WOULD QUESTIONING: “IS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST” FITTED STILL?


Lately, I’ve been watched an interesting view on tv program. Shows the most conflictual, rough-taught, hypocrisy scene but fun still. The kind of Reality show, like non-talented game show isolates 18 people in a house without any communication device for 100 days. What they have to do is just stay, and become the last to survive so they can win a million rupiahs resident. The 18 finalist comes from different background, but one thing they all had in common was ambition. I’m not saying it’s bad. In fact it does make things better to watch.

Every week there will be one participant extradited, Decide by the boss and/or the key master. Both privileges of boss and key master given to the top 3 Rank decided by sms pool. They had to win the game to become boss or key master. What’s the good? Well if you one of them you’ll be save until the next week. Boss’s privilege is that he/she can save one of the three bottom candidates. And key master’s job is send one of the rest back home. The decision of boss and key master was very subjective, based on like or dislike and their own perception of threat potential (that’s the interesting part).

In order to survive they had to play strategy in there. From coalition, provoking, deceiving, dividing, everything it takes. They play character, all is shockingly creates dynamics in that house. But the character of arrogant always dominates, proved by 2 straight week become a boss, and 3 times key master. I’m talking about one of the arrogant candidates which over glorifying his ability to win every single game, and believe in his own determination and power to conquer all the challenge. He claims himself as the puppet master, controlled all the candidates and creates conflict in the house. When he wasn’t the boss, he always criticized the work performance of other and compares with his (which he claimed as flawless). That’s what the strategy about, to intimidate your rivals. The point is show your rival is bad even worst, than you appear as the best one.

Bottom line is, this tv shows recall me on the quotes of survival of the fittest. What the mean of this quote that I used to understand simply, be the strongest then you’ll survive. Excellent description law of jungle, perfect picture of uncivilized reality played by self-claims civilized creature. Yes, my tentative contextual comprehension upon the concept of survival of the fittest was: Eat or be eaten. I realized that it is also approved traditionally by majority. Just ask every one what they know about it, then they’ll describe how natural law reveal its secrets, about life chain, food pyramid, how the strong one will be on top of the pyramid, weak one dead first and become the lunch.

Now, the TV program show me more than what it comes at the surface, its not only about the strongest, because I found another paradox. I can’t figure how the weakest candidates, who always be in the bottom three every week still survive until now. He has no potential, no special thing to be proud of. He’s not the strongest, or the smartest. Always in the lowest position, but also escape from extradition. Even though he is lucky enough to be saved few time, My rational sense refused to believe in luck as much in that portion. Finally i came up with other alternative answer: he can fit in…! That’s what it is. He can adjust, adapt. And fit in where ever. And to be fit doesn’t necessary need the strength.
So about the question is it fitted still? Well literally it is, textually, if we put the comprehension back on its literal mean. “fit” …

THW CONDEMN AUTHORITARIAN MENTOR


This semester, I work on my thesis about the economy reform affect the democratization in Vietnam. By chance, I got this mentor. He’s basically cool with any adjustment, open with my idea, Great sparring partner, very helpful. But recently he’s being difficult, as result my work end up in postponed. watta pain in the butt.
Now, here I am try to spend my quality spare time by doing something useful. Do another research sounds blast. So I decided to explain the phenomenon of unbelievable behavior which you can only found in Vietnam Communist Party pre doi-moi and China government, (magically I found it now in my case). I will use micro approach to examine behavior of the individual (named authority) and how the decision reflected by his behavior affect the system (internationally approved: AUTHORITARIAN sob).
The introduction or chapter one will be:

a.background
Assume we faced the classic problem of dictatorship, packed in this several phrase: “no room for compromise”. “Do as what I said”, “take it or leave it”, or sarcastic quote: “I didn’t know that I have to adjust with your schedule (lit: it’s up to me!!)”, or this quote according to my friend’s horrible tragedy “I know you don’t like me, but what can you do, I am the only master in this subject (end with evil grin)”. This phrase or quotes from these unbelievable people caused by (assume) post traumatic disorder.

b.research question
1.What did I do?
2.How come??
3.What the fuck is wrong with you?? (pardon my French)


c.Research method
I’d love to use explanatory, mingle with unbelievable person who has unbelievable rapid mood of change per second plus sensitive floating rate. Which I cluster them as rollercoaster people with the fact after you round in one full circle, you will throw up. I also use behavioral approach in individual level of analysis to explain it, with indicator of idiosyncratic, history of personal track, medical record, possibility of psychological disorder, sexual preference cross examination, genetic transmits disability (What am I talking about??). etc. I will use a comparative model to see behavior of this individual with states behavior (China) or in simple model I will explain how the individual arrogance, will be so badly affected to the social system, Compare with China’s attitude and how it affected international and my system as well (I think I got a hole in my head)

d.Hypothesis
Rapid mood of change based on hormonal sensitivity and dementedly arrogance like a bull in china shop ensued fatal in personal, social, and academic relation.

