Tools for thought

I remember this phrase from the book by [[Howard Rheingold]] that I read a long while ago. It's coming back in to fashion with PKM tools like [[Roam]] and [[org-roam]].

It's easy to forget, but the web began as a tool for thought, and it had many of these same properties — personal, multiplayer, distributed, evolvable. It lost most of the personal and distributed aspects as it grew into an app platform. Perhaps we might carve out a bit of space for those again?

[2018-11-19] Do you guys have a personal wiki? (using org-mode or not) /r/emacs [[exobrain]] [[org]]

I think Org transcends the idea of a wiki.  What is a wiki, anyway?  Documents with links to themselves.  Org does that and much more.
For myself, I keep information in several Org files.

* Information that doesn't change much, that I need to refer to now and then, that fits in a hierarchy, goes in `reference.org`.
* Things I come across randomly that I want to record for later (e.g. web pages, snippets, quotes) goes in `cpb.org` (for commonplace book) in a datetree; I can find it later with Org search tools, including `helm-org-rifle`.
* Appointments that are independent of other entries go in `calendar.org`.
* Stuff I need to refile goes in `inbox.org`, but I'm trying to get in the habit of putting things in `cpb.org` instead of putting them in a massive inbox file, thinking that I'll refile them later; I never do, so I might as well put them in a datetree, which at least organizes them chronologically rather than a giant, flat list.
  * This includes archived web pages, which I now capture with `org-web-tools-attach-url-archive`.  Sometimes I also capture the plain-text readable parts of web pages with `org-web-tools-read-url-as-org` or directly into a capture template with `org-web-tools--url-as-readable-org`.
* Most project and task stuff goes in `main.org`.
* Personal log/journal/diary-type entries go in `log.org`.
* Transient stuff goes in `temp.org` (which is excluded from the git repo I keep Org files in).
* Things I'm working on right now and want to keep in front of me (sort of like a sticky note on a monitor) go in `now.org`, which I access and manage with `org-now`.

Hope that helps!

Remember, Org is a platform for building your own system.  Take it easy, take your time, enjoy the ride.  Emacs and Org are software for the rest of your life.

I have been using Memex for more than a year now. Here are the things that really annoy me
- occasional freezing and sudden disappearance of your bookmarks
- no real way to programmatically access your Memex database. I know they have released the storage backend, but the lack of helpful documentation is a deal-breaker.
- lack of collaborative annotation (the way Hypothesis does)
- only few results in search results!

Super important task are reminders

choose postpone length (in org?)

scheduling day: starts at 05:00, ends at 04:59. 05:00 I am most likely to sleep

postpone -> find next compatible slot

Neural network with pairs?

e.g. what conflicts with what?

to be honest, I should just check with calendar more often and it would all be fine

Might be overly conservative?

Examples:

You're going skiing to switzerland on wednesday. You bought new boots on Sunday and wore them all day. You might rub your feet so you might be unable to ski. Can we prevent it?

dentist

dentist appointment at 10 am. You are likely to get a filling which requires you not to eat or drink anything that might color it for 24 hours.
On the same day at 9pm you have a meeting with your friends at a pub. You like drinking Kriek, which definitely might color your teeth! Can we prevent such a conflict?

Local cache would definitely be the (easiest) way of solving it. Tools like Memex [0] are most of the way there.
But a text-only copy on my local device isn't great if the content had special formatting in presentation. Also, it misses out on images or embedded videos. That's where something like ArchiveBox [1] comes in.
> ArchiveBox takes a list of website URLs you want to archive, and creates a local, static, browsable HTML clone of the content from those websites (it saves HTML, JS, media files, PDFs, images and more).
But really what I'd like to see at some point is an opt-in community tool where every page I visit that fits a certain criteria (URL, topic, special mark by me, etc) is fully cloned and uploaded to IPFS [2] for anyone interested in that topic to find and use later - regardless of what happens to the source content. Definitely a host of legal issues around this, but not impossible.

Need a tool to match and highlight arbitrary text in pdf [[annotation]]

Pdfgrep? -n option prints page

Organize pdf, search for duplicates [[pkm]] [[polar]]

figure out a way to classify pdfs I have. I should mark them at the time of download, otherwise I forget [[pkm]] [[study]]

perhaps rely on file hashes/some sort of fingerprints (e.g. meta hash) ? that way I can mark it immediately
and track files in some tool

[2019-02-10] ok, maybe just make sure I always highlight interesting bits?

