Fentanyl Crisis.

Fentanyl is one of the drugs known to relieve aches and pains, and it can be addictive. At the same dose, fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. That's why fentanyl is more dangerous than other opioid drugs.

Lately, the the American public has been shocked again by the fentanyl crisis. Over 100,000 people died from drug overdoses between August 2021 and August 2022. This fact makes me sad. At first, I thought this was an American domestic problem. Just like how the American government deals with cases of mass shootings due to the possession of firearms. Just like drug addiction cases that occur in any country in the world. Who do you accuse if your child is addicted to drugs while your neighbor's child is fine?

What caught my attention is that this case is turning towards the desire for sanctions and political fervor. This is exacerbated by hyperbolic sentences from the biased media. US Senator Chuck Schumer wants to push for legislation that would sanction China for its alleged role in producing fentanyl. He blamed China for the overdose deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. Why is the focus of accusations only on China when fentanyl smuggling also comes from Mexico, India, or maybe other sources?

Washington accuses China of being the cause of this crisis. Beijing accuses Washington of using the fentanyl crisis as a pretext to impose sanctions on China. It seems that the mutual accusations between Washington and Beijing have spilled over into the absurd.

  1. This remind me of the opium war history, which caused Hong Kong being leased to England for 100 years.

    1. It's their domestic problem. What makes it interesting is the tendency to blame others.

    1. Ada juga, tapi resmi dari industri farmasi dan harus resep dokter. Tidak seperti di Amerika yang sumbernya dari organisasi kriminal kartel narkoba.

      Mengenai pertarungan dua negara besar? Hmm... saya pikir itu masalah kriminal yang dibalut semangat sinofobia oleh para elit Amerika.

    1. Menurut saya, ada 3 faktor utama untuk menjadi negara superpower: 1) Kekuatan ekonomi. 2) Kemandirian dan penguasaan teknologi tinggi. 3) Kekuatan militer.
      Dari ketiga faktor utama itu Cina dianggap berpotensi besar untuk menyaingi dominasi negara-negara barat. Apalagi Cina itu Asia, bukan barat.

      Naluri manusia itu pada dasarnya ingin "dianggap lebih" dari orang lain, dan enggan untuk disaingi.

WHY

I do not know who create this song. I do not understand its lyric. I just know that this song really touched my heart. I listened to it over and over. Eventually I tried to find out the meaning of the first 3 characters of the lyrics, and found its meaning: 为什么 = WHY. My friend told me that the question was answered in the lyrics: 因为我 = BECAUSE OF ME. Let me go through this post begging you fellow Christian brother please return to the beginning of Christianity, let's back to the Bible. My religious consciousness told me that Jesus did NOT teach you to create many denominations of Christianity. If Christianity begun from one person, that is Jesus, then why I see many denominations to this day. Let this world only know one Christianity, one faith, one communion, one congregation. I am begging you, please! Post update 24 March 2021: The greatness of God (infinite) is beyond human knowledge (finite). Please remember the story about St. Augustine and a child by seaside whose want to po...

Tacit knowledge

Frankly, this is the most difficult topic for me to write about. This is something abstract, not easy to express or formulate in written or verbal form. But I tried to express it in this post. When I was in junior high school, I was told that knowledge consisted of two main branches, namely exact and non-exact knowledge, as I mentioned in a previous post . Simply, I refer to it as logical and illogical knowledge, the two inseparable abilities which actually united and embedded within humans as I mentioned in the other previous post . I think those two posts can stimulate our minds on how to understand Tacit knowledge. There are two main realms. The first realm refers to the science of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer programming, etc., which can be coded/formulated, where the result is logically certain. The second realm refers to social sciences, politics, psychology, philosophy, art, etc., which cannot be coded/formulated with a definite formula. Lately I have heard the term...

Triple Filter Test

In ancient Greece, Socrates was known to have great knowledge and was very honorable. One day, a woman met him and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your best friend?" "Wait a moment," Socrates answered; "Before you tell me anything, I will give you a simple test called the Triple Filter Test." The first filter is TRUTHFULNESS: "Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?". "No, actually, I JUST HEARD ISSUES about it," the woman replied. "Good," said Socrates. "So you're not sure it's true? Ok, now I'll give you the second filter." The second filter is GOODNESS: "Is what you are going to say about my friend something good?" "No, quite the opposite..." answered the woman. So, Socrates continues, "you will tell something bad about him, but you are not sure whether it is true. Well, you still have one more chance; there is still one more filter, namely the third...