e.theory and concept
I interested with Johny Cash theory, “its better be loved than be feared” although it’s totally backlash with Folsom Prisons philosophy, “its better be feared than be bitched around”. I personally agree in first one, I mean, who knows tomorrow never come? Isn’t it great when the last minute of your live you know that people love you? (I heard funeral back sound). If you argue back, what if it still comes? Hack, It still great!!! You can’t deny how happy Nelson Mandela is, even he’s lock somewhere in Robben island, you can still see his happy face behind bars. That’s because he know that people love him. So arrogance is work outside Folsom prison, mate.
I also inspired by professor A Winehouse and Dr. K. Perry’s thought which considered as a break trough, the most visional intellectual invention in psychology studies and social science development. Winehouse brightly see the individual who appear as arrogant basically projecting his anger out in order to release the inner pain caused by misfortune event, root in his subconscious and accumulated as trauma. This individual, according to Winehouse need a serious care or rehabilitation, because there is a potential harm to other people. For instant, this people might perform further action of thesis postpone, (it’s a serious problem, don’t underestimate it). While Winehouse did a great job in psycho studies, a socialist (I mean social expert) Dr. K Perry see the phenomenon of society in urban era, which most of people, (differenced by gender) shows that -focus object on male gender- tend to be more arrogant when they are interact with their opposite kind. The arrogance they show mere as a disguise of clueless thought. Sometimes they show the arrogance to cover their rational disability to say what they want. That describe the example of how individual act sometimes hot sometimes cold, in out, one second up, another second down.

In this part I’m very please to let you conclude anything you like..

TH DOESN’T BELIEVE IN MARRIAGE.

Basically I would not debate this motion, it broke my own rule, but so be it. What I want to do is amused my self with a “kind of something” of this bright young lady, Mia. She named this special “kind of something”:

July 25th 2010- I Died Once Again

Prolog: why “baby te qiero, te qiero mucho” is not enough?? He left me because I don’t believe in his way to legally, formally, traditionally, mass publicize this love.

He’s married today,,, And I wont come,

It just sad
It’s like you had to witness the most fatal decision ever made by human being. I’d rather attend the funeral or witness some other horrible thing like mass murder execution in electric chair, or better filming the actual Jews execution in gas chamber back in 1930’s (I wish), or saw commodes ate a deer, or Daniel pearl beheaded, or other humanity tragedy in Somalia, Rwanda, Bosnia, I will take it with all pleasure rather had to see the marriage ceremonial. Especially the one who took the god damn oath (pardon my French) is him.

It’s just killing
To see someone I love (I really do) say that Satan forsake word: “I do”
It’s a total betrayed, if I had to see it happen and the only thing I do is stoned or worse in a weep tears without a power to stop it. What I mean with betrayed here is, you know that what he’s up to is a bad mistake; he’s unconscious even though all people say he is conscious but too stupid to made that decision, and you can not stop him (without drama of course), and you know that it’s illegal, to bang his head on the wall, just to ring the bell, wake him up; tried to make him “no, this is a mistake” then called that shit off, but you didn’t do it. So it counts you the same sin when you were there and let that happened.

What is so wrong with marriage anyway? Well that as wrong as murder, you know kill others or your self in purpose condemned by god right?? That what exactly marriage is. You gave up self freedom, the core essence of your existence that shall not taken by anyone even god in atheist perspective. When you do that you’re actually selling your soul in the lowest price for evil, you commit to be a right-less creature (that against the law of nature), tied your self with the most impossible thing in the world that called live time commitment only with one person. Impossible because you can never guarantee that you’ll love her in good or bad, rich or poor, till death take you apart. Believe me (or them-divorced one) you just can’t.

The old hypocrite’s quotes: “marriage is a wonderful institution”. Right…! Pretend that I buy that shit; marriage is a wonderful, great institution. But who wants to live in an institution anyway?

THBT YOU BETTER NOT TO TELL THEM


Its weird how you go from stranger to be friend, to be more than friend, to being practically strangers again and it happens so fast.

