Kalau di sepeda di merek Polygon dapet Strattos 6 atau Strattos S7D. Tanpa biaya bensin. Cuma ya itu, kalau pas waktunya ganti part bisa meringis. Ban luar sebiji 500rb yang standar. Itu harga ban atau harga emas 1 gram sebelum covid? 🤣

💚 (titipan) aku bisa motor gigi & motor matic, dan 20jt itu budget mentok ya guys soalnya aku udah ke dealer motor malah disuruh "nanggung bgt mending tambah 2jt" "tambah 8jt udah dapet X"
Emang 20jt tuh belum dapet motor bagus kah guys? 🙏😭

@tanyakanrl Jalin relasi dengan luar institusi. Studi kasusnya waktu masa kuliah. Walaupun selain kuliah juga ikut organisasi kampus, tapi saya baru menyadari saat ini kalau relasi luar kampus begitu diperlukan. Bro, trust me, keluarlah dari sangkar kampusmu. Jalin dengan organisasi luar.

@tanyakanrl Fermented. Bagaikan wine yang semakin lama, semakin mahal dengan cita rasa yang lebih unik.

@tanyakanrl Temen saya speak up nder. Pakai akun pribadi utamanya. Padahal dia di pusat. Tapi cuma satu doang sih, yang temen saya ASN lain ga ada bau-baunya.

@tanyakanrl Makan dulu kak. Kebanyakan orang underweight itu kurang kalori makan, termasuk saya dulu. Setelah badan mengembang, baru olahraga kardio dan latihan beban. Kalau engga, perut bakal buncit tapi badan tangan dan kaki kering kerempeng.

@Thekokocrypto Terlalu berisiko kalau pemerintah membuat Rupiah melemah. Pemerintah sendiri masih banyak melakukan impor produk luar negeri, termasuk bahan pangan dan energi. Kalau Rupiah semakin lemah, tentu anggaran belanja negara makin berkurang habis karena harga dalam Rupiah semakin mahal.

Nah, mari berjalan untuk memperoleh ide-ide brilian yang selama ini terpendam. Apalagi pagi hari, konsentrasi masih tinggi-tingginya dan kualitas udara pada kondisi terbaik. Mood banget.

A Stanford psychologist spent 4 years proving that the simple act of walking generates 60% more creative ideas than sitting, and the experiment she designed to kill every alternative explanation is one of the most decisive findings in modern psychology.

Her name is Marily Oppezzo.

She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out.

She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas.

The result was almost too clean to publish.

81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves.

On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving.

The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself.

Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision.

She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held.

Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving.

The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything.

This is the part of the study that hit hardest when I read it the first time.

She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it.

Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse.

Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one.

When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up.

The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other.

When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking.

The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes.

The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving.

You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state.

The history of this is the part that should haunt anyone who still does meetings in chairs.

Charles Darwin built a gravel loop behind his house in Kent called the Sandwalk and walked it 3 times a day for the rest of his life. The theory of evolution was developed one lap at a time on that path.

Nietzsche walked up to 10 hours a day during the years he wrote his most important books and openly said the work was conceived on his feet.

Beethoven composed for the morning and walked for 5 hours every afternoon with a pencil in his pocket for when something landed.

Kahneman said the best thinking of his Nobel Prize-winning career happened on leisurely walks with Amos Tversky. Steve Jobs refused to take important conversations sitting down. He held them on foot.

Every one of them was using the system Oppezzo would not measure until 2014. They just did not know what to call it.

The question worth sitting with is the one almost nobody asks.

Every meeting you have ever attended sitting around a table was a meeting held at a fraction of the brain power that was actually available to the people in the room. Every brainstorm that got stuck inside a conference room. Every problem you tried to solve at a desk and gave up on. Every idea you could not quite get to.

The intervention is the easiest one in modern science. No supplement. No app. No subscription. No training program. Just a pair of legs and 15 minutes.

The Stanford lab proved it. The philosophers knew it. The neuroscience explains it.

And almost everyone reading this is still trying to think their way out of problems sitting completely still.

Di dunia ini ada yang disebut supermarket aficionados aka grocery enthusiast, mereka yang suka mendatangi supermarket sebagai bentuk hobi dan pengalaman wisata tersendiri, biasanya mereka mengamati keunikan setiap supermarket, di berbagai negara atau kota.

Salah satu dari orang tersebut adalah saya.

Saya tertarik mengajak mereka ke kopdes🇮🇩 pasti menjadi pengalaman tak terlupakan bagi mereka😄

@eLAmaravati Sains hilang dari peradaban. 🤣
Kami, 11 12 sama anak teknik (studi kasus di kampus institut teknologi). Cuma bedanya, sains lebih kalem dan penurut. 😂

[Istajarul Alim @istajarul]

@KapudS640 Presepsi ekonomi orang-orang emang beda-beda ya, bang. Kalau kamu jujur dari awal dan cewek mu setuju, do it. Uang segitu masih bisa buat jajan pinggir jalan dan minumnya. Habis jajan nongkrong di taman sambil makan jajanmu, bang. Urusan kedepannya, baru kamu evalusai setelahnya.

[Istajarul Alim @istajarul]

Btw, kalau ada yang butuh rujukan hasil eksperimen fisika dan khususnya geofisika, bolehlah kunjungi Researchgate saya sebagai pembanding atau malah rujukan. Walaupun datanya udah hampir 10 tahun yg lalu. 🤣

Dulu kok bisa ya aku buat laporan praktikum dalam bentuk paper seberjibun banyak. Sekarang, buka paper dikit aja sudah gumoh.

[Istajarul Alim @istajarul]

Salah satu mahakarya saya di tahun 2017. Kalo ditanya lagi isinya apa, jujur sudah lupa metodenya. 🥲

[Istajarul Alim @istajarul]

Pernah kejadian serupa. Dikasih tau nomornya salah satu pak menteri di kabinet sekarang. Niat hati pengen ngecek foto profilnya, eh kok kepencen panggil. Padahal udah diwanti-wanti hubungi by call ketika darurat saja. 🤣

[Tanyarlfes @tanyarlfes]

💚 Niatnya teh aku mau kepoin nomer hpnya ya, eh malah kepencet telpon bjir 😭 ini ngaruh ke nilai interview nanti gak ya?? Takut bgt yaa Allah 😭

@__notfrombts @argothrottle Pakai tarsus Madiun + tambah 40rb naik BIAS. Agak ribet tapi lebih murah daripada tarif parsial.
