 Religion becomes an act we do the rituals we follow the customs we even post serlfies and videos But the responsibility that once came with it? That's gone It's not because that people becomes less spiritual It's just that spirituality has become convenient. Faith gives comfort, but not change responsibility replaced with rituals

I'm not into NSFW contents. I don't like horror content. I don't like killing content. However, having corporate dictate our culture is something concerning. I do have issues with current trend for corporates to milk our hard-earned money. Purchasing is no longer owning. Products are designed with planned obsolence. Our works are on the cloud and being inputted into A.I. without our consent (or forced to consent). 

Several people have been targeted by Indonesian authorities for raising the flag from the popular Japanese anime to express discontent with the government. One minister said the act could be considered treason. The Indonesian government should stop repressing freedom of… pic.twitter.com/LMX9qB12Ws — Amnesty International (@amnesty) August 7, 2025 Indonesian are doing protest by waving the flag of Jolly Roger from One Piece anime . The movement was first started by Indonesian truckers who usually put Indonesian flag on their truck in August each year to celebrate Indonesian independence day. In the One Piece story, there are lots of pirates with their own beliefs. They may even have conflicting ideas. However, Indonesian people chose Straw Hat Jolly Roger, the protagonist's flag. The flag of carefree and freedom. The first instance truckers waving the Jolly Roger were because they had troubles waiting days to get into the ferry boat. They felt they have waited too long and the...

As someone working for bringing goodness in this corrupted world, this song MV is really so relatable. Especially when everyday is against the next generation and you want to make a difference. There is a probability for people to witchhunt you because you are trying to do something out of norm. People who you want to protect are actually people that can turn their back against you. Sad, how people can be blinded by provocation. The progress halted because they burn the bridges that they should have crossed. And they stay there, poor and miserable. What would you do? Be that agent of change, or just going with the flow? If you want to be spiritual, Jesus nailed to the cross because he wanted to be an agent of change. So, yeah, being a rebel against all odds is actually biblical.  If you want to say leftist, Jesus was the very definition of leftist. He was against the status quo. He introduced laws that were not in line with the power hierarchy. He democratized saving grace and cond...

IMHO, we are at the age where human existence in the virtual world is one of the consciousness. As Jean Baudrillard said, we are now at the age of Hyperreality. I believe vtuber is a part of consciousness of a human behind. Although at this stage, it is part of a role play, a kayfabe by someone. As mentioned by Zimbardo in Lucifer Effect, roleplaying when done repeatedly becomes part of that person. The roleplaying affects the real world. The persona played by the person behind becomes the part of the person itself. That's why the character becomes someone. There is an "id, ego, and superego" that becomes the character's engine. How can AI replace that engine? This part needs to be tackled by AI first. The AI needs to be able to "hallucinate", or generate random factoids, with a consistent manner. Being someone like that, it needs to be fed with the right input. Human beings the super group of sensors is constantly build its knowledge by the input from those...

If you asked me about A.I., I would say that the real problem is about making it ethical. We want a bias A.I., not the straight A.I.. I mean, if you see the data, you would have non-certain privileged skin tone people "problematic" based on the cases. In a scenario where A.I. the first filter, we will have them marginalized. However, we as human have a bias for working towards equality. We boost certain values to make the playing field more equal for all. Well, scientists, be it a STEM and social, it's our job together to shape the best algorithm for A.I. and build that Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) towards equality. A.I. should be a problem of culture as we have been integrating cyber reality into our society. Technology is no longer a problem of math and algorithm, it's also lives and consciousness for many people. As Baudrillard once said, we are now living in a Hyperreality. Let's build our hyperreality on equality.

  Imagine Dragons made many versions of their new song "Take Me to The Beach". They collab with other artists in different languages based on the collabing artist. The one that get off the ground is the collab with Ado . Some people said the collab probably because of Party Like a Rockstar Podcast showed Ado performance to Jim Runge. With the advent of vtubing industry, Japanese entertainment industry now on the projection of rising up again. Previously, their Copyright law and the CD/DVD/Blueray industry made them lazy. They rather stuck to their domestic market and never considered to cater to international market. That was when K-Pop took over the reign from the Japanese. Don't get me wrong. I like Japanese music. Most of us in the 90s were anime lover. Myself have a favorite anime, the original Macross. I love the show and their takes on war and culture. What an eye opening anime. Macross really shown a different side of imperialism. You don't conquer your enemie...

