Memory is Unreliable

Later, when you greet someone who has forgotten you, don’t make her remember you. You can pretend to be her fan while saying “take care” as you leave. Perhaps there is suppressed trauma related to you. Maybe remembering you will cause her to stop functioning and lose her big idea regarding a new theory or contribution to civilization. Perhaps you’re not that important to her. Perhaps you are a disgrace/stain in her memory....

After Arsjad Rasyid Endgame Podcast

i imagine myself, goes traveling through all indonesia. selfies. this why i prefer cities human-made more than natures god-made nature is something perfect, but there is something progress in human made. i hate genius/priviledged for they lack of beauty of effort. something that makes it beautiful is the effort “back to nature” as we should climb to mountain or beach, but actually we can always go back in nature, to go true deep of ourselves, to go around city, to talk with friends, to see movies, or to go through neighborhood....

The Ultimate Form of Love Is Hate

Love is akin to a proving method in mathematics, and I absolutely detest proving methods. Why can’t it simply be intuitive speculation? Why do we need to prove? Why can’t we perceive the myriad forms of love? Being ignored constitutes a form of love. A mother’s anger is a form of affection. Tsunamis and earthquakes signify their love to unite with their victims. Hatred is one of the expressions of love....

Blind Positivity

The biggest problem, in my opinion, is toxic or blind positivity. It extends beyond mental health issues; it’s a broader societal concern. Here are the issues: It’s counterintuitive: In a job, when you’re more competent or efficient than your coworkers, what happens? You end up receiving more work, essentially punishment, while the incentives remain unchanged. The toxic entrepreneurial mindset suggests, “You should become an entrepreneur and work for yourself instead of others,” without considering:...

budaya tidak perlu didewakan budaya itu adalah makhluk dan juga produk, maka ia mengikuti product life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, decline belum ada cara untuk melawan enthropy, maka matikanlah ia yang ingin mati. dengan digitalisasi, semuanya bisa hidup abadi, maka budaya perlu dimatikan dan diabadikan. jangan menghidupi ia yang ingin mati. matikanlah budaya-budaya itu, kecuali ia yang ingin terikat dengannya, kecuali ia yang beridentitas dengannya. biarkan mereka mati dengan budayanya. dengan digitalisasi kita semua tau mereka akan abadi....

Smartband is a pain in the ass

Hatred is 'Fitrah'

Some gay people flee from Indonesia, and I strongly despise them. They accuse me of homophobia just because I’m Muslim, and we insult each other. Insulting each other is ‘fitrah’. A person mocking doesn’t realize they are doing so. Examples include: Javanese with a thick accent, Sundanese, Batak’s roughness, Malay style like Upin Ipin. Mocking each other is ‘fitrah’; we can’t stop it. Tolerance has never existed. The will to mock is the truth....

Peter Singer - Ordinary People Are Evil

Orang utilitarian gini mirip komunis lemah syahwat, selalu cari silver bullet untuk melengkapi lobang ideologinya. Kalo ga sesuai tinggal potong2 minoritas dan buang outlier selayak procustes tentang apa2 yang ga sesuai sama mereka karena kurang bisa menerima diversitas dan buru-buru ingin perfect. That’s why I love them. Dengan prinsip macam itu, saat mereka ditanya, “What makes you happy?” Jawaban paling berakhlak dan ethical yang paling dapat diterima harusnya gini:...

Building Surveillence-Driven System to Understand More about Religion Groups

I simply want to know what makes people enjoy this. Is it because of the good music? Is it because of the sense of togetherness? How much do they really love their prophet? I suspect that all the people who gather there are proficient in Arabic, which allows them to truly enjoy it. But my hypothesis is that the combination of any of these factors gives them a sense of flow and perceived enjoyment....
