Rahmat Wibowo accused Sabda PS of textbook Dunning-Kruger overconfidence, claiming his Zenius test-prep success and high IQ do not qualify him to build Kampus Malaka, a university with no entrance exams, dismissing it as expensive guesswork with students' futures.

@ Dunning-kruger Blacklist: Sabda PS &
Kampus Malaka
Here's the concise version:
= Dropped out of ITB Computer Science
= Built Zenius (tutoring/edtech) > halted
operations in 2024
- Now co-founding "Kampus Malaka”: no
entrance exams,no selection,
farmers/artists/activists teaching alongside
academics
~ Publicly carries "IQ 160" label
- Claims this is the solution to Indonesia's
education problems
Core issue:
Partial success in exam tutoring + personal
frustration with structure + high general
intelligence = overconfidence that he can
redesign an entire university system from
scratch.
This is textbook peak Dunning-Kruger in
education reform:
- Experience in supplementary test prep #
competence to build and run a real degree-
granting university
- "Remove all gates” sounds bold, but
ignores why basic filters exist (preparedness,
commitment, standards)
- No proven track record at institutional level,
yet proposing radical national-scale
experiment
High IQ makes the overconfidence more
articulate, it does not make it less risky.
Bottom line:
Vision without relevant institutional
experience + evidence is not disruption. It’s
expensive guesswork with other people's
futures.
Support real education reform. Demand
pilots, data, and humility not charisma and
radical reinvention.