[2019-06-13] again, polar mostly ok

track all pdfs I ever had. in the simplest approach, just have a binding to archive it [[pkm]]

or, store the fingerprints

[2019-06-13] polar got pdfs

it has some sort of fingerprint in the state.json too
so it handles moves and renames fine
cool, the filename is just unchanged, so it only uses the fingerprint
ok, can even tag in polar as well

Guy who thought about pkm issues [[pkm]]

I have thought about these issues a lot; especially lately. With regards to being able to scrape your data or just get your data back from 3rd party's, I think that's a losing battle. You need to be in control of your data before it gets to them. Web sites and APIs are constantly changing and sometimes just disappear. This idea of polling for changes seems very brittle and would never be up to date.

What I picture is an a program that you use to store your own microblogs, blogs, contacts, comments, etc. and then you publish to whoever from that app via their API or crawling.

Imagine you just created a new microblog entry. You can now either post to your Twitter, Mastodon, etc. accounts with the click of a button. You would have to poll for replies though and it would be up to you to store them if you wished (you probably want to if you are storing your replies). As an added benefit you could see the replies in one place instead of bouncing between two sites.

The point is, when you create the data, it's yours first. Then if you want to, you can post it other places. Tools like this are abundant for businesses, but we don't seem to build tools for actual people anymore.

example/demo: enabling properties export for my blog [[elisp]] [[toblog]]

found that answer in google
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7607/export-properties-blocks-with-org-mode

suggests looking at org-export-with-properties

ok, SPC j v org-export-with-properties

ends up at ox.el

select org-export-with-properties and SPC RET for swoop 1

swoop through, nothing

SPC s d for directory search

aha! ox-publish.el

and finally swoop to org-export–skip-p in ox.el
so apparently it sets property-drawer and calls something else with the context?
SPC s d – aha, bunch of files including ox-html!

(property-drawer . org-html-property-drawer)

and we finally found the guilty party

then you build a graph based on the property. your notes aren't scattered across the filesystem that way
now and then you can overview the notes based on this property and merge them if necessary
or maybe it's a thing enclosed in {}? but then it's tricky to process by org-mode
org maybe [] anchor?

[2019-05-19] modifying reading stats (number of books read and hours read)? - MobileRead Forums

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212875 

For events 1, 36, 52 and 79 there seem to be only one row.

There are some inconsistencies. Both events 46 and 80 count page turns, but they don't match. The count for 80 is always less than for 46. It is possible that 46 is counting screens and 80 page numbers. The value for 46 is what is on the stats screen for the current book.

When I have looked at ExtraData, it tends to be made up of a series of timestamps. I suspect that for events like 1020 and 1021, it is a list of the times when the event occurred. The pairs from the two events might be used to calculate the minutes per session and hours read. The only problem with that, is that the counts don't match for the book I am currently reading. I am confident of the meaning of the events, but there seems to be occasions when the close is not recorded.

[2019-05-16] New tool: KM for digital collections/structured data /r/knowledgemanagement

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a new knowledge management tool called [Gist](https://www.gistapp.com), for exploring data visually and adding context to digital collections.
Full disclosure—I'm the founder. Gist is a spin-off from [Schema](https://www.schemadesign.com), a data visualization design firm based in Seattle. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the tool—whether you think it would be useful, and how you would best describe it. Since it spans so many usecases, from KM for internal teams to "memory organizations" (museums, libraries, archives) and research organizations, finding a way to describe it to all audiences has been an interesting challenge.
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

[2020-04-26] How to annotate literally everything | beepb00p

Nice work! However it is possible to search through annotations using emacs pdf-tools, actually the search and filter functions are quite powerful in the annotation tablist, but you need to show contents first in the tablist buffer by customizing the pdf-annot-list-format variable (more info is found in issue 553: https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/553). The annotation tablist functionality is more or less only documented in its major-mode info. The code for the search function posted in that issue works nice also (actually it works better than searching via the tablist because there is a bug in the tablist search as mentioned in the comments of that issue).

Additionally I read that you don't like to use the mouse to add annotations. With the code in the pdf-avy-highlight.el file in this repository: https://github.com/dalanicolai/dala-emacs-lisp it is possible to highlight text and add comments (if you set to open them automatically by toggling the Pdf Annot Activate Created Annotations to "on" in the pdf-annot group in the customization menu) with only the keyboard using avy. You should should add your own shortcut for it (the one in the file is for use in Spacemacs). Unfortunately it does not work more conveniently than using the mouse. But I just like to point out the possibilities and versatility of emacs and pdf-tools...

