Questions & Ideas

Seeing and develop a companies that grow from 13 person to 200 person. I understand how hard it is to be caught in the loop of real work that later turn into busy work – that doesn't add real value. Sometimes there are some report that come into my inbox, and just passing through. No action, no todo, just passing by. I still need it that report as I understand the context of **why that particular report created**, but my guess is that there are 25-45% report or work out there that actually can be eliminated without us losing value. 

All of the legal document that I see in notary or court record in Indonesia is typed and printed using a monospace font. They try to mimic what we used to have in the old days when we still use analog typewriter. This tradition is being kept even when the technology and typeface setting now in digital world already allow us to produce a much better legible document. From functional point of view, this doesn't make any sense for me.

A courage to do things that you think right and not worrying about what people or society says is a very nice mental model to have. Unfortunately, this is not a model that school will teach to my kids – which is natural as the goal of school is to keep things in order and teach people to work together. **But since this type of fearlessness (or awareness) will allow you to life like a true royalty, like a king, or queen**, I really want to teach it to my kids. It's a marvelous feeling to have! Is there any kind of routine or things that I can do to help them to do this?

Historically, when we start to decided that our brain is not a good location to keep the things that we need to do during the day, and decided to hire paper or other means of written things to store it?

Most of the information that you consume, read, work, write, store, save, **has a default as private**. What you do later then to process that information and cherry pick which one do you want to share into a certain people or group. What if instead of default private, **the way all that information processing would be **DEFAULT SHARE. Photo that you take today would automatically shared within one week (unless you later specifically filter it out). So Instead of curating things that you would publish, you curate things that you want to keep private. This is a radical expriment of course, and one that not for the meek, but the current technology and automation already allowed us to do this, and I curious on how it would look like to run this kind of experiment with someone.

Is it possible to have a true self. Now with the deluge of media that we have, it's super hard to separate between what come to you as your own, and what come to you from another people idea and thinking.

Something that I can't understand yet is why there is an obese doctor out there? It's akin to see a car mechanic who don't take care his own car. Doctor spend years in medical school, and decades teaching healthy life style – knowledge & motivation is not an issue. And since become doctor is a helluva difficult things to do, I doubt that this is a "will power" issue as well.

It's really baffled me the hate that insects get from human. Most of us despise insect and even use it as a deragotary term. Insect!! Why do we have this common hatred to this small animal? Is this come from movie and media? Or we have a primal knowledge there that we inherit from our ancestor where most of them has a bad experience with insect?

It's bloody difficult to find any decent cafe that open before 8 AM in Yogyakarta. What is going on here? Is this means that **coffee as fuel** for the working class is **not the main driver** of cafe explosions in Yogyakarta? Is it byproduct of **social media culture** where cafe focus is in it's outlook rather than it's product? This is something that puzzle and frustate me to no end. I want a good double shoot flat white in the morning. How difficult is that?
