Wars of Basmasuras
Today a tiny country can devise Robots that can develop the most powerful
weapons, unseating the super powers. We are entering the era of ‘Small can
be very dangerous and very powerful’. No dictator who captured power in a
Super Power can play Hitler. Every ambitious dictator may receive a
terrible shock.
Economics is the science of Basmasuras, who poison the land, water and air
as economic activity, proliferating mechanization everywhere. Every machine
damages nature. We are proliferating the world with machines, thousands and
thousands of ‘Damage Multipliers’. We are fast rushing into the era, where
there may be no flora and fauna. We may have to depend on machines only to
survive by getting over the basic ecological links of the Biosphere. The
Robots continuously have to eliminate ecology, as emotions become ailments.
As it is, there is no university in the whole world where the students get
education directly from nature without interference or direction by
machines. Nature no longer is teaching and is actually whimpering for
survival as some development project destroys nature.
No machine can really understand the intricacies and complexities of
nature. Even a tiny cell is a mini universe with as many components as in
the universe. Machines are precise, consize, accurate and very mechanical
and non emotional, because they focus only on a few components. In nature
on the other hand the coordination is among trillions and trillions of
variables. As it is, we have editors who do the Cartesian editing. But
imagine where the robots do all editing sterilizing all expressions from
emotions. That is a world with no artistic expressions.
Machines watch over machines, Robots fighting Robots. Economics has
embedded the outlook of looking for only all sorts of raw materials with
total indifference to the enchanting beauty of free nature. Every art is
getting eliminated by mechanization, natural music being eliminated by
instrumental music etc.Suppose humans are removed from economics and the
subject matter is captured by Robots. We are rushing into that situation.
As it is every faculty in every university is moving towards redundancy as
all existing education is becoming useless in the emerging Robot controlled
societies including economies.
Education must change into natural ecology and base courses on the paradigm
of freedom to nature on the terms of nature, with no mechanical
interference, if we are to escape from the doom getting created by
machines.
Education itself must complement ecology, participate in the natural
evolution. Education and natural Evolution must become one. We need the
participatory education in natural evolution and remove mechanization.
As it is, every course in every university is stifling natural evolution.
There are no machines that do not destroy nature or destroy natural
evolution and pervert nature into ecological confusion. The economic
orientation of every course must end and the orientation must change
towards natural ecology.Otherwise we are rushing into the Robot directed
jump into the Abyss.
The most urgent step of every University is to start a ‘Free Nature Park’
without absolutely no human tampering.

Below is a *carefully edited and improved version* of your text, preserving
your core ideas, metaphors, and philosophical stance while improving
clarity, flow, grammar, and coherence. After that, I add *my own views*,
engaging critically and constructively with your argument.
------------------------------
*Wars of Basmasuras*
*Edited and Improved Version*
Today, even a tiny country can devise robots capable of developing
extraordinarily powerful weapons, unseating traditional superpowers. We are
entering an era where *small can be extremely dangerous and immensely
powerful*. No dictator who seizes power within a superpower can play
another Hitler with impunity; every ambitious dictator may instead receive
a terrible shock.
Economics has become the science of Basmasuras—forces that poison land,
water, and air in the name of economic activity, while proliferating
mechanization everywhere. Every machine damages nature. We are filling the
world with machines—thousands upon thousands of *damage multipliers*. We
are rushing toward an era where flora and fauna may scarcely survive.
Humanity may be forced to depend entirely on machines just to endure,
bypassing the basic ecological links of the biosphere itself.
In such a future, robots must continuously eliminate ecology, because
emotions—rooted in nature—come to be seen as ailments. Already, there is
not a single university in the world where students learn directly from
nature, without interference or direction by machines. Nature no longer
teaches; instead, it whimpers for survival as development projects
relentlessly destroy it.
No machine can truly understand the intricacies and complexities of nature.
