Good Commercials are Awesome

Nutri Sari commercial, displaying Papuan dance and Ambonese's clothings...  really make me feel good. Watched in IndoVision.
They danced in a beautiful beach, clear blue sky, clear blue water, white sand... feels really good watching the merge... it blended so well like a the taste of an exeptional gourmet food.

Commercial makers are cool. They even contribute to reduce friction of the economy.

Focus Mentality v.04

1. Empowering all people, we want to improve others' ability to solve problems, to improve everyone's ability to help, instead of reducing.

2. All problems are everybody's problem, we live in one reality, and we all are providers of solutions. Your problem is not my problem attitude is not good.

3. Prioritize to create solutions that support all solutions, mutual solutions.

Money is the root of all evil, these words might be true... as money is a guarantee that the holder has performed some help but hasn't been helped yet. Money is a status, and for the love of the status, one might overlook the consideration;

Whether or not his/her actions contributes to, or in participation with, integrated working mutual solutions.

We live in one reality, your problem is my problem too, by obeying the law, we hope to actually contribute to the solving of everyone's problems.

Love is the tendency to keep on experiencing interactions forever. Instead of loving money, lets love Love, and Love one another.

Help me

Help me they kept on putting MSG into my food. I've told them no, but they won't stop. Why am I being treated like this?

Creators of Demands v.08

Monopoly is a popular issue here in Indonesia, as after hollywood ban its products from entering Indonesia, suddenly now Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is in the theathers, another movie is also in but I forgot what it was... anyway, the importer of the Harry Potter movie, Omega Film is on the spot for having almost all the market share of Hollywood movie watchers.

The law in Indonesia is not monopoly friendly... movie importers are not allowed to form coallission with each other to control price, to have collusions with theater companies to block other importers. 

In my opinion, monopoly could be allowed as a form of reward for those who created demands in a society. Who made popular hollywood movies in Indonesia? I think they deserve rewards from the industry.

There should be an audit to know who created the demand, and there should be a law on how the rewards would be distributed. I agree with current law, I don't want lack of importers cause higher dependency to those coallisions. I don't want our society to favor mafia form of administration, as it is counter productive, and stifles creative spirits from being appreciated if they didn't support the interest of the mafia. I think creative spirits should support mutual solutions for all people, for the country, not just for the mafia, as we live in one world.

However, there should be an audit to know whether or not existing or would be existing demands are good for sustainable lifestyle, for sustainable solutions, in a community... or if not, the new products demanded should be able to replace old existing solutions in solving important problems.

I hate the idea of tyranny, I think the law should be an integrated solutions that prioritze to solve all the people's important problems, not just for tyrants and their families. I think the law that supports the life of little people promotes hope, that they too someday would be able to be providers of help for others (independently). I hope that the unity of all people as providers of solutions, not as masters and slaves, will lead to lovely lifestyle for all.

Retirement House for Police and Army

I asked a policeman whether or not there are retirement houses for their retirees, and he said no. This might be an opportunity. By having one managed by our group, we might be able to reduce frictions against our trying to be in the law.

Over innovating? v.03

Over innovation only occurs when you address problems that's not relevant. Relevance in terms of love (the tendency to keep on experiencing interactions forever).

Investment for research and development is always good, as long as you address the problem right. Know your problem, then there would be no such thing as over innovation.

Ofcourse, some specialized discipline want to associate the term "innovations" only for products made by them. This is wrong, even people from less expensive discipline could one time be more relevant than those who paid a lot for some specialized education. Know your problem, then you'll know what kind of  R&D to be prioritized.

Those who decided to specialize out of cockyness and/or necessities, not out of  their intuition, would most likely be loud and all politics. Those who had quite a bit of debt would also be loud, rigid, and scared when their services were postponed. Doesn't mean that they own innovation.

One way to reduce traffic jam in developing cities v.03

One factor of traffic jam in major cities in Indonesia is due to lack of participation with the law. This is probably because there are still quite a bit of us who didn't go through all the administration required for our driver's license. If local governments would allocate their budget to conduct an update test for all driver's license holders that have had their licenses for more than 4 years, this could really change things around.

Honestly if you drive here, people often use their immidiate instinct/intuition to solve traffic situations. Which is why in my city the rate of reported traffic violation is very high, compared to other violations:  http://makassarkota.go.id/download -> http://makassarkota.go.id/download/makassar_dalam_angka_2007.pdf -> page 209. Although I could argue that the rates may be declining over the years.

If you see page 210, you'll see that in 2006 hundreds of people lost their lives due to traffic accidents in the province of Sulawesi Selatan, where the city of Makassar is in.

The trend of acquiring driver's license "shortcutly" should not be kept. This would likely lead to more and more traffic problems in the future. You can say that we are having a monorail so it's still ok. Monorail would bring in more pedestrians into the heart of the city, the demand of mobility would increase due to increases in more diversified use of territories, for business and for residence. Therefore rather than expanding more and more streets, and took away ever highly needed pedestrian's space, why not encourage people to use the rule?
