The switch-over from physical work to mental work / desk jobs has destroyed this planet in hundred years........You can do the same physical work day after day, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.......But you cannot do the same mental work again and again........Once you have solved a problem of mathematics you cannot keep solving it again and again........You need a new problem, a different problem.
The madness of wanting something new all the time......The madness of chasing something new all the time came with the switch-over from physical work to mental work.
.
.
Physical Work, Subjective Experience, Religion and Spirituality did not destroy the planet in millions of years..........Scientific / Technological Thinking has destroyed the planet in just hundred years.
We can use our time and energy for three kinds of activities........Physical Work, Subjective Work (Experience) and Mental Work.
For millions of years environment did not get destroyed because activity was limited to physical work or subjective experience.........Millions of animal species did physical work........Man did physical work in hunter_gatherer stage and agrarian stage.......A very small percentage of population that did not do physical work spent its time and energy on subjective experience - religion, spirituality, yoga, meditation, pranayama and the arts.
Largescale destruction of environment began when man started using his time and energy for mental work - Science, Technology, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Business, Finance, Economics.........This led to invention of industrial machines running on Steam, Electricity and Oil........This led to industrialization and production (and selling) of thousands of consumer goods and services.
As long as we limited our activity to physical work or subjective experience we destroyed very little environment.
When we switched over to Scientific / Technological Thinking, we started producing (and selling) thousands of consumer goods in millions of industries and corporations and ended up destroying the planet in just about 100 years.

Degrees = Destruction.
Millions of other species did not go to university and they did not destroy this planet in millions of years........Forest man did not go to university and he did not destroy this planet in hundreds of thousands of years.........Agrarian man did not go to university and he destroyed very little environment in 10,000 years........Industrial man went to university and he has destroyed this planet in just hundred years.
Education Industry is the mother of all environmental destruction..
Industry has destroyed forests, rivers, oceans and atmosphere........Industry has decimated millions of land and marine species........The farmer is not running industry........The non-farming population is running industry........Urban population is running industry........Billions of university graduates are running millions of industries and corporations that have destroyed this planet.........Billions of Scientists, Engineers, MBA's, Economists, Business and Finance Graduates are running millions of industries and corporations that have destroyed this planet.
.
.
You can never escape from chaos, madness and destruction once you have created extra jobs and professions.........Industrial society has done just that........Industrial society has created hundreds of extra and destructive professions for its urban population which is not producing food which was the main occupation for thousands of years before industrialization.
.
.
For millions of years there was just one main activity / occupation on earth - "Searching for Food" / "Producing Food"..........Urban population of industrial society is the anomaly that is producing consumer goods and services.
For millions of years, both adults and the offspring of millions of animal species "searched for food".
For 1 million years in hunter_gatherer society both adults and children "searched for food".
For 10,000 years in agrarian society, most of the adults and children "produced food"
In industrial society (running on electricity and oil) which has only existed for 100 years, urban adults are producing consumer goods and services in industries and corporations..........Their children go to schools and universities where they learn how to produce and sell consumer goods in future.
.
.
"Food Searching Species" did not destroy environment in millions of years........"Food Producing Society" destroyed very little environment in 10,000 years........"Consumer Goods Producing Society" has destroyed the planet in just 100 years.
Millions of other species destroyed environment only for food........Industrial man has destroyed environment for food, clothing, shelter PLUS thousands of consumer goods and services........Industrial man has destroyed exponential extra environment........This has destroyed the whole planet in hundred years.
.
How can one species get food, clothing, shelter PLUS thousands of consumer goods and services PLUS salary, pension, insurance, healthcare and welfare on a small planet which is just 40,000 km in circumference when millions of other species got only food from earth for millions of years???
Height of Insanity........Insanity raised to the power of Infinity.
Industrial society gave more and more to humans by taking away more and more from millions of other species.
Industrial society has destroyed in hundred years what nature created in millions of years.
.
.
Urban jobs and professions have destroyed the planet.
The entire urban population of industrial society is criminal.
The crime goes unchecked because 50% of world population is now urban.
The crime goes unchecked because urban population is running the system.
.
For hundred years the urban population of industrial society has been fooling the non-urban population with numbers, figures and terminologies.......Progress, Development, Growth Rate, Economy Rate, GDP.
If Urban Society stops its supplies to Rural Society it will live forever.
If Rural Society stops its supplies to Urban Society it will die within a month.
That is the worth of Urban Jobs, Consumer Goods, Growth Rate, Economy Rate and GDP.
.
.
Billions of urban people working in millions of industries and corporations will never try to bring down the system because they are getting salaries and packages from the very system that is killing the planet.......They are getting pensions, profits and funds from the very system that is killing all life and life sustaining things on earth.
.
.
What do you do when 50% of world population is criminal?.......How does society deal with criminals?.......It forcibly stops their destructive work, sends them to jail and gives them food for free......What do you do when 50% of world population is criminal?
Give free food to the urban population but stop urban work for production of thousands of consumer goods immediately........A fraction of world population is already producing food for entire population.
.
.
Man has spent more than 99.9% of his time on earth in non-industrial societies.
Man lived in forests for hundreds of thousands of years........Man lived in villages in agrarian society for 10,000 years........Man has lived in industrial society (which runs on electricity and oil) for just about 100 years during which he has destroyed the entire planet.
.
.
Industrialization was the biggest crime on earth.
Agrarian society was the limit for man on earth.
Stop Education.....Close Down Universities.
Stop Urban Work.....Close Down the Cities.

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment
By Shushil Yadav
In 1971 Marvin Gaye released a song about ecology. In 2020, too many people are still oblivious to this reality despite the popularity of the song and its lyrics.