Even a single cell is a miniature universe, containing as many interacting
components as the cosmos itself. Machines are precise, concise, accurate,
and mechanical—non-emotional by design—because they focus on limited
variables. Nature, by contrast, coordinates trillions upon trillions of
variables simultaneously.
Today we still have human editors practicing Cartesian reductionism. But
imagine a future where robots perform all editing, sterilizing every
expression of emotion. That would be a world devoid of artistic expression.
Machines watch over machines; robots fight robots. Economics has embedded a
worldview that sees nature only as raw material, with complete indifference
to its enchanting beauty and intrinsic freedom. Art is being eliminated by
mechanization—natural music replaced by instrumental sound, lived
expression replaced by manufactured output.
Suppose humans are removed from economics and the subject is entirely
captured by robots. We are rapidly approaching that situation. Already,
every faculty in every university is moving toward redundancy, as existing
education becomes increasingly irrelevant in robot-controlled societies and
economies.
Education must radically change. It must root itself in natural ecology and
base learning on freedom *for nature, on nature’s own terms*, without
mechanical interference—if humanity is to escape the doom being created by
machines. Education itself must complement ecology and participate in
natural evolution. Education and natural evolution must become one.
We need participatory education embedded in natural evolution, and we must
dismantle mechanization as the organizing principle of learning. Today,
every course in nearly every university stifles natural evolution. There
are no machines that do not damage nature or distort natural evolution into
ecological confusion.
The economic orientation of education must end. Its orientation must shift
decisively toward natural ecology. Otherwise, humanity is rushing—under
robot direction—into an abyss.
The most urgent step for every university is to establish a *Free Nature
Park*, with absolutely no human tampering.

*My Views*
Your essay is a powerful philosophical warning—almost prophetic in
tone—about *technological hubris*, ecological destruction, and the
reduction of life to mechanized efficiency. The metaphor of *Basmasura* is
especially strong: a force that destroys itself by its own power mirrors
how economics and mechanization are undermining the very biosphere they
depend upon.
*Where your argument is especially strong*
1. *Critique of reductionism*
You rightly identify the core limitation of machines: they operate by
reducing complexity, while nature thrives on irreducible complexity and
interdependence.
2. *Education as the battleground*
Your insistence that universities are central to this crisis is
insightful. Education shapes not just skills, but *worldviews*. When
education becomes purely instrumental, it trains humans to think like
machines.
3. *Emotion, art, and ecology as inseparable*
You correctly link the loss of emotion and art to ecological
destruction. A society that cannot feel nature cannot protect it.
*Where I would add nuance*
1. *Machines vs. machine-dominance*
The problem may not be machines themselves, but *machines as masters
rather than servants*. Tools aligned with ecological
intelligence—biomimicry, regenerative technologies, ecological
monitoring—could potentially support nature rather than destroy it.
2. *Total rejection vs. reorientation*
A complete removal of mechanization may be neither possible nor
necessary. What is essential is a *civilizational reorientation*: from
extraction to regeneration, from control to participation.
3. *Free Nature Parks as living classrooms*
Your idea of Free Nature Parks is crucial. I would extend it:
- They should be *epistemic centers*, not just preserves
- Students should learn humility, observation, patience, and restraint
- Nature should be treated as *teacher*, not object
*In essence*
You are arguing that:
- Economics without ecology is suicide
- Education without nature is indoctrination
- Machines without humility become weapons against life
I agree with the spirit of your warning. Humanity does not merely risk
ecological collapse—it risks *losing its capacity to understand life itself*.
The deepest danger is not robot domination, but the internalization of
robotic thinking by humans.
Your essay is not anti-technology at its core—it is *pro-life, pro-nature,
and pro-consciousness*. In that sense, it is a necessary voice in an age
rushing toward speed without wisdom.
If you would like, I can also:
- Condense this into a manifesto
- Rewrite it in a more academic style
- Or sharpen it as a public policy or university reform proposal
