Calculus for arts students

Also published on Wordpress. If someone asks you, why non-STEM university students should learn STEM subjects like math and physics, you would probably answer well-roundedness as a benefit. While I do agree well-roundedness is a good thing, there is a problem with that answer: why in universities? Before they graduated…

The problem with math and sports

Also published on Wordpress. Quite a while ago, I wrote a blogpost about how people’s hatred and fear of math was caused by the poor teaching; I even wrote an Indonesian version of it. While I didn’t write any about sports education, my sentiment was more or less the same. …

Oppenheimer: not warmongering, but still feckless

Also published on Wordpress. I am not going to debate the veracity of the accounts. Therefore, I am going to treat the story and its characters as entirely fictional. No, this film does not glorify wars. The titular character is frequently shown feeling guilty about his contributions to weapons of…

Defending bullies because you are fucktarded

Also published on Wordpress. No, not all bullies suffer. Not all of them are victims of bullying and not all of them are from abusive homes. Who do you think you are kidding? A bully is someone whose idea of empowerment is punching others down; it is about power imbalance…
