What does "Lu Punya Duit, Lu Punya Kuasa?" mean?
I came across these two guys' videos on social media, and they appeared consistently nowadays. The guy on the left side has long hair and talks about his opinion about "If You have the money, you have the power", while the guy on the right side listens to the left guy.
I will provide you with a quick and direct video at 11:02 in the YouTube iframe below.
I don't even know why many people made jokes about that part. Although the left guy faced challenges in delivering his ideas to the audience, overall, he remained on the right track in the discussion. While some people interpreted it as a nonsensical conversation,
Netizens are sometimes right, but only in certain cases. I would disagree with them on this one. I would take this seriously. really.
What does it actually mean?
I discovered that these guys actually introduced the concept of unconscious bias, unveiling some intriguing facts.
Given the aforementioned concept, once again, the phrase "You have the money, you have the power" can be linked to the concept of unconscious bias.
Based on the left guy's opinion, he said about if people have a higher financial status, it would affect the tendency of communication. And on this perspective, when individuals possess a higher financial status, there is often a tendency for them to be perceived as having more credibility or authority. This perception can influence how their opinions and viewpoints are received and valued by others. People may unintentionally give more weight to the perspectives of those with greater financial resources, assuming that their opinions are more informed or valid simply based on their financial standing.
This dynamic can create an imbalance in the exchange of ideas and limit the voices and perspectives of individuals who do not possess the same financial level. Those with limited financial resources may find it challenging to have their opinions taken seriously or may even feel marginalized in discussions and decision-making processes.
It does not rule out the possibility that unconscious bias will affect the business decision. Netizens.
Again,
Unconscious bias refers to the biases or prejudices that individuals may hold at an unconscious level, affecting their judgments, decisions, and behavior. In the context of the phrase, it suggests that financial resources can inadvertently lead to the perception or assumption of power or authority over others, potentially contributing to biases in how individuals are treated or perceived based on their financial status. It's pretty clear that we need the awareness and examination of biases, as well as promote fairness and equality in societal interactions regardless of financial means.
Finally
Be careful, netizens. Indeed, it is valid to acknowledge that although he faced difficulty in delivering his thoughts, it does not render him nonsensical. As an audience, it is crucial for us to think twice and carefully consider our interpretations. By doing so, we open ourselves up to the possibility of learning something new and thinking outside the box.
I appreciate those guys who give the extra mile in their discussion on the 40-minute video. Keep up the good work!
Cheers.