  God can makes miracle. Jesus can walk on water. He can turns water into wine. He can makes the limp walks.  To me, those are not miracles. Those are not of my world. Sorry, but can I relate if that's not something happening in my life? Don't worry, I'm a believer now. You are the convincing reason that makes me believe that God's exists. I have a shoulder to lean on and I believe this is a miracle. When the world caved in on me, you are the thing that God shown what's a save refuge is. When people have their interests. Mine also the same. As such, you are the prove that God's love is real. You stands with me. I can wage the wars on the world. I am taking arms for fighting the better future. My eyes have return their colors. I now believe there is tomorrow. Thank you.

  We found and we lost. We smile and cry, we laugh it all the way. Nobody knows how you meant to me and me to you. At least that was what I know.  Now you have gone. I wish I can do things that you asked me to. But, to whom should I prove? You are already gone, graduated from this life. And I am the lost one here weeping. No one understands, no one care.  I don't blame them, they have their own pain and lost. The pain and misery is not exclusively mine. Not even the new person tried to understand. They jealous the memory of you. They want to override it. They want me to empty the space and put them there instead of you.  I am not alone. All of them also have that space that is reserved for their lost one. But why they insists on others?  Why can't they forgive me for they also don't let their space vacant? Yes, we all have that space in that little heart of us where we can't remove. Yeah, that's why trauma don't go away easily.  Can we delete it? Yes. We ca...

 I know lots of people think of this music is about the struggle of moving on from a failed relationships. The lyrics talked about how one knows doesn't mean one moves. We love to fall on the same pit, like a moth to the fire, like a deer on the headlight, like a cow into the slaughter house.  We refuse to move even when we know we should. There are strings attached to us.  - The blood, sweat, and sacrifice to get there. A struggle when you try to win the war. How you have detach all other things just to make this relationship works. - Another people who potentially could get the most damages, e.g. the children if this is a toxic marriage. - The pride when the condition is what one defines oneself unconsciously. This is when you have put your whole life to hate one common enemy.  The last one probably best about how you hate someone so much and so long that you have already forget the original reason.  And I think this is the best reason for the song. Originally...

  Scotty Kilmer, a car mechanic YouTube persona, made a video about Toyota made a statement that they'd rather paying the carbon credit rather than creating EV. Scotty reasoned that the reason behind EV was because of these: The EV car is low on availability. Resalable is plummeting in US. People can't sell their car, or the car is way cheaper. The EV is expensive to fix, but the mechanics are less and less being paid. First of all, I want to call the problem with EV: our infrastructure is not ready for mass adoption. We need to have more sustainable electric plants. For my country, Indonesia, the electric plants are using coals which is not sustainable nor green. Source of EV Coal Power, Traffic, Waste Burning Create Toxic Smog in Jakarta (voanews.com) . As a person living in this city, I can attest to this. At the time, I always getting headache after coming from the office. The government blame the pollution to the ICE cars . But, hey, we have car-free days, but nothing happ...

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.   -- Proverbs 17:22, NIV My father's health is deteriorating after his 70th birthday. I think he's thinking of passing away. His thought is being influence by the Psalm 90:10, NIV: Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures;   yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,  for they quickly pass, and we fly away. This dark feeling of Psalmist seems thinking that a man life is only for 70 years or up to 80 years. So, a man more than 70 should be an empty shell. I think this is a  contradictory! God never said that. He only limits human to 100 years. Is there something wrong with this text? So, I tried to see what the essay said about this text. According to essay by Pinker, the passage might get mistranslated slightly. According to his analysis, it should be interpreted as such: The years in which we have strength are about seventy (or, when particularl...

This is because our brain selective memory. This drug created by our brain to remedy stress so that our emotion can handle the suffering. Life is suffering. Sometimes we think of why not God gives us iOS instead of E16 desktop . Too many choices with many consequences. We don't know how to run. Life is altering. My friend often said that people who stay at their job are often people who don't think themselves highly. They eat of what their boss spit on them. They don't innovate, just work to have money on the table. Making big decision is scary. That big jump takes a lot of faith. It is intangible. But... Who knows about your company tomorrow? Who knows the fuel and the economy tomorrow? Yes...

It has been two years I work from home. In that time, 90+% of my time was spent on homes. Yes, I'm one of the scared ones. I was once a sceptic. However, many of my close relatives died. I then reassessed my beliefs about Covid-19. I was scared because the number of my close relatives made me think that our genes were on the vulnerable side against covid-19. However, many people survived from the virus.  There were reasons why they survived.  The original variants was weak. Only after the Delta, the virus became deadlier. Some people had the best fit. At the time they were contracted, their body could handle the infection. They were lucky. Some people that lost their jobs tried to deny the virus.  Some crazy zealots tried to persuade their people by watering down the covid-19. They enforced the belief that God was more powerful than covid-19.  Hah! Did they not think that God was letting the virus out? Did they think God not powerful enough to close the floodgate? I ...

