• clocks moved one hour earlier, gained back 1h -- happy about that, needed extra rest
• met [[silicon jungle]]
• thought of [[ankostis]]
  • there are git pull conflicts for their garden, should discuss to understand what's going wrong
• [[project snapshot]]
  • [[push]] [[session manager]]
    • I'd love for the Agora to offer tools to make a universal (cross platform, cross device) session manager; a tool that saves and restores mental contexts expressed computationally.
• updating to ubuntu 21.04 on my [[flancia]] laptop
  • I hope I'll be able to go pipewire-only then
  • this worked on my other laptop

    • [[meta]] here I'd love for the Agora to automatically fetch and link the Mastodon URL for the same resource. I could do this by hooking up moa.party to the Agora, but I think a better approach is probably universal: if the user crossposts, the Agora could perform a search for the matching resource and do this job without bridge-specific [[implementation details]].

On [[2021-11-1]] everything changed. Part of you woke up in [[Flancia]] and never left it again.

• I stumbled on [[Gordon Brander]]'s newsletter - https://subconscious.substack.com/ - and have been poring through it. Some great thoughts on [[tools for thought]].
  • Seems very [[IndieWeb]] in spirit. Plus [[tools for conviviality]], [[commons]]. Also [[Conversation theory]], [[Systems thinking]].
• [[Tools for thought and conversation theory]]

We often talk about knowledge as if it is a storable commodity. We gain, gather, and transfer knowledge, share knowledge artifacts, build knowledge graphs.

Conversation Theory takes another view. It sees knowledge as conversational. Knowledge exists subjectively in our minds, and is constructed through conversation with others

– [[Notes are conversations across time]]

A conversation can happen between yourself and yourself, across time, through the notes your past self took for your future self. An autopoietic system where information time travels between your future and past self in a meaningful cybernetic loop.

• Sorted out the issue with case-sensitive org-roam completion - it was not actually an org-roam thing. (setq completion-ignore-case t).

• [[Tarot for thought]]

• "[[Capture-organize-synthesize]] is like those glasses from They Live — when you look through this lens, it suddenly becomes clear that many of our creative tools are backwards or broken!"

  • Some golden stuff here on how existing tools get these wrong - [[Unconscious R&D]]

• I worry a bit that the tools for thought space tilts towards an individualistic outlook, e.g. 'how can I accumulate knowledge to monetise my Substack newsletter'. Even the [[collective knowledge management]] from the VC-backed offerings has a 'knowledge as capital' feel. Let's not let that happen and make sure all this is [[liberatory technology]], yes?
