Di Kenya, sebuah sekolah membangun jalur pejalan kaki beratap lengkap dengan titik air minum. Tujuannya untuk melindungi anak2 yang harus berjalan kaki jauh setiap hari dari panas ekstrem. Ini bukan hanya soal fasilitas, tapi bentuk kepedulian yang manusiawi.

Membandingkan Indonesia vs Vietnam dari sisi kebijakan perdagangan internasional.

Satu hal yg gue baru sadar, kebijakan TKDN itu gila banget sih, pantesan investor global pada ga melirik Indonesia.

This is Borobudur in Indonesia, one of the world's most important and mysterious buildings.

Why? Because it's the largest Buddhist temple ever built — and it was also abandoned for nearly one thousand years...

Selama Soeharto berkuasa, pemilu tetap dilaksanakan. Namun, tentu dilakukan dengan kecurangan yang terstruktur, sistematis, & masif.

Bagaimana langkah rezim ini hingga berhasil mencacatkan demokrasi?

In 1991, Metallica performed a memorable concert in Moscow at a military airfield, just a few months prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The event was part of the 'Monsters of Rock' festival, which also featured renowned bands like AC/DC and Pantera. With a staggering attendance of over 1.6 million people, the concert set a record at that time and was hailed as a symbol of democracy and freedom. Metallica was enjoying immense success thanks to their critically acclaimed album known as the Black Album, and one of their popular hits, "Enter Sandman," was performed during the show.

Reflecting on the experience years later, Metallica's lead singer, James Hetfield, remarked, "Actually, I would have to say the Russian show when we showed up in '91 after the coup, where the country had opened up and was no longer communist. Doing that open airfield, we played with four other bands, and basically, for the first time, it was a free concert out in an airfield, and they estimated a million, or half a million, nobody knew really. But just being able to play in a place that was just fresh and hadn't heard anything like that before really, and just watching people change as the music moved them. There were plenty of military people that just started taking their uniforms off and started rocking out. It was a really freeing thing, so it was awesome to witness that."

It's worth mentioning that only two other bands have achieved greater concert attendance numbers. Rod Stewart's concert in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1994, drew approximately 3.4 million people, while Jean Michel Jarre's concert in 1997 amassed a staggering 3.5 million fans.

Tinker Hatfield tells the story of winning the 24-hour design competition and then designing the Air Max here (https://t.co/nGQEBIIpSA)

I also quoted from this interview (https://t.co/QV0se1otsO)

I learned about “the positive manifold” phenomenon in “Ungifted: Intelligence Redefined" by @sbkaufman (https://t.co/M7i41IRcsL)

And this is the Pompidou Centre:

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

In 1985, Nike held a 24-hour shoe design contest.

Nike was struggling. Their stock dropped 50%. They had to lay off people. Adidas, Converse, & Reebok were all selling more shoes.

So in a panicked attempt to find creative talent, Nike held a shoe design contest.

The winner was

A corporate architect named Tinker Hatfield.

"Two days after the competition," he said, "I wasn't even asked—I was told that I was now a footwear designer for Nike."

As he got to work on his first official shoe design, he thought about a building he had studied in architecture school: The Centre Pompidou in Paris.

The Centre Pompidou is an inside-out building, meaning that the structural, mechanical, and circulation systems are all exposed.

“That building,” Tinker said, “was describing what it was to the people of Paris. And I thought, ‘Well why not do that with a shoe? Let’s cut a hole in the side and show what’s in the shoe.’”

So Tinker designed an inside-out shoe:

The Air Max 1.

The Air Max 1 was a massive success, and it steered Nike's design direction from then on.

"To this day," Tinker says, "Phil Knight says I saved Nike."

Takeaway 1:

Had he not studied that building in Paris, Tinker says, he couldn’t have created the Air Max.

Creativity, he says, is a function of the “library in your head."

“When you sit down to create something...what you create is a culmination of everything you’ve seen and done previous to that point.”

Takeaway 2:

Tinker Hatfield went to architecture school and then he was a corporate architect for 4.5 years. Then, literally overnight, he became one of the best shoe designers in the world.

This makes me think of a counter-intuitive discovery made by psychologist Charles Spearman in 1904.

Before Spearman, the natural assumption was that the more you specialize in one thing, the worse you’ll be at other things.

Instead, Spearman discovered "the positive manifold" phenomenon.

He found that different abilities tend to be positively correlated. That the expertise gained through specialization is transferrable. That the cognitive and creative abilities cultivated as an architect could positively correlate with being a shoe designer.
