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 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 to 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. Seemingly, 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.

Money For Nothing But For Financial Crisis

What is money? Many joke about money. For me, an ordinary man, says "Money is my payment's tools to get some goods and services". Conversely for those who receive my money. So simple and beautiful.

Agentic Browsing and Copyright Infringement Issues in AI Training

A few days ago, just for fun, I checked this blog's page load speed on Google Page Speed Insights . I was intrigued by a new metric called Agentic Browsing (AI-agent-based browsing). This metric measures how user-friendly a website is for an AI agent to read and navigate. It can even autonomously click, fill out forms, and make purchases on behalf of the user. But Agentic Browsing is still under development and subject to change. In the past, search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex only presented search results. It took time to open dozens or even hundreds of websites one by one to find the most relevant answers. A hassle, right? In the era of AI-powered personal assistants, AI agents summarize information and directly answer user's questions. They can do this because AI models are trained on vast amounts of data collected from across the web . I prefer to call it secretly scraping/collecting data without the copyright holder's permission. This raises the question: Ar...

Mr. Money Is Not Guilty - A Satirical Essay for Humans

This is a special guest post. The grievances and notice from Mr. Money that share it in sorrow to readers. Please read carefully below: My name is Mr. Money (sometimes called Dough). My face is just plain, and my physical appearance is also weak, but I can overhaul the world order. I'm able to change the behavior of human nature because humans idolize me. For my sake, many people change their personalities, betray friends, sell their bodies, or even abandon their faith. That's not my command, note that! I really do not understand the difference between pious and depraved people, but humans using me as a benchmark, determine who is rich or poor, honorable or lowly. Blame it on humans, not me! I am not a devil, but I wonder why people often do abominations for my sake. So, I ask for justice, who is the real devil? I'm not the third person who makes them divorce or makes children and parent quarrel. I beg the judge to re-examine this case. It is very clear that I am not God. ...
