I'm Haris Farrasi, based in Indonesia. I'm building AksaAksa↗, an environment that helps people see clearly and act correctly.

I spent 6 years studying classical Islamic scholarship. Later, I spent 4 years studying economics at Universitas DiponegoroUniversitas Diponegoro↗. Alongside that, I spent around 7 years exploring creative direction through graphic design and video, and have been building software for the past 2 years.

I believe we need better maps to see reality clearly, because clearer perception leads to better judgment. Better judgment leads to better action, and a life is ultimately measured by what it leaves behind through narratives, artifacts, and movements.

A curated collection of principles and values that guide my work, decisions, and approach to life.

  1. The universe defaults to scarcity; the mission is to engineer sustainable abundance.
  2. Value comes only from solving real problems.
  3. Iteration beats everything. Keep cycling until reality bends.
  4. Benchmark the best. Compete with the top or die average.
  5. Leverage compounds. Always chase code, content, connection, capital, company, etc.
  6. Being a machine learner beats being smart. Curiosity compounds.
  7. Always ask your question. Find the right question to ask is key.
  8. Extreme people achieve extreme results. Work so hard it feels unnatural.
  9. Extreme discomfort means you’re exactly where you should be.
  10. It’s hard to be wildly successful at anything you aren’t obsessed with.
  11. Status quo bias is the enemy. >70% live in permanent slight suffering because they never take a big swing.
  12. Delete until nothing is left. In fact, if you don’t end up adding back at least 10%, you didn’t delete enough.
  13. Wanting to be liked is weakness. Fulfillment must come from within.
  14. Everything is sales. The teacher sells, the leader sells, the orator sells.

I'm always learning and unlearning. If you have a recommendation, please let me know.
