Yes. But I concluded that the underlying ideas are too nascent, and that I want to develop them much more before spending time spreading them. May run workshops/classes in the meantime, but the point will be to help me understand, not to teach.

To put it another way: I’ll want to work on spreading a given computer-supported thinking idea once I feel it's clearly enabled important work on the margin. Before then, feels too navel-gaze-y / “lifehacker”-y. Better to focus on honing and testing the ideas themselves.

I certainly agree with both those points! I write short, focused notes (typically < 200 words)—that’s part of the practice—but navigating will feel meandering. They’re not written to be easy for you to read; they’re what you get before I’ve written an essay, rather than nothing!

Do you ever find you need to change or refactor a bunch of your notes when your beliefs on some topic changes? eg. if you change your "Evergreen notes" note based on significant updates to your beliefs about them, that could affect a bunch of other notes which reference it

Interesting. Do you have a sense of whether this process will continue working once your notes span many years or decades? Like it could turn out that keeping your notes consistent across your beliefs could take so long that doing so actually impedes progress.