Yea, you know I’m being melodramatic rite now, for the first time in my life I regret my miscalculated decision, I’m not regret the decision, but the miscalculated part.
Why I put this in here? Supposedly this page only to laugh at debaters stupidity,, but guess what?? This is also one of the stupidities of a debater. Let me tell you what it is precisely

Tell the other debater the magical word that will change the world: “I like you”

Yes ma’am, sir..
I should warn you about this; most important I should warn my self about this earlier…
Recently, I got crushed on my team mate; he’s not in our list actually. Bottom line is after 2 months (more-less) observation, I was positively confidently assume that this is it, I like him, and plan to tell him right away. I know I mite come of as a negative with this decision, but don’t get me wrong, the plan is already pass the long procedure of self debate, I’ve calculated the costs and benefit, counted on the possibilities, forecast the astrological match, consult with tarot experts, and finally decide to take the action with basic consideration: o.. what the hack? What worse than death?... but as you know, I’m not really good at math, miscalculation on the possibility that I still goin to meet him again is definitely become a disaster.

Straight shoot my man,, I tell him on one sunny Tuesday, I don’t really know, but I think it went well, I never expected any further action like hook up or proceed it somewhere, I wasn’t sure about boy friend- girl friend thing, which is quite normal in Indonesian date culture (well, after the confession it should be yes/no, “jadian” or awkward). What I want that time was he knew that I like him. That’s it.

But apparently it’s not that simple; I was shocked, and surprise how it affects me. A lot. I realize that it’s not only that, just not enough. I want him to know I like him (well at first) but then after I want him likes me back, and I’m fully satisfied. (still not expecting any BF-GF thing).

And here’s the best scene ladies and gents, the answer
Begin with positive responds (gesture, and expression) smile and said “really??? Seriously??? Since when???” (I heard the triumph), continued with the line: “I feel very flatter, thank you, Mia. But…” (then I heard sound of the 7th trumpet) he continued with the sentence that hit me right on my face and force me to get up and feel the punch on my nose again and makes me wish I was death (nah… that’s too much) by saying: “… I am with this girl now, and I want to focus on her,,, I’m not the guy who easily jump from one to another, so…” (sort of what he said as far as I can remember or imagine, because not sure I was conscious enough).

Yes sir, ma’am I was rejected (kinda)

Now what’s the moral in it?
1st lessons : make sure how bad you like this guy,
2nd lessons : make sure that he’s not a debater nor your team mate (believe me ladies, its unbelievably hard)
3rd lessons : count on the possibility of the chance that you’ll mite meet again or work in the same project or play in the next competition. Make sure you do the math, count it twice, thrice, verify it, sorter it, think again, and cancel it… (Before you humiliate yourself)
4th lessons : if you can’t help your self, please,, I mean pleeeeeeaaaaassss,,,, think about that again.
5th lessons : if you believe you must tell him otherwise you’ll choke till death, well… you better find the perfect timing,

THESE ARGUMENTS MADE ME LAUGH TO TEARS..

These arguments made me laugh to tears

Maam, sir,,

Despites from the consideration that these speakers have innumerous guts, big balls so called (yet brain), this is deserve to be laugh,,, cos it’s funny as hell


THW ban 2012

  • Opposition 1st: we can’t do this because it will kill the creativity, the directors costs loads of money, he’ll be broke, worse will disrupt the flow of national economic balance. (la la la)

  • Proposition 2nd: why we should care to the director, he’s not our friend, nor family… he’s not even Indonesian



THBT mom is my hero (disclaimer: it’s not my motion… not in million years)

  • Proposition: mother is great, she gave us birth, life, guide us to the virtue, protect us from any harm, no matter what we’ve done she still loves us anyway, batman couldn’t loved us more than that

  • Opposition: no,, no,, GOD is the real hero!



THBT 30 percents tax for celebrity is not excessive (proposition define celebrity=artist)

  • Opposition: since there is no clarity upon celebrity definition we would like to put it in the right way. Celebrity is different with artist. Artist seems to have positive value judgments because of their work. they making art, contribute to culture. While celebrity only making sensation, rumors, and so on and so forth.

  • Proposition: if that is the definition, then everyone has a potential to be a celebrity. It’s only the matter of exposure. Fisherman can be a celebrity when he catches a big fish, got capture by local media, and there he is “a fisherman celebrity…”

THW REQUIRE WHITE SUITS FOR INDONESIA’S POLITICIANS


There is a solid image in every single perspective of human mind about meaning of color. Its common sense, when we talking about white it’s definitely representing a good thing in life. Agreed not only by “good nature” people as known as moderate normal people, but other side of thought, we could named them realist, Hobbesian, or perhaps other sadistic masochist leftist (I don’t meant any harm) who believe that world is anarchy also agree in this part.

