Red pill blue pill 

The red pill and blue pill is a meme representing a choice between taking either a "red pill" that reveals an unpleasant truth, or taking a "blue pill" to remain in blissful ignorance. The terms are directly derived from a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix. Red pill referring to being woken up and knowing not everything that you were told by social media, the news in the world is all true. You are not in slaved by the world. Blue pill referring to that you listen to everything that you hear on the news, in the paper, and by social media and selling all those around you An essay written by Russell Blackford discusses the red and blue pills, questioning whether if a person were...

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO EARTH IF HUMANS DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO EARTH IF HUMANS DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?

One day I woke up and I sluggishly opened the window and i surprisingly saw at the outside of our house there were throngs of people walking everywhere that caused jammed and narrow way then few minutes ago when suddenly something comes up in my mind that, what would happen to earth if all people suddenly disappeared? Can you imagine what would happen to all creatures and structures were built here? How natures and animals live without human? And how our earth would work without controlled of human? 7.6 billion of people were currently living here on earth and these are things would happen if all of us here suddenly disappeared tomorrow. 1.

Global warming / climate change 

If politicians aren’t going to do anything about global warming and climate change, then we need to start making actions in order to slow down the process of global warming happening. I get it, adults now won’t probably be alive by the time the earth’s average temperature increases by 3-4 degrees Celsius. But if you have kids, you are just making it harder for them to live, making your children’s lives way shorter than it should actually be! Look, we only have approximately around 21 year until the average temperature increases by 2 degrees and 2 degrees is a big number! 1/3 of the human populating could get swiped out!  Please help us slow down the process of global warming...

Today's Mainstream Media are Choosing Sides

It’s 12 in the afternoon, downtown South Jakarta, in a mall’s food court filled with people and I’m waiting for a friend. While I was waiting, I was reading a book called “Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki” written by a Japanese author, Haruki Murakami. Just bought it recently at a bookstore nearby, and I’m already diving deep into the story! “Aww, poor Tsukuru!” I said, finding out what had happened that made him colorless.

As I wait for my friend to come, I sat down on a chair, with my eyes pondering around the court. One by one...

Are you a Tourist or Traveler? 

Are you a Tourist or Traveler? 

Some of you might have known the differences between tourist and traveler. Tourist tend to go with travel agent, fixed itinerary, having nice transportation, go to famous places or we call it 'touristic place', hunting for souvenirs, barely interact with local, stays only for couple days, join on group with tour guide, etc. While travelers have flexible itinerary based on their own research, seeking for hidden places, eager to interact with the locals, experiencing new culture, stay longer planning to see as much as they could in the country they visited, often go with low budget, cheapest accomodations, in my opinion.  I am a traveler type of person, i love to get lost...
