Sutono’s Blog

I had a very fruitful discussion with one of my close friend after dinner tonight.

It revolves around one huge topic which I have always been interested in: economics

And it all started with this very simple question:

Is the world economy constantly growing, or is it constantly depreciating, or is it staying constant all the time?

We all know that world economy, in general trend, is always constantly growing. There may be some market crashes or economic depression once in few years, but eventually after those corrections, world economy will grow to yet another higher level never tested before.

Then another question kicks in. How can the economy keep growing? Does the world economy follow the law of conservation of energy, that is energy can neither be created nor destroyed? In this case, does economy can keep growing by itself? Or does it grow in the expense of something else to keep it running? What is that something else?

A very tricky question.

We both conclude that the world economy does follow the law of conservation of energy. Economy cannot constanly growing without feeding on something, which, according to us, is our own earth. The world economy indeed grows in the expense of our beloved earth. Earth is the source of all raw materials needed in all industries, which move the economic wheel of a country, and eventually move the economy of the whole world.

A very scary fact, considering that we only have one earth.

Then the question, how long can the world economy keep growing? Or in other words, when will our earth fail to feed us?

What’s in your mind?

La Mente - The Mind

"Minds, once broaden, cannot retain their initial confines."

Human brain is amazing. It processes billions of data and stores millions of them from the time we open our eyes in the morning. And, sometimes it even works when we are soundly asleep, far beyond our consciences. 

Our minds are indeed the most powerful element. For from one’s mind, the power to preserve and devastate originate and the history of the world is written. It was all started from Hitler’s mind that the worst humanitarian tragedy occurred in history. And it is also started from Mother Teresa’s mind that the whole world learn about the meaning of unconditional love.

Basically our mind makes us who we are.

This blog is a tribute to this most powerful element. As the world unravels day by day, I will try to share my inner-thoughts, my minds, some of which are valuable but quickly gone silent and forgotten.
