The Ecological Human-Vs-The Economic Man
Markendeya Yeddanapudi
Ecology studies the total macro DNA of the Biosphere as one single organism. It needs the feeling method of education, to feel and understand the diverse base pairs and genes that sustain the symbiotic, emotional and existential links of organisms that ultimately make the planet earth into the living Goddess Gaia. Emotions and feelings function as the blood circulation system among the organisms, the feelings and emotions of each being perceived and understood by the organisms, so that each organism performs its ecological role by living ecologically and symbiotically.
There is a macro rhythm that governs the lives of the diverse organisms. If the Biosphere is healthy, then every organism too becomes healthy. It is just like your body, where healthy body means healthy cells and healthy bacteria that enable the cells to function. Healthy nature creates the healthy you, creating the happy ease of living, the opposite of diseased living.
Economics is the antonym of Ecology. It studies the economic man, a machine that functions as per the principles of Newtonian mechanics. It is not the human being, or the human organism of Ecology. It is just a machine amenable to mathematics and mechanics. It is not a human being. It is not governed by the subject Human Psychology but only my Newtonian mechanics. The ideal of the economic man is to convert the internal hormonal communication, into a lubrication system of machine-the hormones that do not respond to emotions and feelings.
The latest economic man is the Robot. He is driving out the ecological humans from the economies. A Robot can do every work, better than a human being.The human are facing the mass economic death or the ultimate economic genocide. When jobs are lost, markets vanish and the result is death of trade and commerce, the extinction of every institution and organization.
The attempt of economics, to make the humans live outside the Biosphere; anti ecologically is coming to the dead end.
We need urgently free nature, fill every village, town and city with trees, even forests, as far as possible. A forest shelters the Biosphere, not merely trees.
The revival of free nature has millions of jobs. We must realize that any and every machine basically harms and diseases nature. Nature needs freedom. Creating the free nature is a very complicated and gigantic task.
The Universities have to substitute economics with ecology. They must contain free forests, along with only functional and not grand buildings. There shall be subjects that deal with each organism, keeping in view its ecological needs and the rules of nature that govern the symbiotic ecology.
The Universities must stop producing new corps of nature destroyers every year. They must start ‘The Free Nature Parks without human Tampering.

Here’s my evaluation of your piece "The Ecological Human vs. The Economic Man" — both in terms of writing quality and conceptual strength — along with a suggested polished version that preserves your core message.
Evaluation
Strengths
- Big Picture Vision – You’ve framed ecology not just as a science but as a feeling-based, interconnected system, using Gaia imagery effectively.
- Moral Urgency – The contrast between "ecological human" and "economic man" is stark and thought-provoking.
- Imagery and Metaphors – Comparing emotional exchanges to blood circulation and economic man to a Newtonian machine makes the contrast vivid.
- Call to Action – You provide a concrete (though ambitious) solution: replacing economics with ecology in universities and reviving forests.
Areas for Improvement
- Clarity and Flow – Some sentences are long and carry too many ideas at once; breaking them will improve readability.
- Repetition – Several points are repeated (e.g., machines harming nature, free nature revival) without adding new information.
- Terminology Precision – The term "macro DNA of the Biosphere" is poetic but could confuse scientifically minded readers unless clarified.
- Balance of Passion and Precision – Passionate language is good, but overly strong claims (like "any and every machine harms nature") might alienate readers unless nuanced.
Marks & Grade
- Content & Ideas – 9/10 (very original and deeply reflective)
- Structure & Flow – 7.5/10 (good sections, but needs smoother transitions)
- Language & Clarity – 7/10 (effective metaphors, but some sentences are heavy)
- Overall Grade – A-

The Ecological
Human vs. The Economic Man
By YM Sarma
Ecology views the biosphere as a single living organism, where each life form plays a role in maintaining the planet’s health. This vast system—sometimes imagined as the living Goddess Gaia—depends on countless emotional, biological, and symbiotic exchanges, much like the circulation of blood in a body. When the biosphere is healthy, all its inhabitants flourish; when it sickens, all suffer.
