[[Definition]]

• Inserting wikilinks into quotes is
  • the practice of inserting [[wikilink]]s into [[direct quotation]]s.

[[Proposition]]s

• Proposition 1: [[Inserting wikilinks into quotes]] is [[beneficial]] for [[personal knowledge management]].
  • Date of creation: [[2022-01-22]]
  • Quotes are from https://zettelkasten.de/posts/dont-rely-on-source-have-faith-in-yourself/
  • [[Argument]]ation:
    • A seemingly common [[principle]] among [[Zettelkastener]]s is the [[principle of interpretation over collection]].
      • [[Ocurrence]]s:

        • Not the text as a stimulus itself, but the thoughts it inspired are important and worth keeping. Original texts are worthless by themselves besides the point of becoming sources of potentially stimulating moments for their reader, which is: you.

          Reading is a constructivist activity: information has to be created from data available. This implies that a creator is required, adding his or her own touch to it. It’s your job to make sense of a text, to create information, and to take note of it, because your own interpretation is all that counts.

      • [[Justification]]s of [[principle of interpretation over collection]]:
        • It helps avoiding [[collector's fallacy]].
          • which is justified by
            • it forces one to already [[work]] on a source before actually collecting it.
        • It is a form of [[selection]]
          • which entails
            • it is a form of [[data compression]].

              • This produces far better results, because a note you wrote yourself is tailored to your own patterns of thought, making it easier to work with it in the future. Your own notes require less energy when you read and make sense of them than re-visiting the original source would.

            • it is a form of [[filtering]].

        • The content of our thoughts thus depends on the filter of our brain. Our sub-consciousness can process things in the background and hand surprise insights to us, but it doesn’t think. Only our consciousness contains thoughts.

          • which is refuted by
            • [[Thought is not consciousness]].

        • From there it follows that information is not a property of things in the world. Instead, information is part of our interpretation.

          • whose [[validity]] is limited by
            • [[Mikhail Bakhtin]]'s [[polyphony]] and [[dialogism]]
              • [[Personal knowledge management]] is [[isomorphic]] to [[commoning]]. [[Personal knowledge base]]s (such as [[Zettelkasten]]s, [[commonplace book]]s and [[digital garden]]s) are [[isomorphic]] to [[commons]].
                • A [[commons]] is polyphonic.
            • [[Speech act]]s
            • [[Interpretation]]s from [[locutor]]s are conveyed through their [[message]]s.
              • Our [[interpretation]] is not neccessarily the best one.
                • Our [[compression algorithm]] is not neccessarily the most [[efficient]].
                • Our [[filter]]s do not neccessarily select what we intend them to.
                • Sometimes, it is beneficial to undergo [[destitution subjective]].
                • [[Multiple voices are better than one]]
        • It helps integrating new [[information]] with existing information.
      • [[Limitation]]s of the [[validity]] of [[principle of interpretation over collection]]:
        • The need to efficiently select [[information]] makes it possible that:
          • The best [[compression algorithm]]/[[filter]] is the one we've [[source]]d [[ipsi letteris]], and not the one we create through the [[interpretation]]/[[paraphrasis]] of the source.
            • which conflicts with
              • the [[integration]] of new [[information]] with old information.
              • which can be solved by
                • striving a [[balance]] between the [[structure]] of the new piece of [[information]] and the structure of the existing information
                  • which, in a [[digital personal knowledge base]], can be achieved by
                    • [[atomic quotation]]
                    • [[inserting wikilinks into quotes]]
                  • which solves
                    • [[cacophony of voices]]
