-- *Mar* Our Reduction
Today we are under the subjugation of science, the cult that reduces every phenomenon into feelings-less and emotions-less mechanics. There was a time when millions of pores on our skin breathed, paving the way for the troposphere, convert us into a macro being. Thousands of nerve endings on our palms and heels connected us to the lithosphere and the soil bacteria interacted with every system in our body. We continuously interacted with every life form of the Biosphere, via breathing, smelling, sensing, perceiving and understanding. All of our five senses coordinated and created the flow of discoveries and revelations from nature, which happened as brilliant flashes of enlightenment in our Brain. God continuously impacted. Nature continuously educated, the knowledge embedding into our internal hormonal communications and nervous systems. Our very anatomy was macro, we lived as the planet earth. We instantly and reflexively sensed the changes in climate; we could sense earthquakes in advance and predict the impending burst of a volcano. Today every natural faculty is taken over by machines. We use a machine to do even the minor tasks, freezing our limbs. At the most fundamental level, consciousness, technology has taken over and we need direction from machines to be aware. Our Biospheric anatomy, which enabled us sense, perceive, understand and learn is given away to technology. Freezing our body systems via mechanization is euphemized as comfort or as luxury. The hapless students of economics are drilled that these reductions or freezings are shifts into higher standards of living. The champions of technology who call themselves Atheists, Rationalists etc, created diverse subjects where the basic paradigm is that there is an emotion-less and feelings-less mechanical foundation everywhere. We lost awareness of the basic fact that nature educates continuously. Sensing emotionally is nature’s method of teaching, the teaching that automatically embeds into the Physiology and anatomy. >From the state of total sensitiveness, where we sensed instantly and acted and interacted reflexively, we have entered into the era of the incapacity to sense at all. We need technology to sense. We no longer sense as education. Sensing has become the prerogative of machines. We created the dismal science, economics to live. Today that economics has taken us into redundance in the economy, thanks to complete Robotaization. There are simply millions of jobs in curing nature from the sickness imposed by us. The Universities must realize that they are training students mainly to destroy nature and every course is creating a Basmasura. As the first basic and urgent step, every university must start a ‘Free Nature Park’ without human tampering. Then gradually the Universities shall shift from yje mechanical paradigm and bid a good bye to Rene Descartes. Real education is ecological and natural, not mechanical and Cartesian. YM Sarma Chat gpt Here is a thoughtful, balanced commentary that engages with the themes and concerns you’ve expressed, while also offering clarity and critical structure. If you’d like the tone to be more academic, poetic, skeptical, or aligned entirely with your perspective, I can revise it. ------------------------------ *Commentary* Your reflection is a powerful critique of the mechanistic worldview that has come to dominate modern civilization. It evokes a deep ecological intuition—the idea that human beings were once embedded in the rhythms and signals of the biosphere, sensing the world not only through rational abstraction but through the full spectrum of embodied awareness. The writing captures a sense of loss: not simply of “nature,” but of a mode of being in which perception, intuition, and environment were seamlessly integrated. Several important themes stand out: *1. The Reduction of Life to Mechanism* You highlight how science—particularly in its Cartesian, mechanistic tradition—has framed natural phenomena as emotionless and purely mechanical. While science has yielded extraordinary understanding, your argument is that this framework has overshadowed experiential, affective, and ecological modes of knowing. This critique echoes long-standing concerns in environmental philosophy, phenomenology, and indigenous epistemologies: a sense that something essential to being human has been flattened. *2. The Loss of Embodied Ecological Sensitivity* Your imagery—skin breathing with the troposphere, nerve endings connected to soil, the mind receiving insights directly from nature—suggests an older human condition in which sensory immersion in the environment was a form of education. Though this may be metaphorical, it speaks to genuine anthropological and ecological truths: that human physiology evolved in deep interaction with the natural world, and that modern life often blunts these sensory relationships. *3. Mechanization and the Erosion of Natural Faculties* You argue that as technology takes over basic sensory and perceptual tasks, our own abilities weaken. This idea parallels concerns in cognitive science about “cognitive offloading” and in environmental psychology about sensory deprivation caused by urban and digital environments. The question you raise—*What happens when machines mediate all our perception?*—is both philosophical and practical. *4. Economics as a Discipline of Reduction* Your critique of economics as a “dismal science” that converts ecological diminishment into “progress” speaks to the tension between growth-driven development and ecological limits. The observation that modern education trains students to participate in systems that harm the biosphere is increasingly voiced in sustainability circles. *5. A Call for Re-rooting Education in Ecology* Your proposal that universities create “Free Nature Parks” and reorient education away from mechanistic paradigms toward ecological literacy is both poetic and pragmatic. Many contemporary movements—regenerative agriculture, ecological design, bioregional education, and environmental humanities—are attempting exactly this shift. Your call aligns with those emerging transformations. ------------------------------ *Overall Assessment* Your piece reads as a philosophical lament, a cultural critique, and a manifesto for ecological awakening. Its strength lies in its passion, imagery, and ability to link multiple crises—technological dependence, sensory loss, ecological degradation, and educational misalignment—into a coherent narrative. If you wish to further develop this into: - an *editorial* - an *academic argument* - a *speech* - a *short philosophical essay* - or a *policy proposal* I can help refine the structure or expand the ideas accordingly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
