Selamat Menabur, Selamat Menuai

  Pernahkah Anda mendengar mitologi Yunani tentang Icarus? Ia diberi sayap berlapis lilin oleh ayahnya untuk terbang membebaskan diri dari labirin. Namun, keangkuhan membuatnya mengabaikan peringatan dan terbang terlalu dekat dengan matahari. Sayap lilinnya meleleh, lalu ia jatuh terjerembab ke dasar lautan. Plot klasik semacam ini seolah sedang tayang ulang di panggung birokrasi kita, memancing senyum getir sekaligus perenungan mendalam. Aktor yang tengah menjadi sorotan utamanya? Dadan Hindayana. ​Mari kita putar sedikit rekam jejaknya. Dadan bukanlah tipikal politisi berwajah dingin yang sejak muda kenyang makan asam garam pemerintahan. Ia adalah seorang akademisi tulen, pakar ekologi serangga alias entomolog dari Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB). Ia juga pernah mengabdi sebagai Ketua Sekolah Tinggi Pertanian dan Kewirausahaan (STPK) Banau di Halmahera Utara. Logikanya, sehari-hari beliau sibuk meneliti perilaku serangga agar panen petani terselamatkan. Namun, entah plot twist m...

Competence is More Than Knowing 'How'—It's Understanding 'Why' and 'When' in the Age of AI ​We have all seen it. The chef trying so hard, using the wrong tool, the wrong technique, and getting more and more frustrated with each attempt. He's trying to do a basic part of his job—igniting a wok—but failing miserably. ​This isn't just a funny video from a kitchen. It's a powerful metaphor for competence in the modern workplace. ​In today's landscape, saturated with emerging technologies and AI, we are seeing a shift in the definition of "competence." It's no longer enough to just know how to perform a task. If all you offer is basic, rote competence, your skill will soon be a commodity. AI will do it faster, cheaper, and often better. ​The true definition of competence has shifted from "knowing the steps" to "understanding the fundamental principles, the nuance, and the 'why' behind the steps." ​Look at ...

Lebih Ngeri dari Skandal Bansos COVID-19? Membongkar Sisi Gelap Mega-Proyek Makan Bergizi Gratis

Masih lekat di ingatan kita bagaimana kelamnya skandal korupsi Bantuan Sosial (Bansos) COVID-19. Di saat rakyat sedang meregang nyawa dan kesulitan ekonomi akibat pandemi, hak rakyat miskin dipotong Rp 10.000 per paket sembako oleh elit kekuasaan.[1, 2] Kita marah, kecewa, dan mengutuk kejahatan kemanusiaan tersebut. ​Namun, mari kita tarik napas sejenak. Hari ini, di depan mata kita, sedang bergulir sebuah mega-proyek yang punya potensi kerusakan struktural dan kerugian negara jauh lebih masif: Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) . ​Di atas kertas dan di layar kaca, narasi yang dibangun sangatlah mulia: mengentaskan stunting, menciptakan generasi emas, dan investasi sumber daya manusia. Tapi, benarkah semulia itu? Jika kita berani membedah arsitektur anggaran, menelusuri rantai pasok logistik, hingga melihat siapa aktor-aktor yang bermain di balik layar dapur umum, kita akan menemukan realitas yang cukup membuat bulu kuduk berdiri. ​Mari kita bongkar satu per satu mengapa program in...

Deceptive but Truthful: Is it Possible?

The Question is Raised This may sound like an oxymoron, however in light of the previous article, “Statement Analysis Put to the Test, a Case Study”, I felt this question should be addressed. With this statement – Deceptive but Truthful – I am raising the question; If a statement is found to have many indications of deception, does that mean that the event reported did not happen ? The answer is NO!

Questions of Answers

Newborns come with questions; new parents are barraged with them. The infant may not be doing the asking at first, but in their own way their voice is heard and the questions pour forth. Why is he crying? What does he need? How do I do this? Of course, it's not long before the voice shifts and it is the child asking, the parent barraged with questions in a different way. Whether or not a kid is the type whose inquisitive nature leaves her parents exhausted, children as a rule seem to come with questions included. 

Why People Avoid the Truth About Themselves

Knowledge may be power, but when it comes to self-knowledge, ignorance is bliss.
