Klo mau cari orang2 yg hancurkan komunitas Islam, ya mrk2 ini. Komitmennya u/ rakyat benar2 nol. Rakyat dibunuhi di jalanan mrk malah mendekatkan diri pd kekuasaan. Ra enek fungsine dadi pemimpin umat. Someone rlly need 2write a paper on how corrupt Indonesian Muslim leaders are.

The recent decision by LPDP to increase the share of STEM scholarship recipients is a much-needed correction. For too long, Indonesia's scholarship allocation has favored ambiguous “development” fields or MBA tracks that yield little marginal societal benefit.

However, the caveat is concerning: this new prioritization is tethered to vaguely defined “strategic industries.” That is a flawed approach. Today’s strategic darling might be AI and semiconductors; tomorrow, it could be humanoid robots, neuromorphic computing, or quantum photonics. Technological breakthroughs are inherently uncertain. Anchoring public investment to a narrow and bureaucratically defined industry list risks missing the real innovation curve.

What Indonesia truly needs is a coherent, bottom-up construction of the technological stack, starting from fundamentals. This means serious investment in mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering (beyond just power systems and power management, ok?), and certainly physics.

Even in AI, Indonesia lags not just because of a lack of “AI specialists,” but also due to weak foundations across the tech stack. Without that, no amount of AI hype will yield genuine capability. For example, I’ve tried to find people in Indonesia working on modern reinforcement learning methods (like GRPO), and it’s nearly impossible.

A broader philosophical correction is also in order: stop treating the government as a job provider. That logic has led to bloated bureaucracy, misaligned incentives, and widespread rent-seeking. The government’s role is not to create jobs directly, but to fix market failures, provide public goods, and de-risk fundamental investments, like basic research and core human capital.

I still hold the view that the net benefit of LPDP is close to zero. But if LPDP must exist, its limited resources should be directed to high-benefit, high-demand sectors: public health (doctors, nurses, psychologists) and education (especially STEM teachers for K-12). There is little justification for subsidizing MBAs or vaguely defined “development” degrees abroad; these carry ambiguous returns and often serve only to reinforce domestic elitism rather than genuinely improve the nation’s human capital.

You know, even if Iran wasn’t beautiful and historic and its people not so educated and cultured, it still does not deserve to be bombed.
Stop measuring the worth of human beings and their homelands with western moral reasoning.
This too is a symptom of internalised colonialism.

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

Been chatting with my wife about an issue I want to solve, but am a bit stumped -- so thought I would ask the question here, and maybe get some ideas:

We both work full-time, and have two young kids at home.

Our nanny leaves at 5pm, and then I get home a bit after that. We play with the kids for about an hour (while my wife makes them dinner), have dinner, and then we each give one of them a bath, and help put them to bed.

By then it's around 7pm, we're both completely exhausted. We would like nothing more than to enjoy some downtime the rest of the night after a long day, but the work is just beginning.

The kitchen and dining areas are now a mess from dinner, the dishes need to be done, and food needs to be prepared for the kids for the next day.

By the time all of it is done, it's after 9pm, we are beyond exhausted, and the day is essentially over.

We have a cleaner that comes to the house twice a week, but of course wraps up well before 6pm.

What do other people do to solve this issue?

How do you win back your free time after the kids go do bed, without leaving a mess overnight and ensuring they have food ready for the next day?

(Thread) Selamat pagi dr Qatar. Siang ini akan diskusi dgn teman2 diaspora. Jadi ingin bicara lagi ttg #KaburAjaDulu di sini boleh ya? Inilah argumen yg ingin saya ajukan: Jumlah org Indonesia yg berkiprah di luar negeri masih amat kurang, kita butuh lebih banyak. Jadi begini...

Kamu adalah pecahan Khalik, bukan pencemooh.

Akalmu diberikan untuk membuka rahasia langit, bukan untuk meminta belas kasih.

Bumi yang baru akan lahir dari karyamu, bukan dari cela, bukan dari fitnah.

Kamu lebih besar dari gunung, lebih luas dari lautan. Kamu ksatria, bukan korban.

Bukan dari penguasa, bukan dari pemburu harta, dan bukan dari orang lain - perubahan akan lahir darimu.

Kata psikologku ada 2 kemungkinan:

1. Dibesarkan dgn kritik.
Utk hal yg bernilai 90, fokus mereka ada di -10, bukan di +90. Cenderung melihat yg salah dari segala hal.

2. Dibesarkan di lingkungan yg menormalisasi kata2 pedas asal jujur. Tdk tau bahwa kata2 baik juga bisa jujur.

Networking is overrated-

No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.