A super clean organization system does not actually help us retain knowledge. Rather, such system requires so much maintenance effort that it subverts the very thing that it promises to do–help us learn–. I ended up expanding an exorbitant amount of time managing tags, keywords, and hierarchy of data that I may never even retrieve. All in all, organizing knowledge should never become the goal when building a personal knowledge base. [[pkm]] [[toblog]]

 > You never forget the best times, the rest is unimportant
Empirically untrue, sadly. From reminiscing with friends, it's clear that both they and I have forgotten some of the best times, since I remember some of the best times and have forgotten others, and vice versa. I can remember that I had quite a bit of fun during the late eighties, but the vast majority of the detail is gone. When I've written down decade-old memories and looked at them a decade after that, it really, really often happens that I'm disturbed at how differently I remembered that event when I was halfway closer to it than now. Human memory is so sketchy and malleable that it's just barely useful at all. :(

[2020-01-30] Build the ultimate personal knowledge management system /r/productivity [[pkm]]

Hi, thanks for that detailed comment and all the resources you linked! It'll take some time to look at all of them and transfer your knowledge to this project.
So I'm focused on developing Frontends, but I asked a friend who is very strong in building backends. We agreed that we have to try to develop a modern version org-mode with all the features we need.
Something like [https://remotestorage.io/](https://remotestorage.io/)  what [kureshii](https://www.reddit.com/user/kureshii/) mentioned. The base idea is to build a system based on Microservices which will be specialized in certain tasks, like file formats. But all of the services will be available through one unified API. And everybody can decide how they want to consume the data, we'll provide a JS Client Side Libary. E.g. I want a dedicated Notes and ToDo app, but also something an app to organize projects where I can See notes and todo lists in relation to a project. And due to the fact that everything will be Open Source everybody can build their own Microservice, eg to add a service to make iCloud files available.
And it'll be easy to set up because everything will be dockerized and hopefully up with only one command. And maybe in the long term we can think about a hosted version because I think that should be service everybody not only IT people should use. Yes, you lose the freedom to have everything on the server you want, but at least you have a centralized backup of all your data. And one of our focus topics will be an easy export function as markdown and if you want you could automize this to a 3rd party solution. But that's a long way to go :)
Due to the interest, I created a new Twitter account: [https://twitter.com/The\_Minerva\_](https://twitter.com/The_Minerva_)  and already a GitHub Org [https://github.com/Minerva-Development](https://github.com/Minerva-Development) .
I would be happy if we could stay in contact :)
Thank you!

PS: Yes we may reinvent the wheel, but we'll use what is already there, at least concepts and specs :)

[2020-01-30] Digital Tools I Wish Existed | Hacker News [[pkm]]

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21659876 

What I see missing is an ecosystem of interoperable tools.
It would be great if I could have a location/format in which all my digital knowledge is stored. And then be able to use different tools which support multiple processes/flows:

- a flow for discovering content
- a flow for archiving the highlights I take on the web
- a flow for writing notes

it would be great if I could change any tool while keeping the flow intact.
The only thing that somehow mirrors this is Evernote + Readwise + IFTT. There are tons of integrations that allow you to populate Evernote from tweets, Highly, Kindle highlights, etc. What I would love is if I could easily swap Evernote with any other editor (e.g. Bear) without changing much.
I wouldn't mind paying for these tools I would just like this personal knowledge software to work in a way in which you can natively add blocks/functionality to it. Most of them have huger vendor lock in.

interesting approah; "content discovery flow" seems like a good post title?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21653923 [[pkm]] [[annotation]]

