Wild, Reckless Youth



If you are breathing fine, then you are the lucky ones coz most of us are breathing through corrupted lungs
If you are still bleeding then you are the lucky ones, coz most of us are feeling dead
O Lord how I wish that;
I am the wild youth,
O Lord how I wish that;
I am the excited who is eager to rip apart,
O Lord how I wish that;
I am the thrilled who are willing to set free
O Lord how I wish that;
I am the bird, who is ready to fly ahead,
Ahead above,
Above and beyond.
Yet I am not that;
Reckless to chase the impossible,
Yet I am not that;
Wild to chase the vision of my unsolved future.
Yet I am not that;
Lucky to be the lucky ones;
Who are in love and
not bitter over someone.

A Marxist Analysis : Bitcoin as Capitalism’s Latest Fetish of Commodity

Image
Reading into the latest news, almost every financial or economic column I have come across is talking about Bitcoin. Its craze has even spread among my peers who are currently installing their own Bitcoin apps (i.e from Bitcoin.co.id and others) to partake in their own trading, hoping to somehow double their pocket money. Rather than simply talking about Bitcoin as another means of investment and speculation to further accumulate our wealth, in this essay, I’d like to contribute to the discussion by analyzing how does Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism could actually apply in the emergence and also rise of Bitcoin as a form of cryptocurrency. What exactly is this latest technological invention that some economist claim would transform current financial and economic system that we know today?             Firstly, we need to clear up some ontological confusion on what cryptocurrency and bitcoin are. Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency [1] that acts as a digital asset

Perempuan dan Dialog Antar-Agama: Pengalaman Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB)

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Artikel Jurnal Judul :            The Role of Women in Interreligious Dialogue in Indonesia: A Study on the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) Pen ulis :           Wiwin S. A. Rohmawati         Jurnal:             The Muslim World, 2020 (Vol. 110 Issue 4) Tebal:               16 halaman   Perempuan seringkali tidak mendapat ruang dalam dialog antar-agama. Sekalipun ada, peran perempuan kerap terbatas pada hal-hal yang kurang substantif dan kurang berpengaruh di ranah pembuatan keputusan. Hal ini menyebabkan forum dialog tidak representatif bagi aspirasi dan peran perempuan. Forum dialog maupun upaya binadamai lainnya yang tidak melibatkan   perempuan akhirnya menjadi tidak efektif dalam menciptakan kerukunan di masyarakat. Tokoh agama, pemimpin politik, diplomat, mediator dan peran lainnya dalam upaya binadamai masih banyak didominasi peran dan perspektif laki-laki. Hal ini juga dipengaruhi oleh kedudukan dan privilese laki-laki dal

Meneguhkan Lagi Peran Akal, Kebebasan dan Toleransi: Memperimbangkan Tawaran Mustafa Akyol

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Buku Judul :           Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance Pen ulis:      Mustafa Akyol             Penerbit:      ST. Martin's Essentials, 2021 Tebal:           v + 298 halaman   Dalam buku ini, Akyol mengulas bagaimana perkembangan sejarah pemikiran Islam berpengaruh pada kemajuan dan kemunduran peradaban Islam. Akyol menjelaskan bahwa sejarah awal islam ditandai oleh kontestasi di antara dua aliran etika yang disebutnya “teori perintah ilahi” dan “teori objektivisme etis”. Aliran etika yang pertama berkembang terutama dalam bentuk Aliran Asy’ariyah, satu aliran teologi Sunni yang menekankan kewenangan mutlak kitab suci dan ulama (sarjana agama). Akyol mengulas bagaimana aliran Asy’ariyah tumbuh menjadi aliran teologi yang dominan dalam sebagian besar sejarah Islam bukan karena kekuatan argumentasinya, tetapi karena dukungan para pemimpin otoritarian kepadanya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kesamaan kepe
