Repost utk anak2 muda yg tanya apa maksud saya dgn "wisdom without fear". Intinya: menyuarakan kebenaran lebih nikmat dari mengejar kekuasaan. You should try it too. Boleh disebar.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

leave it to indonesians to witness a railroad accident with a 100% women casualty and come to the conclusion that the problem is the fact that women has to work and not the fact that the government has failed to provide adequate public transport and an even spread of jobs

Wacana penutupan program studi yang dianggap tidak relevan dengan industri ini memunculkan pertanyaan dan kekhawatiran.

Ada kebijakan yang tampak efisien dalam jangka pendek, tapi bila tidak hati-hati, justru membelokkan arah perjalanan bangsa dalam jangka panjang. Sambil menunggu informasi lengkapnya, izinkan berbagi tentang paradigma ilmu murni dan ilmu terapan ini.

Ilmu murni kerap dipandang jauh dari praktik. Seolah berdiri di menara gading, tidak menyentuh denyut kebutuhan industri. Padahal, di sanalah akar dari hampir seluruh inovasi yang kita gunakan hari ini berasal. Rumus-rumus yang tampak abstrak, teori-teori yang dulu dianggap “tidak berguna”, justru melahirkan teknologi yang kini kita anggap keniscayaan.

Kita menikmati internet, kecerdasan buatan, hingga kemajuan di bidang kesehatan, tapi tak selalu ingat bahwa fondasinya dibangun oleh para ilmuwan yang bekerja tanpa kepastian aplikasi. Mereka meneliti bukan berbasis permintaan pasar, tetapi karena keingintahuan memahami bagaimana dunia bekerja.

Kita perlu ingat bahwa relevansi tidak selalu bisa diukur dalam horizon waktu yang pendek. Apa yang hari ini tampak tidak terkait industri, bisa jadi esok hari menjadi tulang punggungnya.

Negara yang hanya menyiapkan tenaga siap pakai, tanpa melahirkan pemikir-pemikir dasar, berisiko terjebak sebagai pengguna belaka. Kita menjadi pasar, bukan pencipta. Kita mengimpor solusi, alih-alih menghasilkan jawaban dari dalam negeri dan membaginya kepada dunia.

Lebih jauh lagi, kebijakan publik yang kuat juga lahir dari pemahaman dasar yang kokoh. Mulai dari ilmu epidemiologi (berbasis matematika dan biologi dasar) yang berjasa besar saat pandemi, lalu ilmu lingkungan (ekologi dan geofisika) dalam menghadapi bencana perubahan iklim, hingga ekonomi teoretis dalam merancang kebijakan fiskal. Semua itu berakar pada ilmu-ilmu yang sering dianggap “tidak praktis”.

Menutup atau melemahkan ilmu murni berarti mengurangi kemampuan kita untuk memahami dunia secara mendalam. Tanpa pemahaman itu, keputusan kita mudah terjebak jadi dangkal.

Tentu, keterhubungan dengan industri itu penting. Bila suka apel bukan berarti benci jeruk. ;)

Perguruan tinggi jelas tidak boleh terlepas dari kebutuhan zaman. Namun, menjawab tantangan itu tidak harus dengan menutup ilmu murni. Yang diperlukan adalah menjembatani, bukan menggantikan. Menguatkan ekosistem, bukan menyederhanakan secara berlebihan.

Pada akhirnya, pendidikan tinggi bukanlah soal mencetak pekerja bagi industri, tetapi tentang menyiapkan masa depan dan membangun peradaban bangsa.

Masa depan itu tidak pernah dibangun hanya dari apa yang terlihat berguna hari ini, pun membangun peradaban tak boleh direduksi jadi sekadar membangun industri.

Maka, barangkali yang perlu kita jaga adalah keseimbangan. Antara yang langsung terpakai dan yang menjadi fondasi. Antara keterampilan dan pemikiran. Antara kebutuhan hari ini dan visi hari esok.

Dengan menjaga keseimbangan itulah, kita dapat berdiri tegak sebagai bangsa yang tak hanya mengikuti kemajuan dunia, tetapi juga menciptakannya.

Trump's comment about Rob Reiner today really underscores that he's a narcissist. Someone this narcissistic can't fight for you; if you believe otherwise, you're a mark. You are just a pawn in his need for aggrandizement.

Ten years after he descended on his golden escalator, he hasn't brought manufacturing back. In fact, manufacturing jobs contracted this year. His biggest accomplishment this term — the Big Beautiful Bill — was just more tax cuts for the rich and slashing government spending for the working class. His political appointments have thus far been nothing more than concessions to wealthy donors who supported his campaign. Many of these people are building the AGI robots that will replace you in ten years.

If you dare to question him, he'll toss you aside like Marjorie Taylor Greene, no matter how much you stood by him in the past. He cares about nothing but himself. The most you'll get is a wildly racist remark on Truth Social, which makes you feel like he's fighting for you, but you are, again, meaningless to him. He feels nothing and believes in nothing except his own aggrandizement. His Saddam Hussein ballroom means more to him than policies that are supposed to help you.

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, and should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics.

Ending Genocide, Enforcing Justice

The world cannot continue to pretend that reasonable solutions will be possible so long as Israel remains under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime. His government has overseen a genocidal campaign that has crossed the threshold of humanity’s most serious crime. Until accountability is enforced and the present path is altered, the prospect of genuine peace will remain obstructed.

At this moment, the most urgent priority is not abstract negotiations, but the immediate cessation of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the lifting of the inhumane blockade that strangles its people. The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has already determined that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. There is no moral or legal basis to soften this language. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against PM Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The international community must recognize that words of condemnation alone are no longer sufficient. Justice must follow!

The logical next step is to ensure that these crimes are prosecuted before an international tribunal. Anything less would be an abdication of the duty to uphold international law and human dignity. Some nations in the West have begun to recognize the State of Palestine, an overdue act that tragically required the enormity of genocide to compel action. But this must not be the endpoint. The next decisive move is to secure Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations, affirming the rights of its people in the family of nations.

Only after halting the genocide, securing justice for the victims, and ensuring Palestine’s rightful place in the international order, can we begin to speak of a sensible, durable solution for all. Until then, the credibility of the international system itself hangs in the balance. For it is not only Gaza that is under siege, but also the very principles of justice and humanity on which our common future depends.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I express my profound closeness to the Palestinian people in Gaza, who continue to live in fear and to survive in unacceptable conditions, forced once again from their own lands. Before Almighty God, who commanded “Thou shalt not kill,” and throughout human history, every person always has an inviolable dignity, to be respected and upheld. I renew my appeal for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a negotiated diplomatic solution, in full respect of international humanitarian law. I invite everyone to join my heartfelt prayer that a dawn of peace and justice may soon arise.
