You can find my social media links on the homepage. I&#8217;m always open to connecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m an electronics engineering student by trade, so I tend to see the world in circuits and systems. But I&#8217;m also drawn to the bigger, messier human questions that live in philosophy, theology, music, and literature. This blog sits somewhere between those two worlds, where logic runs into mystery and analysis runs into awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This website used to go by a different name: Overthinking Stoic. That name was pretty accurate. I was stuck in my own head, analyzing everything until I couldn&#8217;t move. I changed it to Ars Vitae (The Art of Life) as a kind of commitment to myself. Less endless analysis, more actually living. It&#8217;s about testing things out and holding onto what&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my open journal of that process. Engineering projects and book notes sit next to reflections on ancient philosophy and scripture. My perspective tends to come from the Eastern and Western Christian traditions, but the questions themselves are for anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glad you&#8217;re here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Ezekiel Yu (or Yehezkiel Reynard Wibowo, my legal name here in Indonesia).
