You can find my social media links on the homepage. I&#8217;m always open to connecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By trade, I\u2019m an electronics engineering student, trained to see the world in circuits and systems. But I\u2019m also drawn to the deep human questions found in philosophy, theology, music, and literature. This blog lives in the space between those two worlds. Where logic meets mystery, and analysis meets awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This website began under a different name: <em>Overthinking Stoic<\/em>. That was an honest description of where I was stuck in my own head, analyzing everything to the point of paralysis. I changed the name to <strong>Ars Vitae<\/strong> (The Art of Life) as a commitment. It represents a move from endless analysis to the practical, often messy, craft of living. It\u2019s the daily work of testing everything and holding fast to what is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space is my open journal of that process. You\u2019ll find my engineering projects and book notes alongside reflections on ancient philosophy and biblical wisdom. My perspective is often grounded in the Eastern and Western Christian traditions, but the questions we tackle here are universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading. I&#8217;m glad we&#8217;re on this journey together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Ezekiel Yu (or Yehezkiel Reynard Wibowo, my legal name here in Indonesia).