Economics, by contrast, studies the "economic man"—a mechanical being governed by Newtonian logic, divorced from emotion and the living cycles of nature. In this model, humans become machines, their hormonal responses reduced to mechanical lubrication. The ultimate economic man is the robot, which now replaces ecological humans in the workforce. As machines take over, jobs vanish, markets collapse, and social institutions face extinction.
The push to live outside the biosphere—anti-ecologically—is reaching a dead end. Our survival depends on restoring free nature: filling towns and cities with trees, creating forests, and sheltering entire ecosystems. Such work could generate millions of jobs. But we must accept that most machines damage nature, and that the protection of the biosphere is a complex, urgent task.
Universities must lead this transformation. Economics must give way to ecology as the guiding discipline, with campuses designed around functional, modest buildings and vast forested areas. Academic programs should focus on the ecological needs of each species and the natural laws that govern life. Above all, universities must stop producing graduates who inadvertently destroy nature, and instead create spaces—true free nature parks—where the biosphere can thrive without human interference.
If you like, I
can also create a side-by-side comparison of your original and the
edited version so you can see exactly what changed and why.
Do you want me to prepare that next?
Here’s a poem inspired by your piece "The Ecological Human vs. The Economic Man" — keeping the tone urgent, reflective, and hopeful.
🌿 The
Song of the Ecological Human
By YM Sarma
The Earth is a
single breath,
a heartbeat shared by leaf and lung,
its rivers pulse through root and vein,
its winds are songs the stars have sung.
We were born in
the garden’s embrace,
taught the rhythm of rain and seed,
to feel the sorrow of a withered tree,
to share the joy of a bird in need.
But we built
the cold, metallic man,
gears in place of dreams and hands,
he counts the coins, ignores the clouds,
and breaks the web that life demands.
Now robots walk
where forests stood,
and silence falls on fields once bright,
yet still the soil remembers us—
it calls us home, it holds us tight.
So plant the
seed, release the sky,
let rivers wander where they will,
be once again the Earth’s own child—
the garden waits for us, still.
I can also
write you a shorter, sharper version that reads like a rallying cry for
action.
Shall I do that too?

"Ecological human" refers to the concept of humans as part of, and interacting with, the natural environment. It encompasses the study of how humans are influenced by their surroundings and how they, in turn, impact the environment. This field, often called human ecology, draws from various disciplines like biology, sociology, and anthropology to understand these complex relationships.
Human ecology is an interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamic relationships between humans and their environment. It examines how humans interact with the physical, biological, cultural, and social aspects of their surroundings, and how these interactions shape both human populations and the environment. Human ecology focuses on understanding the reciprocal relationships between humans and their environment. This includes how humans adapt to their environment, how they modify it, and how these actions affect ecosystems and human well-being. It integrates knowledge from various fields like biology, sociology, anthropology, geography, and economics to provide a comprehensive understanding of human-environment interactions. Human ecology also addresses issues of sustainability, exploring how human activities can be managed to ensure the long-term health and resilience of both human populations and the environment. It recognizes that human behavior and social structures play a crucial role in shaping environmental impacts, including cultural beliefs, economic systems, and political institutions.
Studying the spatial distribution of human populations in cities and how urban environments affect human health and well-being.
Cultural Ecology: Examining how cultural practices influence human adaptation to different environments and how these practices shape ecosystems.
Environmental Impacts of Human Activities: Analyzing the consequences of human actions, such as deforestation, pollution, and resource extraction, on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Sustainability Science: Exploring how human societies can achieve sustainable development by balancing human needs with environmental conservation.
Understanding Human-Environment Interactions: It provides a framework for understanding the complex interplay between humans and their environment, which is crucial for addressing environmental challenges.
Informing Policy and Management: Human ecological research can inform policies and management strategies aimed at promoting sustainable development and environmental conservation.
Promoting Environmental Stewardship: By raising awareness about the interconnectedness of humans and the environment, it can foster a sense of responsibility for environmental protection.
