I had a fun conversation with about tools for thought, knowledge work, books, and so on. Listen in if you like! breaker.audio/venture-storie
Conversation
Wanted to quickly check it out and stayed for the whole 47 minutes. A lot of great insights! Guess I'll move on to the paper you released 🙂

That was a great podcast!
When I was a student, 10 years ago, I had a revelation about how I’d think I’d changed through reading books, but when someone asked about it, couldn’t clearly articulate the learning.

I was interested to hear you describe this too – the first time I’ve heard anyone else say quite the same thing about learning styles and memory.

I'm a regular Anki user- revolutionised my life. But I can see it's only partial, it's easy to have memory without understanding. I would like to see each new card or term visually integrate into a map of the existing cards/terms so that a network or branches can be seen

Then I could see where the new card or term fits into the existing web. Currently, super atomised facts suffer from not being connectable. I'd like to answer the atomised leaf, then see the tree.

When you say "zettelkasten like note systems have you do a linear search for connections, that gets exponentially more expensive as your note body grows", I think you actually search your brain for connections, not the whole body of notes.

I think what happens is your brain automatically filters by what's hot at that point in time. The good thing about the zettelkasten is, once you've reached that note you'll see others you had forgotten😊