Yes, this siloing stops me from using annotation features "native" to each app and format as such as well.
Instead, I prefer to exfiltrate information from the silos(apps, formats, etc) and put them into my note taking system. Then I can do highlights, annotations, etc. on my own terms and also get the benefits of centralization such as searching and linking(the OP has another post describing their own system, which is pretty cool[1]). Currently I'm using Notion, which is also a silo of its own, but it's one that gives me a lot of control over how I lay my information out(and an escape plan from).
There are a lot of perspectives on this issue with data silos and walled gardens. But I'm of the opinion that it's a fairly bad state for all of us "end users". Computers to me are about infinite flexibility and malleability, but ironically the tools we have for annotation and remixing are in practice worse than what we have in the physical world. Reading a book in the physical world, I can converse with the author simply by jotting marginalia with my pencil. It's fluid, intuitive, and the medium of paper encourages it(in fact it can't help but be mutated by my use!: pages get bended, stained, torn, etc.). If I want to go further I can add post-it notes to mark interesting passages, I can xerox some pages and create subsections, if it's a magazine I can just tear them all out! That kind of flexibility just isn't available on a computer.
I think it's worth thinking really hard why we're in this state, especially since computing pioneers were actually very optimistic that data and computing would be way more personally malleable than it is now(I've been working on a small comic on this theme myself[2]). For example, check out this short demo[3] of Smalltalk where Alan Kay hooks up a single frame from an animation of a bouncing ball to a painting program, to modify that one frame while also monitoring the loop. Smarter than paper, but way more flexible.

Agree with your sentiment. Contextuality and Applicability are definitely two main components when it comes to knowledge acquisition.

[2021-01-03] Ask HN: What Do You Think? | Hacker News

The problem (IMHO) around notes, scheduling, and productivity apps is that they have only subset of features that a given user needs. User workflows are very unique and diverse. Some may prefer calendar integration, some may not. Others may prefer inline image support while some only require text. The examples are endless. It seems inevitable that a note/scheduling/productivity app can only bloat user experience while being in the infinite race to onboard features their users/competitors demand.

It's even more ambiguous at this point, given the useless new 'BERT' NLP system used for generating results-- it routinely ignores terms from the query, even ones with obvious semantic importance, so results are often entirely irrelevant to the complete requested term set.

need "NEXT" todo entry? this would mean I need to actively act on something? [[pkm]]

[[How Do We Define Tools for Thinking and Why Do They Matter?]]

[[Inflection Points for Tools for Thinking]]

