Hello, everyone. How are you? I hope you are all healthy and having a nice day. Recently, I read a book entitled "Enaknya Berdebat Dengan Orang Goblok." This book was written by Puthut Ea, the chief of a famous media outlet in Indonesia, an alternative media outlet called Mojok.

This book is very interesting because it is entitled "Enaknya Berdebat Dengan Orang Goblok." Goblok in Indonesian is more politely stupid. There are many factors that make people stupid. The underlined thing is that people like this are people who don't want to learn new lessons and perspectives.

The essay that was written tells about many things. Especially new perspectives on many things contained. The author takes many new perspectives. Not black, not white. Maybe in the middle. For example, about the dissolution of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia.

The author himself still meets old friends who are part of organizations that were disbanded by the government. The author had time to have coffee. From this essay, we learn that thinking has no limits. Don't box it.

However, the interesting thing in this book can be seen from the cover which consists of white and yellow. Very contrasting colors and these colors are very attractive to readers. Another thing, this book contains essays written by Puthut Ea. Where these essays touch on daily life, social life, and even the most important thing relationships between humans, and do not forget to tell things that happen in the Mojok editorial office.

Of the many essays written by Putut Ea, it turns out that the essay entitled Enaknya Berdebat Dengan Orang Goblog is the title of this book. This means that it highlights that arguing with stupid people is very annoying. And here it tells many experiences from Putut Ea who argued with many people who do not have the same perspective.

And even when arguing, that person only wants to pursue mistakes, not want to add to the region. Debating one opinion with another, for me is very annoying. So it does not build a new perspective where we can learn from each other. That's all I can tell. See you again in the next book.
