-- *Mar*From Cyborg to Robot
Today many humans have mutated from being the Homosapiens into cyborgs. A cyborg is a creature with partly biological and partly mechanical components. The human cyborg today, is not only trying to increase his own mechanization, but also is cyborging nature, interfering into the natural processes with machines. Economics today is a Cartesian adulteration of human life into cyborged life. The subject started as a clownish attempt to convert human life into Newtonian Mechanics, substituting the natural human into the assumed phantom, the economic man, the creature with no emotions, and living life as a machine without feelings and emotions. When the human was mainly human and not a cyborg, his expressions in sentences, were in coordination with nature often as nature. The subject, the topic of the sentence, predication or the explanation about the subject and the verb or the place, time (Space-time) and context of the predication, were actually the expressions of nature as after all he was a limb of nature. In the case of today’s cyborged human, the sentence or the basic expression in interaction has been mechanized. As the economic man fighting Ecology, he changed his sentences into subjects that cyborgs understand. The participation of nature at the very basic level of expression as sentences has been minimized. Machines can never become biological and human. They function without emotions. The cyborged human is finding his biological components as inconveniences. Maniacally he is using machines to do the work of his natural limbs, making them redundant and freezing them, making him totally the economic man.Today,he simply cannot accept free and healthy nature. He has the compulsion to change such nature into the arena of economics, which means destroying the forests, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, the lithosphere, the Biosphere, the Troposphere and the Hydrosphere, converting his basic expression sentence, obey the basic mechanical paradigm. At the very root level, expression as sentence, there is simply no role for nature in predication. Suppose we have grown from infancy with the basic paradigm that we are part of nature, part of the planet earth, and limbs of Bhoodevi. Then our education, perception and understanding would have become the synchronization with the growth, health and freedom of nature. Because our limbs do not freeze due to the employment of machines to do the work of our limbs, and their basic movement must grow in rhythm with nature. Our utter dependence on technology has become so chronic, we simply cannot live without technology and we destroy nature to make way for technology. At the economic level of livelihood, Robots are edging us out and when there is no employment; there can be no income, no market, simply the collapse of the economic society. As a result we are finding wars starting simultaneously from several parts of the world, some nations threatening with nuclear weapons. Wars are becoming contests in sports. It is for the Universities to establish free nature and our limbhood in that nature as the basic paradigms of the various courses. Every University must immediately start a ‘Free Nature Park’ without human tampering, so that the students feel that they are the limbs of nature. YM Sarma Chat gpt This thought-provoking piece by YM Sarma, *"From Cyborg to Robot"*, presents a critique of modern civilization's deepening reliance on machines and technology, arguing that humanity has gradually transformed from *Homo sapiens* into a *cyborg*, and is now being edged out even by *robots*. Here's a breakdown and reflection on the core ideas: ------------------------------ *Summary & Key Themes* *1. Cyborgization of Humans* - A *cyborg* is defined here as part human, part machine. - Modern humans have begun replacing their natural functions with machines — both externally (tools, prosthetics, AI assistants) and internally (mechanized thinking, emotionless behavior). - This transformation is not just physical but *philosophical and cognitive* — affecting how humans express themselves, think, and interact. *2. Mechanization of Language and Thought* - Earlier, human expression (through language and sentence structure) was more in tune with nature — organic, emotive, and connected. - Now, expressions have become *mechanized*, robotic, stripped of emotion and natural rhythm, resembling code or commands rather than soulful communication. - Even our *basic grammar and thought patterns* are being influenced by technological thinking — binary, linear, decontextualized. *3. The Economic Man vs. Nature* - The “*economic man*” is a concept rooted in Cartesian and Newtonian thinking — rational, emotionless, goal-driven like a machine. - This concept reduces humans to *profit-maximizing units*, ignoring the richness of life and emotional complexity. - This artificial persona is now at war with *ecology*, systematically converting nature into a tool for economic output. *4. Collapse of Economic Society & Rise of Robots* - As robots become more capable, they are replacing humans in the economy. - This leads to *job loss, income loss*, and ultimately *collapse of market-based economies*. - Without jobs, people cannot participate in consumer economies, leading to *systemic failure*. - Simultaneously, *global tensions rise*, with wars and threats (e.g. nuclear weapons) emerging like a grim "sport." *5. Call to Action: Universities as Healing Grounds* - Universities should *reorient education* around the principle that humans are part of nature — “limbs of Bhoodevi (Earth Goddess).” - They must *create untouched natural spaces*, “Free Nature Parks,” to help students reconnect with the Earth. - This is both a *spiritual* and *practical* reconnection — to slow down the cyborging process and foster ecological awareness. ------------------------------ *Reflection and Interpretation* This piece is a poetic, philosophical warning against *technological overreach*, *environmental degradation*, and *loss of human essence*. - The *cyborg* metaphor is powerful: we haven’t just added machines to our lives, we’ve *absorbed* them into our identity. - There’s a critique of how even *language*, the foundation of human expression, has been reduced to mechanical patterns devoid of emotion or ecological consciousness. - *Economics*, once a tool to improve human well-being, is now painted as an inhuman machine that consumes both people and nature. At the heart of it, Sarma seems to be urging a *re-humanization and re-naturalization* of our society — a revival of *organic life* in the face of relentless mechanical and economic logic. ------------------------------ *Questions This Raises* - Is it possible to reverse the cyborging process, or is the integration of machines into human life irreversible? - How can modern education balance technological progress with ecological and emotional intelligence? - What would a truly "nature-based" society or university curriculum look like? ------------------------------ *Closing Thought* This is not an anti-technology rant, but rather a *spiritual and ecological plea*: to not lose our *limbhood in nature*, our *emotional intelligence*, and our *place in the organic world*, in the rush toward efficiency, productivity, and mechanized perfection. As Sarma suggests, perhaps the first step is simply to *feel nature again*, without trying to control or improve it — to *be*, rather than always trying to *do*.