  • [[john borthwick]]
  • #push [[readwise]]
  • [[john borthwick]] where do you see us by the end of the decade?
    • belief that there will be a lot of change in this space
    • when they started, [[evernote]] was the most popular request -- that's changed a lot since then
    • on a macro level
    • why did [[evernote]] get stuck?
      • they nailed the [[consumer]] use case, never were able to do [[enterprise]] like [[notion]] did
        • that held them back relative to notion
      • they got very distracted in the middle of the growth, they were developing a [[recipe app]]
      • they fumbled their way
    • one of the promises of the internet:
      • you can just build anything, no need to ask for permission (if you have the basic resources, etc.)
      • [[notion]] raised VC, a million or two before going mainstream
      • [[roam]] raised very little before really growing
      • #push [[readwise]] didn't want to raise any money, unsure of the venture scale
        • started charging a monthly fee for a consumer product (shock! :)), now can support a small team
        • [[bootstrapped]]
      • if you don't have the enterprise use case and are consumer based instead, it's unclear how sustainable you can be a priori (-> in the current landscape; but that might be ripe for a change, enough people want a way out of walled gardens, want a choice.)
    • [[q&a]]
      • [[anki]] for writing?
        • have been exploring something, dogfood
        • [[theme reviews]]
        • some people do this:
        • [[repeat]]
          • you can get to 80% of the work fast this way
      • how does this compare to [[gpt-3]] generation? asker feels that AI based suggestions aren't really that great
        • can't speak about better/worse, but for some people this might feel easier
    • [[core thesis for ai]]
      • the AI can't be the product
      • you won't print an essay ghost written by [[gpt-3]]
        • -> yet? what about the recent paper that was written by [[gpt-3]], and for which they got first [[authorship]]?
    • [[john borthwick]] many silos enforcing separation between ideas; also a risk of being fascinated by the technology or the tool
      • [[jerry michalski]] is a good example of focusing on the thoughts, on the information, going beyond the [[tool]]
      • it feels like the space has gone [[mainstream]] now
    • [[audio]]?
      • grown a lot in audio
      • 15-20% a year (check?)
      • transforming audio to a block or a highlight: there are early attempts, podcasting [[air]] or [[snipped]] (?)
      • not a seamless experience
    • [[uncanny valley]]
      • [[transcripts]] almost at human level but not quite
      • but it seems like [[text to speech]] and [[speech to text]] can be assumed to be coming, you can probably assume that transcripts for everything will be available
    • #push [[amazon]]
      • one company is controlling ebooks and is making it hard to innovate (if I got that right?)
    • bet: innovation more likely either on [[podcast]] side or [[text to speech]]
    • [[john borthwick]] the downsides of [[silos]]
    • #q over the last n years the [[tools for thought]] space has been changing; how has usage of your tool changed with that?
      • started with [[srs]]
      • started with [[kindle]] highlights, disentangling and making useful
      • there was a period when people thought they would do anything in a particular tool, like [[roam]]
        • people were trying to get everything into [[roam]]: putting documents in blocks there to be able to annotate them.
        • that has [[cooled down]]
      • at some point they asked: what's the number one feature we need to implement to actually make money, charge for it?
        • [[evernote]] was the first big one, that would not be the case before
      • [[tweet threads]]
        • the user of [[twitter]] has helped advance the space
    • #q if you did [[enterprise]], what would you do?
      • [[consumer vs enterprise]]
      • enterprise is in the back of their minds, but it's not currently core
      • enterprise saas is a great business model though, but there's not as clear an enterprise vision for now
    • #q on [[information density]] are people reading slower? it takes twice as long to listen than to read
      • attention is more often split when listening
      • less information absorbed when people are listening
      • are you able to unplug and read for, say, 20 minutes?
      • "throw all your technology away, go into a cottage and read paper"
        • the problem can probably be solved this way, but that's not feasible actually
        • "fight technology with technology"
        • maybe it's good to be able to read on your smartphone, how do you accomplish that?
        • [[emergent reading]] (?)
    • #q it seems you're in the position of [[owning the plumbing]]: can you lean into that, are you blocked by the players in this space?
  • [[john borthwick]] on the [[knowledge blob]]: it should be transportable
    • they had to come up with their own core abstractions when developing their reading app.
    • why don't we build on top of a [[block]] architecture]]?
    • "like it was the fashion at the time" :)
      • metaphor from user feedback: no, it doesn't really work, it's too soupy (?)
      • it felt "too liquid"
      • how to turn [[fluid thoughts]] into [[coherent text]]
      • [[document]] ~ [[doc]]
        • you have [[blocks]] and [[docs]]
        • imagine your thoughts being injected into a doc
      • meaning exchange for [[knowledge blobs]]
        • annotation
        • highlight
        • notes that you take while reading
      • when you want to read a 120 tweet thread, you actually want to see that as a [[document]] that you can [[annotate]] as a whole
  • #q on the toolchain aspect of the [[plumbing]]: love how you can jump from tool to tool. How much effort do you put into customizing the ingestion engines? On the Enterprise side: would love [[readwise]] for [[slack]] :)
  • #q Use cases in education; have you been thought about getting involved with schools? Have you thought about the impact of adoption by students who could be forced to use it? :)
    • Education just hasn't been something they've been successful at, haven't found a way to penetrate that field.

[[Demo: Protocol Design for Tools for Thinking]]

[[The History and Future of Software as Tools for Thinking]]

