illusion of
"progress" and a "high standard of living" — the author sees this as a
tragic delusion.
------------------------------
*🌀 Stylistic Observations:*
- The prose is lyrical, symbolic, and deliberately non-linear — it
mirrors the flow of natural life, as opposed to the structured, analytical
style of scientific writing.
- Words like “sexing,” “zygotic rapture,” and “climate of Gaia” evoke a
primal, sensual spirituality.
- There's a strong use of contrasts: nature vs. machine, connection vs.
alienation, rapture vs. deadness.
------------------------------
*🧠 Interpretation & Reflection:*
This piece invites the reader to *re-evaluate their relationship with
technology, nature, and knowledge itself*. It challenges the assumption
that scientific and technological advancement equals human progress.
Instead, it argues that these advancements often *diminish our capacity for
joy, connection, and true education*.
It offers a bold, unapologetic *rejection of consumerist and industrial
culture*, calling it not only misguided but *dangerously pathological*.
------------------------------
*🔥 If You're Looking to Discuss Further:*
Here are a few directions we could go:
- Analyze it as eco-philosophy or deep ecology.
- Compare its message with thinkers like Ivan Illich, Arne Naess, or
Vandana Shiva.
- Explore the poetic structure more deeply and how it reinforces the
message.
- Offer a counterpoint or a nuanced view on science and nature.
Let me know how you’d like to engage further — would you like help refining
this into an essay, turning it into a poem, or expanding it into a
manifesto?
Absolutely — I’ll provide a *detailed evaluation* using a *holistic
literary rubric*, grading on key criteria such as content, originality,
coherence, style, and impact.
------------------------------
📝 *Evaluation of "Free Perception-Vs-The Science Imperialism" by YM Sarma* 1.
*Content & Thematic Depth (9/10)*
· Rich in philosophical insight and ecological critique.
· Themes of alienation, ecological harmony, and anti-consumerism
are strongly expressed.
· The metaphor of nature as "the ultimate school" is powerful and
thought-provoking.
· Loses a point for not clearly defining “science imperialism” —
the term could use more development or contextual support.
2. *Originality & Creativity (10/10)*
· Highly original in its synthesis of ecological philosophy, poetic
prose, and social critique.
· Bold use of language (e.g. “sexing,” “rapture form,” “climate of
Gaia”) adds freshness.
· The overall framing is unique and imaginative — blending nature
mysticism with cultural commentary.
3. *Structure & Coherence (6.5/10)*
· While the organic, flowing style matches the content, the piece
lacks clear structural organization.
· Some transitions feel abrupt; a few sentences are densely packed
and may confuse readers unfamiliar with the ideas.
· Could benefit from clearer paragraphing or markers to guide the
reader through the argument.
4. *Language & Style (8.5/10)*
· Poetic, lyrical, and emotionally resonant.
· Language is vivid and expressive; the use of repetition ("free
nature is happy nature") reinforces the message well.
· Some grammar and punctuation issues detract from flow (e.g.,
missing spaces, commas without spacing, run-on sentences).
5. *Emotional & Intellectual Impact (9/10)*
· Thought-provoking and passionate.
· Successfully evokes a visceral response — whether awe, guilt, or
reflection.
· Especially effective in contrasting natural ecstasy with
technological alienation.
------------------------------
📊 *Final Score: 43 / 50*
------------------------------
🎓 *Grade: A (Distinction)* ✅ Strengths:
· Deep, original philosophical insight.
· Strong emotional and aesthetic resonance.
· Effective and poetic use of language.
🔧 Areas for Improvement:
· Improve clarity and structure to enhance accessibility.
· Clean up punctuation and sentence boundaries.
· Elaborate slightly on key terms like “science imperialism” for
readers outside the philosophical/eco-activist context.
------------------------------
Would you like suggestions on how to revise this piece for publication,
submission, or performance? I’d be happy to help polish it further.
Certainly. Here's a *poem* inspired by the themes and imagery of *"Free
Perception-Vs-The Science Imperialism"*, written in a lyrical, free verse
style to reflect the natural, flowing spirit of the original piece:
------------------------------
*🌿 "The Last School is the Forest"*
I walked barefoot
on the laughing skin of Earth,
where moss breathes poems
and bees hum equations
the machines will never solve.
The soil whispered secrets
through the soles of my feet,
each step a lesson,
each breath — a conversation
with unseen lives
dancing beneath the roots.
The trees were teachers,
leaning in with leafy mouths,
telling stories of rain,
of wind-born lovers,
and zygotes formed in rapture
beneath the watchful moon.
I danced with the wind,
I sang with the sun,
I touched the sky
not by climbing
but by opening.
But then —
the wheel rolled in,
silent and sterile,
and the man in glass walls
said,
*"Efficiency."*
He paved over the syllables of birdsong,
sealed the soil beneath factories,
and sold me silence in a can
called "Progress."
He told me
a machine could carry me faster —
but it left behind the voices.
The scents.
The rapture.
Now,
he lives in air-conditioned tombs,
sells sugar and smoke,
says he’s conquered nature —
but forgot
what it meant
to listen.
And I?
I return to the forest,
to my classmates:
the ants, the worms,
the thunderclouds,
and the fungi prophets.
There,
no degree is needed,
no screen required.
Only breath,
only skin,
only soul.
The last school is the forest.
The final truth —
is felt.