Nature of white is not only symbolized the color of purity, peace, angel thing, light of heaven and so on and so forth, it’s also could be the symbol of top 1st class criminals (white collar) which simply agreed as “good people” by masochist community (again, because world is anarchy, you gotta be anarchy to survive, so anarchist include in the jail is good people). Predictable question such as: why white? Well because it’s universally acceptable, plus we don’t want to insult the conservative and bring other debate with homosexual if we put “pink” in this conversation. White is neutral in gender issue, that’s why.

The reason behind this idea to bring white outfit on this debate is because we as proposition think it’s a good way to strengthen the identity of Indonesia’s politician. We can’t underestimate the power of outfit, because old classic rotten people said: “you are what you wear” is so right. When you wear something clean, majority says you are a nice clean freak. They won’t check your room to clarify that. The same first impression when you wear white outfit especially when you come up with white suit, people will see you as Morgan Freeman in Bruce almighty. They think you are some kind of angel or saint (more-less). It’s all about how you can branding your image as good person by what you wear.

We think image relates to identity, and it’s important for any public figure to emphasizing this identity so public will have a hint to know what kind of figure they are. If people know about this figure, it will be easy to approach, the messages that the politician brought will be easy to inform, further if public is easy to approach and informed, then it will be a lot easier to provoke. That’s what all matter to politician, no? Public provoke (to get vote).

It’s also urgent to implement in Indonesia. We see that most of society paradigm already constructed by the idea that politics is a Satan strategy to invade poor human kind with injustice power, dirty business, corrupt and so… what we want to do is clarify this fatal error. We want to show the society even though the politicians are bad, greedy, dirty, hairless corruptors, they are not evil. They are just a slave (of evil). We want to restore the good side of Indonesia’s politicians, so public can trust them, see them with a little integrity, and in the end public can buy politicians word, and vote for them so god can save democracy.

The point is when politicians wear white not only show that they have pure intention to save this nation, somehow it will show that they are also feel sympathetic on Indonesia’s condition. They care that Indonesia is dying; the proper analogy to describe this is like, when you go to graveyard feel so morose even sad when you see death corps, wearing yellow will definitely not match, right? That’s why you need something to represent it. Black is so not Indonesian. That’s why white is necessary required in this case.

WOULD TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TOWARD IMPERSONATION OF MICHAEL JACKSON IN PUBLIC PLACES


WOULD TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TOWARD IMPERSONATION OF MICHAEL JACKS

We believe that MJ’s impersonates is outrageous, and can’t be tolerate any longer. What they did is simply indignity of king’s great masterpiece. They imitate moonwalker and make it like some kind of joke. It’s just not good!

Why MJ? Because Elvis Presley impersonators is so outdated and already have its own public judgment as moronic action, but not yet in MJ’s case

MJ’s creation should be protected as national heritage by US government (so does Stevie Wonder and Dave Barry) to avoid any misbehave which directly impact to quality reduction. We would start it with a new law proposal to make this impersonator as criminal, with national heritage annihilation charge and put them straight to jail

We don’t want to put human right as the main core argument of opposition in the corner. We still can fairly protect rights here. If they found guilty impersonate MJ but didn’t cause any tangible effect toward reduction of product’s quality, or proved been forced by other people to do so (perhaps lost the bet), then we give them chance to have amnesty or clemency by Prince, MJ son. Why Prince not Parish? Because Prince is the first child and the most important he is a son. According to Moslem Shareea law, son gets ½ of total inheritance, so he has that privilege (we still couldn’t believe they buried MJ not in Islam way, that’s cruel!). Plus we don’t want to add extra hour for Obama (he’s still busy dealing with Guantanamo detainee transfer).

If they argue that: “it’s a freedom of individual expression even if they impersonate other people” then this is what we’ll say: go find a room to express that ambition or better find a job! It’s already ban in public places because we identify it causing tangible harm as quality reduction, and we can’t allow you to have your freedom above the destruction of others rights. That’s a massive violation.

Beside, this will also impact to other things, such as changing paradigm of society and disrupt the good memories about MJ, he’s good creation will slowly disappear because of the quality reduction impact, and the only thing remain in society’s mind is his scandal like pedophile accusation, or other issues such as lack of confidence as reason why he did plastic surgery, (until he got that pale face) and assumption all of it caused by childhood trauma. This is what we afraid the most and we would like to prevent, by take a serious action to criminalize the impersonator of MJ
