FuZZy LoGiC and FuNNy LoGiC



For you who are familiar with the term of ´fuzzy logic´ might be not too difficult to enjoy this blog, called ˝FuNNy Logic˝.
For those who is not familiar with the term of ´fuzzy logic´ I might as well to ask you, to go to Uncle Google and Aunty Wikie... :-)

FuNNy LoGic

FuNNy Logic, can be also interpreted as a pun of ´fuzzy logic´where the letters of ´Z´ (fuZZy) being turned around or being rotated around 90 degrees to the left or to the right, to become ´N´ (fuNNy)

For years, I´ve been using this kind of ´logic´ to created some words like ˝Kopitalisme˝ for example . Kopitalisme is came from words of ´Kopi´ means coffee, and ´kental´ means thick. So the whole meaning of Kopitalisme is actually a parodical ism about black coffee. But be also a pun of Kapitalisme (Capitalism)

This term of Kopitalisme is well known to the most of cyber community of Indonesia. Specially by those who are dealing with sociology and culture, academicly. And later that term being found by someone, while he was blog walking, then the person sent me an email informing that the term of ´Kopitalisme´ being used by marketing purposes smells like some kind of agenda to buzzing up the image of Starbucks Indonesia. Perhaps because of the -relatively-bad images of some MNCs in Indonesia. An article also called ´Kopitalisme´ appeared in one of a well known national news paper of Indonesia, called Republika.

The brief info about Kopitalisme is http://kopitalisme.blogspot.com/ (English version) And http://kopitalisme.tk/ (Indonesian version)

Another word I created, by using this different version of ´logic´ is ´Hole Spirit´ based on my -slightly wierd question- which is: Can a donut be a symbol of a religion?

One might ask, why donut? The very base of that ´wierd´ question, is when you are talking about religion, most of you think that God is ´exist´ that is the standard of ´truth´ according to religious perspectives, so to speak.

But if you use the -let say precisely deduced from classical predicate logic- that kind of ´truth´ required some degrees of ´facts´. This means that, according to this kind of predicate logic: God is ´not exist´.

For those who read some of my writings, they might noticed that I never trying to be a wise kind of serious deep thinking Philosophers, and such. (In fact I refused to be called by anykind of status.)

So, how can I transform those different set of truths (religious truth & scientific truth) into FuNNy LoGiC? Let me draw the simple lines, below:

1. ˝God is exist´
´God is exist´ ---> Neuron chit chat.
Produced by the nature way of thinking -caricaturally- we can call it ´neuron chit-chat´ based on some perceptions. By these varieties of perceptions that claims ´God is exist,´ leads some individuals and community (pshycologicly and culturally) into -so called- FAITH.

2. ˝God is not exist˝
´God is not exist´---> Neuron chit chat.
Same with point 1 above. Produced by ´neuron chit-chat´ based on some observation on -philosophical-scientifically- facts. The observation of this kind of facts (we might know already, that fact and truth is a different thing) , is not necessarily means can be a results to claim a conclution that ´God is not exist´.

The very solid base of the claim number 2 (God is not exist) is not lays peacefully (haha!) in philosophycal-sociological fields. But rather in biologicalsciences, micro-chemistryscience, sub-atomicscience and technology or lays in neuroscience. Without the involvements of these field of sciences, such claim in number 2 is also a FAITH, therefore is also a perception.

What do we got from there? Fightings? Killings? Endless time of quarrels? Since centuries ago, the debates between those who have the nature way of thinking 1 and 2 still happening until now.

This phenomenon can be translated by using FuNNy LoGiC as a ´donut debates´: Is the hole of the donut exist or not exist? If there is no more hole, can we still call it a ´donut´ ?

Later I created a specific blog, called Hole Spirit ( http://hole-spirit.blogspot.com/ )

WHAT IS YOUR WILDEST TOUGHTS?

I do believe everyone of us have something in our mind, no matter how ´strange´ and ´wild´ it is. Can be something fun, serious, deep or perhaps something light. Or something that we don´t want to share with other people because of many reasons.

Back in time, since I was in the highschool until the college, I was involved with so many conflicts and fightings. I remember one of my friend/neighbour who came from Manchester -she was one of those student exhange programs between countries- said to me, jokingly ˝Maybe you should resign from your college, and get a ˝SoB˝ degree instead...˝

I recall asking her, ˝ What SoB, means?˝

Because she was not comfortable to said it, clearly, so she wrote it down, SoB is ˝Son of a B**ch˝. That time I took the word of ˝B**ch˝ as ˝Beach˝, so the full sentence would be ˝Son of the Beach˝.

And seriously on that specific moment, I was start to think that to have my own beach and island is not a bad thing to consider, where people all over the world are coming to visit and enjoy the beauty.

She was laughing in tears, not to under-estimate me, but how that I miss-understood the word of ˝B**ch˝...

Believe it or not, not even 10 years later (2001) I have my own beautiful white sand beach on a small island, and people from all over the world are coming to visit for some great snorklings and divings. The beach called Jeneiya located on island called Pasi...

Since then, I always enjoying to hear if somebody -even its rarely- to share their ´wild´ thoughts. Like one of my own tought: Can a donut be a symbol of a religion?...

Why we bothered to play with our own ´wild´ toughts? You might ask.

Because, since everything is ´neuron chit chat´ which means that everytime we are having some toughts (whatever it is, bad or good, fun, happy or sad) we are firing some micro-electromagnetical field of memory by billion of our neuron ´up to the universe´, until for some strange reasons, those memory would catch up with the chaotic memory of the universe in specific frequency, and become some informations, communicating the answers of any kind of our individual-personal questions or problems. But, sometimes the results are so easy to escape from our lousy observations.

And I enjoying this as one of my method of individual-observation, to absorbs my surroundings, circumtances, and mapping and solving problems. Yup! I am happy enough by enjoying to use my kind of logic: FuNNy LoGiC!







Missing Point



˝Missing Point˝ is a novel about a guy called Galigo Patalino, an Architecture student, a rocker in his campus, an activist and a writer.


But, unfortunately he also well known as a rebel among his friends and by his Professors. Galigo PataLino is trying to against a Mayor candidat to gain power, by expossing and investigating the Canal Project Design of the city.

His investigation, based on his very raw knowledge of Architectural and civil works. But, intuitively he knew that the canal project based on some corruption conspiracies. And it is not a practical design to protect the city and the community from flood that have been regularly create some huge social disasters. The canal project, designed by the Mayor candidate, his own Professor in Architecture.
While dealing with some problems caused by his ´rebellious´campus scale activities, he also writing a novel, called ´Missing Point´ a term of Architectural drawing methods, that he apply into ´philosophical´ zone. In this book -Missing Point- he combined an ancient philosophies, based on a tale of his ancestor, some musics and social-intellectual movements.

The main character in his novel, called PatanYali, a humorist and a ´time traveller.´ Everytime PatanYali want to go for ˝ time traveling ˝, he uses some ˝mantras˝ based on some actual song lyrics.

Galigo, finally using his philosophical perception of ´Missing Point´ to be applied in his real life to solve the problems.

Currently -since 2005- the name of PatanYali, is actually and already well known in the most of the cyber and mailing list community in Indonesia. Those people in mailing lists even wrote a poem in his blog, wrote short stories and some great comments addressed to PatanYali, just like PatanYali is an actual, a real and a living creature...:-)...