  • (missed the first minute)
  • [[jerry michalski]] with [[howard rheingold]]
    • how do communities work? how do we get smarter humans?
    • pass the floor
    • (split screen with [[jerry's brain]])
  • [[howard rheingold]]
  • [[jerry michalski]]
  • #q [[jerry michalski]] what from the original vision has worked (and maybe we take for granted) and what hasn't (yet)?
    • materialized:
      • pointing and clicking
      • multimedia
    • shared notebook for people working on projects was part of the original demo
    • tried going with [[organizations]] where these tools didn't work out, but the vision was as follows
    • #push [[works]]
      • [[a work]]
        • service or product that your enterprise created
      • [[b work]]
        • part of the enterprise that works on improving ability to create that product
      • [[c work]]
        • #push [[agora]]
          • improving your ability to improve
      • vision of [[c work]] done as [[skunkworks]], introducing innovation to [[b work]] sections
    • vision was an [[integrated toolkit]]
    • note taking apps, rapid learning apps
  • #q [[howard rheingold]] do you think of the brain as a way to think or a tool? (check?)
    • Jerry thinks of it as [[photoshop]] for ideas
    • (Demo bridging several nodes to [[cholera]].)
    • Putting all nodes side by side in a single tool (interface) is instrumental.
    • thebrain's flexibility is one of the most attractive factors.
    • [[howard rheingold]] it externalizes your memory
      • [[the magic number 7]]
      • offloading leading going to higher levels of abstraction
      • thinking visually w.r.t. the network of connections leads to a new framework of thought that would be otherwise difficult to hold in our minds at once
    • -> Howard wrote books before some of these tools; his office was plastered with papers and notes
      • Stacks of notes that could be moved around.
      • Ability to externalize was there; the ability to think with symbolic items.
    • [[jerry michalski]]
      • [[expressive capacity]]
      • different tools have different expressive capacity
      • when [[cad]] was new, it lacked a lot of the features it has now
      • when [[shopping for a tool]], it's hard to figure out which features we need a priori
      • some tools are very workflow opinionated, very rigid
        • e.g. tools that enforce color coding
  • #q [[jerry michalski]] you set out to explore these tools and report back; what did you learn from your journeys?
  • #q [[jerry michalski]] on the problem of assigning truth values (paraphrasing, check)
    • daughter started using search engines to do homework
    • had to explain that up until now when teachers assigned a book, there were a number of authorities participating in that assignment (and could potentially act as gatekeepers)
    • technology is advancing so fast that [[fake info]] risks becoming uncontrollable
    • who do you [[trust]]? can you adopt their lists (adopt their trust)?
    • [[sift]] if you're trying to check the veracity of that webpage, get off that webpage
      • search name of the author for example
      • -> metadata overlay for the web? provided by [[hypothes.is]], [[noosphere]], [[agora]]
    • [[jerry michalski]]
      • #push [[fellowship of the link]]
        • remembers asking questions on (forum name missing)
        • a maybe nicer/simpler time, but points at potential
  • #q On [[misinformation]]/disinformation. Politically: what's your view on the human mind itself, thinking of it as self-reinforcing loops? if you have a personal belief and you may or may not reinforce it.
    • [[confirmation bias]]: more attuned to evidence that supports what we already believe
    • the role of emotion and [[attachment]]
    • don't know the answer to how to solve these tensions
    • how to pull in the right people into the right discussions/contexts
    • human prejudices which keep us from learning things that we have not been yet trained to learn
      • doesn't mean we won't discover ways to work around that
    • we have to think of the strong connections between artifacts, language, metodology, training as they enable us to understand the psychology of the individual and the group
    • [[experts on the well]] (sp?) is still around
    • #push [[agora]]
  • [[jerry michalski]]
    • case: [[blair]] (sp?) scribbling all posts in the [[well]] before suicide :(
  • #q is there a place for [[authority figures]] without going back to [[gatekeeping]]
  • #q (missed the gist of question about tools for thought, check)
    • [[howard rheingold]] standard psychological tests with people and substituted a computer or cartoon rendition of a person or a computer voice: people attribute human qualities to things that computers do
    • we have not evolved to make a distinction between synthetic and organic voices
    • understanding our limitations can lead to working around them
    • one problem with teaching critical thinking:
      • if you teach questioning authority, they will question:
        • teachers
        • family
        • schools
        • governments
        • ...and they tend not to like that :)
      • when do you teach it? is elementary school too early?
  • #q [[michael]] thank you for your book. Two pieces to the description earlier of analog thinking extension: (...). How do those map, or not, to digital tools?
    • experiments with new interfaces
      • move blocks around and change the computer landscape
    • book: [[the extended mind]]
      • there's a lot of research that shows that teachers who use gestures are more effective teachers
      • our bodies and how we manipulate forms in space communicate a way of thinking
    • [[jerry michalski]] sometimes a computer can slow you down and ask: how are you feeling right now? there's many processes (e.g. somatic) ongoing; slowing down and becoming mindful can help you become aware of them.
      • physiological responses to new information.
      • can we find that moment and call it out? offer a chance to slow down then, going deeper?
    • [[jerry michalski]] there are people who are aware of their heartbeat and people who aren't
      • stock brokers: people who are aware of their heartbeat make better financial decisions (I think; the stream cut out for 10s)
  • #q what's the more psychoactive experience you've had with a computer?
    • [[howard rheingold]] talked way into [[xerox parc]], got access to an [[alto]] computer with a [[5mb]] hard disk
      • being able to move a paragraph around without retyping a page (!)
      • "it was [[blissful]]" :D
      • "it was not just a way to manipulate information, I could think better with it"
    • computer programming does this with abstraction
    • what people did early online, late 1980s, people took psychedelics and chatted online
    • took [[lsd]] again at some point, put on [[google earth]] and had a realization that what [[google]] was doing was building an [[ai]]
  • #q what do you think about [[tools for thought]] for modeling, simulations
    • (had to context switch but this sounded interesting)
    • [[betterverse]]
