Nemu dua buku ini di rak. Kita rindu pada perselisihan intelektual yang bermutu seperti ini. Romo Magnis menulis buku ini tahun 1999, persis setelah jendela reformasi terbuka. 5 tahun kemudian, Ken Budha menulis kritik dan tanggapan terhadap Romo Magnis.

Kant (1784): Enlightenment is when you stop letting others think for you. You should make use of your own understanding!
Human beings (2026): Grok, is this true?
I always knew academic philosophers were talking about all kinds of bullshit, but I had no idea how upfront they were about it. They're not even trying to hide it at this point!