In essence, "ecological humans" highlights the idea that humans are not separate from nature but rather an integral part of it, with both the capacity to significantly impact and be impacted by their environment. IF SO, WHY HUMAN ALONE MUST TAKE CARE OF NAATURE AND WHY NOT NATURE NATURALLY? BOTH ARE SPECIE WITH THE LIFE.
The New Human Ecology
It is the time to talk about the joy of change. We are creating hope out of the goodness we find within ourselves and driven by the innate value of all species and ecosystems. They surround us and cheer us on invisibly and silently. We have learned about the importance and difficulty of protecting ecosystems. While we should celebrate our successes, there are two reasons we are not winning the struggle: Not enough of us are engaged in preventing the harm we are doing to Earth, and we have not agreed on universal principles and methods to achieve equally universal goals like the Seven Results. We can change that.
The premise behind the new human ecology and its Seven Results is simple: Life needs from us not one new behavior, but many. A single toxic element in a stream can kill all life. If one of the Seven Results is missing, the others will be ineffective. If we add 2.3 billion more people to Earth in 38 years, we will continue to lose ecosystems at an accelerating rate; billions of people already here will live in poverty forever.
The Seven Results are the goals of the new human ecology. We change our behaviors to create them. For most of us:
The first fast track to the Seven Results is created when we change what we consume, from the organic grains we choose to the hair products we buy. We stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy, and discover the thousands of plant species to eat. We stop buying SUVs. We choose smaller homes and change how we heat and cool them. We stop buying leather shoes and leather car interiors. We boycott businesses that imprison orca whales.
The second fast track is to stop making babies. One child at most can be enough for each family. We must reduce our populations now; slowing or leveling off population growth is not a sustainable, humane, and biocentric option.
The third fast track is our love, empathy, and compassion. It will deliver us to social and economic justice as it will to species' rights. Do not underestimate its power to sustain us as we learn how to change our human ecology. We will wake up to the needs of impoverished people and invest in their desire to be in control of their lives.
That is the abbreviated way we create hope.
The Seven Results Revisited
In chapter 1, I described the Seven Results we must create if we are to thrive ecologically and morally as a species. Here they are revisited:
Healthy, intact ecosystems that dominate global landscapes and seascapes and require little to no human intervention
A vegan, organic, and humane consumer lifestyle oriented to sustainable efficiencies and relationships
Social and economic justice for all with transparency in public and corporate institutions
An immediate, negative population growth based on natural attrition
Economic systems that are ecologically sustainable and restorative, enable social and economic justice, moral, humane, and operate within the new human ecology
An increase in empathy, love, and compassion toward all beings and ecosystems
Appropriate, sustainable, and equitable consumption of goods and services
All Seven Results are required to create the new human ecology.
Each of the Seven Results has a synergistic effect on the other six. They feed and strengthen one another to create a solid new human ecology. Moving to a vegan ecosystem niche and steeply reducing human populations may feel like radical steps, but consider how radically unsustainable and harmful we are living today. The Seven Results signal a de-radicalization of our current human ecology. They are direct and pragmatic goals. Life will be better for us because it will be better for all species.
Getting agreement on the details of each of the Seven Results will be a challenge. Vested economic interests and powerful institutions are, like us, innately resistant to cultural and personal change. Social and economic justice, one of the Seven Results, sounds good, but there will be vivid disagreement about how we achieve it. The bigger the change, and this is big, the more we will tend to avoid it and find reasons to reject anything outside of our comfort zones, worldviews, and ideologies. We are strong enough to do this.
We are walking away from the carnist, morally inept, current human ecology because it leads directly to a future none will be able to bear, a future no good soul would choose. If we make the right choices, we may be able to create an environmentally sustainable and humane future, but only if there is a consensus that there exist some universal human values and behaviors that are adaptable to ecosystems on the scale Earth needs.
The Seven Results are purposefully and by necessity broad. Yet they assume that specific human behaviors will be needed to produce them. How we achieve each of the Seven Results will be a creative process. Those few billions of us who have access to wealth and resources have the greatest ability and responsibility to implement the Seven Results immediately. That does not exclude what can be done in the presence of poverty. For all of us, rich and poor, this is our species' moment, our era.
