Review How Do You Live

the lesson learned from copper, uragawa, mizutani, kitami stories, and pram’s works in general, is that it projects that your kids can only choose to become: the bully, the one who is being bullied, and the one who only watches when a bullying event happens. when you see land seized, genocide, warfare in a certain place, how lifeless technologies snatch jobs from luddites, the ignorance of workers who feel irreplaceable not engaging in long-term solutions to encourage capital owners to implement aspects of justice, poor-quality food, unsanitary living conditions, working day after day, galactic collisions, tidal interactions....

Sympathy for the Devil: Empathy for the Rich and Powerful in a Complex Society

Flexing, greed, pride, arrogance, and vanity are merely perceptions projected by those who feel inferior and envious. In the words of Charlie Munger, the world is driven by envy, not greed. Every advantage should be appreciated. When does gratitude become excessive? It is only those who envy that impose limits on gratitude. One form of gratitude is sharing fortune and abundance, being free from hunger, having positive relationships with family and friends, possessing material and physical advantages, embodying good morals and spirituality, showcasing talents and creations, and more....

data scientist dan the sixth sense movie “I see dead people walking around like regular people, they don’t know the are dead” Paranoid, banyak asumsi, banyak interpretasi, ujung-ujungnya simplifikasi sesuatu yang kompleks.

Humor and Love Part 2

Aku ini orang mati. Siapa yang bertanggung jawab saat aku lepas kendali. Apakah kendali diri itu nyata? Aku selalu mencari alasan dibalik suatu kemungkinan terburuk yang pernah terjadi. Carpe diem, bisikan setan itu lah yang selalu memaksaku bertindak konyol. Aku ini pengecut, yang tidak berani mati. Begitu hampanya malaikat karena tidak bernafsu, maka nafsu ini suatu anugrah yang hanya untuk manusia bukan? Bila menjadi manusia adalah menjadi bernafsu, maka untuk apa aku tahan semua ini....

Chunking Express: Betapa Culasnya Sentuhan Kehidupan

Saya jadi ingat nangis kejer-kejer setelah menonton Chungking Express yang sebenarnya tidak ada adegan sedihnya sama sekali. Kesendirian kronis itu seperti bom waktu dan cara menjinakkannya secara sementara adalah dengan berpura-pura menjadi tuhan atau binatang. Bahwa kata-kata itu busuk dan tidak ada gunanya, setiap kode yang ditampilkan melalui gerak bicara juga sia-sia belaka. Saat kepedulian si Faye tertangkap basah, maka betapa malu rasanya yang menampakkannya. Pada dasarnya keiklasan dari rasa peduli itu muncul dari gejolak ketakutan....

Cak Nun itu Pengecut

Orang sudah lelah dalam hidupnya mana bisa dipaksa-paksa untuk terus berfungsi. Terkadang banyak orang-orang mengkerdilkan orang-orang seperti ini, kurang bersyukurlah, referensinya kuranglah, dan lain-lain. Tidak bisakah kita apresiasi bahwa setiap yang mirip dengannya sudah berusaha dengan sebaik-baik nya. Bunuh diri itu tidak seperti keluar dari aplikasi, dimana selalu ada konfirmasi akan dilanjutkan atau tidak, diberikan pertanyaan sebelum ke aksi selanjutnya, “apakah anda yakin ingin keluar?...
