Dear tech startup CEO's, in particular dear Indonesian tech-startup CEO's, please don't be like Soylent CEO Rob Rhinehart. Please don't become removed from reality.

...But hey if you want to be removed from reality go ahead it's a free world, but I do hope you never get to hold of any technology or company that affects the lives of any other.

Keep your crazy to yourself please, thank you.
