Empowerment, Beauty, and the Shifting Paradigm: A Reflection on Standards

When you throw away the concept and the dimension of time, you’ll find that the effort put into grooming yourself is a futile endeavor, contributing to the perpetuation of the “halo effect” ideology. We cannot be blind to the innovations in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, marketing, etc., that contribute to shaping our world in this way. Transforming someone from unattractive to beautiful is a form of empowerment. Much of the progress and growth appears empowering, until it becomes mainstream....

Throw your ethics into the trash can!

If someone automates Instagram to like every account they follow, reply, and comment based on the context of the picture you post, you will find some sort of excitement if that someone is who you like, and otherwise if you don’t like. Humans can be easily fooled because of the feature of ‘feeling.’ Humans are not multitaskers, but with computers, they can be. Computers resemble the Jutsu of a thousand shadows from Naruto....

Announcing My Dead Dreams

Fuck I need a platform to bury my dreams. It’s such a shame that people don’t announce their dead dreams. The thing is, we don’t know what kind of creature a dream is. Most people see a dream as a lifeless thing, and when it dies, it’s considered to have no value anymore. But I see a dream as a living entity; it can be like a human or like a fruit....

The Stagnation of LDK and Many College Organizations

Many LDK/rohis campus or organization in general seem to not be contributing much to the nation, or even to the university, or their respective departments/majors. @fukifasilkom @gamaisitb @mt_binus etc They tend to provide unurgent seminars, lack research tailored to the needs of their members, and make little effort to help all members reach their potential.

The Fallacy of Effectiveness and Kemubaziran

God created all beautiful scenery. What is the purpose of beauty? And it is never enough. It is like the Alif Lam Mim and the likes Ayat. Or it is like the ‘yeee hawww’ from the Jackass. It indicates that it’s not the rational that leads, but the irrational, the redundant, the ineffective. That is the fallacy where they see others similar to them, so they feel like they are replaceable, unimportant, and useless....

I miss JIRA and I Hate Non-jujutsu Sorcerers

I miss Slack, Jira, Confluence, and all the project management tools I used to take for granted. The project management course seemed perfect until it had to be implemented in the real world, which is rife with scarcity and limitations. Implementing a growth mindset often feels challenging because, in many large corporations and government organizations, managers tend to be rigid, resistant to change, and determined to enforce outdated cultures. Despite this, they somehow manage to project an image of success and the right course of action....

Raja Midas mencari Silenus, teman setia Dionysus, dan menanyakan kepadanya: “Apa kebahagiaan terbesar manusia?” Silenus tetap muram dan tidak berkomunikasi sampai akhirnya, dipaksa oleh Raja, ia tertawa dengan kencang. “Manusia yang fanatis, lahir karena kecelakaan dan ketekunan, mengapa kamu memaksakanku untuk memberitahu apa yang akan menjadi kebahagiaan terbesarmu yang seharusnya kamu tidak ingin mengetahui? Yang terbaik bagimu adalah tidak pernah dilahirkan. Yang kedua terbaik adalah mati segera!” Bagaimana budaya Hellenik menanggung kebenaran yang mengerikan ini?...

Dear Budiman Sudjatmiko

Untuk Budi, rather than building ‘BUKIT ALGORITMA’ the hills of wannabe Silicon Valley algorithms that are centralized, elitist, and stagnant, it’s better to develop a mosque-based social credit system like Chongqing. The title is ‘AKSELERASI SMART CITY MELALUI MASJID BERPRESTASI’ which is more decentralized and prioritizes equal distribution. It gets boring every time there’s a beggar, making it very difficult to verify whether they are genuinely in need or not....
