I'm only an ordinary Indonesian who loves alternate history on one side and K-pop on another. Simply being like that. I'm a Liberal Socialist whose supports the ideals of Keynesian economics and social liberalism. I am a cultural Muslim, but mostly secular. My views on Supreme Being is closer with Spinoza's concept of God and Laozi's teaching of Tao
I was a non-Marxist Socialist and a revolutionary Nationalist during my early youth. I admired some authoritarian figures, such as Soekarno, Lenin, and even Mussolini. However, I gradually transformed to become more liberal and open-minded. Sutan Sjahrir is now my political hero so far.

Favorite words
- A national revolution is only the result of a democratic revolution, and nationalism should be second to democracy. The State of Indonesia is only a name we give to the essence we intend and aim for.

----- Kim Gu, Journal of Baekbeom (1947) - (Regarding Korean culture wave)
I want our nation to be the most beautiful in the world. By this I do not mean the most powerful nation. Because I have felt the pain of being invaded by another nation, I do not want my nation to invade others. [...] The only thing that I desire in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture. This is because the power of culture both makes ourselves happy and gives happiness to others.
----- Kim Gu, Journal of Baekbeom (1947) - No prosperity and no glory can save a nation that is rotten at heart.

----- Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, as quoted in Turkey Today (1928) by Grace Ellison - We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
----- Charlie Chaplin, an excerpt of the famous "Barber Speech" from The Great Dictator (1940) - Nothing is more precious than Independence and Liberty.
----- Ho Chi Minh, as quoted in Ho Chi Minh and His Vietnam: A Personal Memoir (1972) by Jean Sainteny - As you can see I don't have a supporter who speaks well nor some tall nor someone slim. I only have the (Infinite Challenge) members with me who are very lacking and ordinary at the best. But the absolute majority of our society is an average person. Give me an average person to change the world, not someone elite who can talk well.
----- Jeong Hyeong-don, as quoted from the 379th episode of Infinite Challenge (17 May 2014) - The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
