Man is mortal; thus, every man is replaceable. Dependency is something I never force onto someone or any system. If I am somehow needed by someone, I try to help, but not to make them dependent on me. I want everything to be loosely coupled. I want to give every beautiful thing I have and then perish. For a company, organization, or family, I don’t want to be seen as irreplaceable....
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corporations and government organizations, managers tend to be rigid, resistant to change, and determined to enforce outdated cultures.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....
Illusion is the fuel of acceleration and substance To appreciate someone, with insignificant achievement, something little. Someone doesn’t care about appreciation if what they want is to only survive. How can someone appreciate themself more deeper, more meaningful? It’s tricky, because someone might feel small with no appreciation. Sometimes the trophy is mispresents to someone. One always need to take the patent. To take a patent is to responsible for their risk....
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?...
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....
You know what Pareto once said, right? It’s like he figured out that only 20 percent of folks are doing 80 percent of the cool stuff. The rest of us are stuck with these mind-numbing jobs that could easily be replaced by robots. Now, speaking of Indonesia, it’s a Muslim-majority place, but that whole “Isy kariman Au Mutsyahidan”, live gloriously or die a martyr thing? Well, it’s more of a catchy slogan than anything else....
Algo goblok! Aku dapet iklan liburan melulu. Sudah tau aku ini orang nasionalis chauvinist, atau namanya lainnya orang kerdil. Melihat para TKI dan TKW yang menyumbang devisa, adalah suatu ketololan apabila kau keluar hanya untuk bersenang-senang, kecuali kau bisa mengeruk dan mencuri dari mereka yang di luar. Ketika melihat daerahmu sendiri kacau balau dengan kabel-kabel sarang laba-laba, siapa itu penyusun sarang laba-laba? Ialah ia yang memperlambat dan meracunimu dengan gedung-gedung kotak, yang tiap hari memberikan pesan ‘daftar di situs kami, maka kamu akan jadi dewa petir’....
Job hopping resembles the traveler’s journey in Kino’s travels in “Kino no Tabi.” Traveling seems to be a dream shared by many, akin to creating a legacy like Ibn Battuta and others did in previous generations. However, this notion appears outdated now due to the advent of tools like Google Maps. While such tools cover most places, some areas remain uncharted, and they fail to capture the true ambiance and local behavior, or in a places like China might lack comprehensive map reviews due to strict government policies....
Authenticity is bullshit. Make a sign and hide! Don’t show! Don’t tell! You can’t be authentic if you’re not ignorant. Only the indifferent and ignorant can be authentic. That explains why Luffy from One Piece is the authentic Hegelian master. He is as innocent as a child, simply wanting to be free, the best version of himself, and the pirate king. The plot itself is perfect. He lives his life in ignorance and cannot die because it’s the main character’s superpower from the author....
How would you like to die? I want to die as a coward, like the great coward. Regarding the impact and benefit, I am always thankful for those who think for themselves, not the ones who preach that they do things for someone else. I want to be the most helpful person, but I don’t want to be known. Unfortunately, I can’t have both. What I can do is strike a balance, finding equilibrium between these two things....