  Richard M. Stallman (RMS), the man behind GNU project and Free Software is making a comeback as a board of director of Free Software Foundation (FSF) . He was forced to resigned two years ago because of his underage sex remarks . As a result of that, many people express their disagreement with an open letter. One thing that I found amusing is the Board of Directors of Open Source Initiative (OSI) made an open statement to reject Stallman.  Whew, the world surely has changed! There is a reason why Stallman created the term Free Software and make it a separated term from Open Source. When Eric Raymond founded OSI, he wants to make companies joined the Open Source. They also looked for more relaxed software license that could incorporated an open source library into their own proprietary software. That's why, OSI embraced BSD, MIT and Apache clauses as a part of open source. However, free software have one mission, to promote four freedoms: User should have the right to have so...

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) asked the public criticism for his rules. President Jokowi Challenges The Public To Actively Convey Criticism (voi.id)   This, to some of Indonesian called as lip service.  Why? Because we have Electronic Information and Transactions law (or, UU ITE) that can have loose interpretation, like a rubber. So many people falling victim for this law. Second, there is a group of Cyber squad enrolled by who knows who that actively defending Jokowi administration policy. They would bully critics that have arguments on the other side. We have a term for these squads: Buzzer RP or BuzzerRp. According to  The Global Disinformation Order2019 Global Inventory of OrganisedSocial Media Manipulation research by Oxford University, buzzers already a common thing used by governments around the world. So, yeah, I think it is normal for Indonesian government to use it also. My resentment for BuzzerRp is that how they were used incorrectly during the early days of...

This is a picture of Cikampek highway on Tuesday. The picture taken from elevated road that leads to Kalimalang road. The part flooded with water is entry point to enter the highway. It usually never flood. This year, however, we have several flood incidents. Which is weird! We usually have 5 years cycle of great flood. Once every 5 years there would be a big flood. What makes this year special is we got great flood more than once. Usually, we got a big flood once and that's it. Now, however, every heavy rain guarantee flood will happen. The biggest hit were on Bekasi, Jakarta's neighbor. My friend got his car flooded up to the roof. His neighbors also got the same. They were unprepared.  Their area never have flood before. It seems something change. There were constructions everywhere. This makes some water flows stopped. The epic thing is there are cases of elite housing made their neighbors getting flooded. It seems the developer didn't build the necessar...

This site is not dead yet. But, I'm more hesitant to talk and publish the entries. Indonesia is more sensitive than before. I see sometimes gives "you-know-who" info that obfuscated to the public. I don't want to start a polemic. Jokowi was elected as a president without any back up from any senior parties. He is like a startup company disrupting status quo. This also comes with a price, he have a weak leg in Indonesian politics. Sadly, because of that, he comes to the Generals. Thus, you see names of former-military heads on his cabinets. More over, his former-military ministries had red mark some Human Right issues list. Hmm... may be. I'll just write spiritual messages? Lol.

A man in 16th March 2019 came to a Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand (NZ). He shot randomly and killed 49 people and injured many. And the story goes on. You can read the news. But, what I've observed is this: many of my Moslem friends called this an equality. While they are complimenting the NZ PM and her actions, they are also lamenting that the shooting was called "shooting", not "terrorism" immediately by many Western outlet. It was different when a Moslem done the deed. Fortunately, after the NZ PM called this a terrorism, many began using "Terrorism" in their news. I think this point a little bit fair. Perhaps, the Media waiting for the NZ government to verify what type of things happen. A right wing politician in Australia was also blaming the Moslem immigration over this accident. He raised a boy to be a hero to many because of it. The boy poked an egg to his head . With this, the boy statement is clear that people, even the Caucasian ...

I love customising my phone. The first thing I'd do after buy a new one is to unlock the phone. Then, I'd install any of AOSP/LineageOS (Android free version) on it. I don't like the original software. They full of bloatware that bogging the phone. Besides, the modding community could also provide some interesting features that would eventually becomes a norm. The first benefit I would have from the custom ROM is actually longer battery life. I usually couldn't survive a day with original. But, with custom ROM I could even get a day and more. BTW, I just downgraded my ROM from Android Pie (9.0) to Android Nougat (7.1.2). Why? Because it seems Google abandoned the MirrorLink ® . I think with the  ® on it, I can understand why Google decided to ditch it and go with Chromecast solution. Nougat is the last that have MirrorLink ® ability. This is sucks because most of modern cars and TVs have MirrorLink ® on them. So, Android phone with newer version of Android  woul...
