the tropical suit

There needs to be a tropical friendly structured and layered format standing in for the European suit. :p make it work! 

pertandingan tak/rasis

Saya tak faham orang yang virtue signal dia, "aku tak rasis, dorang pula rasis". Tt+Pp : kita senegara, berperlembagaan etnokratik. Rasisme TERSURAT DALAM KEBANGSAAN kita. Inilah hakikat berperundangan. Sukaxsuka ianya kita. 

Suka? Panggillah kebudayaan sebangsa Malaysia.

Xsuka? Panggillah kedukaan sebangsa Malaysia.

Termaktublah dalam jiwa kita!

How do theists think about the world?

How do theists think about the world?

Context : I read a lot of online discussion between Muslim and non-Muslim Malaysians, and it seems the non-Muslims have not always understood how to approach theists. I also recently hung out with my dad, and was reminded of how he thinks - my view is that for most of his life, God has been his best friend.

Purpose of the note : A brief introduction for non-theists / atheists / agnostics / a-religious / a-spiritual / mainly material-ist / non-deists / non-animist wankers. For the purpose of clarification, I have included as theists people who ascribe at all a minimal-or-greater personality to objects, animals, plants, humans, or anyther living thing whatsoever.

How do self-identified spiritualists think about the world?

Well to them, God is a person. To a theist, god has a mind, in the same ontological manner that non-god persons have minds.

The point : basically they think of God, gods, or spirits, as Persons. Usually, this Person or Persons, are engaged with the believer in the way that non-theists engage with other legally recognised entities in society. 

For most people, their friends and family are persons, and so are their neighbours, colleagues, and the strangers in society around them. For others, animals are persons. For some, plants and other objects. For some, governments, but in a different way. For some, the universe as a whole.

For some, so are entities outside the universe - and they then develop their supporting notion of how communication occurs from outside to inside the universe. A deist simply foregoes the latter.

The final thing to note, is that for many theists, their best friend or favourite other mind is God, a god, or some other spirit which lacks material presentation. Without going into the details of how human cognition works about this, the important thing to note here is that God/s as favourite social partner/s, subsequently factors into the decision calculus of many humans. More so than the government, their spouses, family or other friends.

End of note.

* Well what is a person, in general?

We interact daily with entities we regard as cybernetic*, i.e., entities which have :

(A) control* mechanisms / intentions and projects

(B) communication* mechanisms / signals and meanings

* cybernetics is referred to here, using its traditional definition; control and communication may be further interpreted as two ways of naming and studying the same phenomenon.
