The present economic crises induced by covid pandemic have called our attention to
reconsider where we are heading as a global community; because as we know with
the emergence of ubiquitous Internet, then the world has become a global village in
real sense.. Shall we lend ourselves to directive and -at times- insistence to move to
new economy called the industrial revolution 4.0? Or is there another way, even if it
seems like a less traveled path for now? In this article, we also re-introduce Pancasila
from Indonesian weltanschauung (fundamental tenets) to become one of these less
travelled path available at our table. The essence of the Indonesian Five Principles
(Pancasila) is to return to spirit of communal values, but in a peaceful way, not via
revolution. That is a path that in Indonesia, is called as “gotong royong” (or to put it
in a more scientific term: cooperative collective dynamics).
