* Memory isn't a high-order bit for creative work, complex insight, etc. * Explicit learning activities of any kind are a dead-end; we just need to figure out how to design implicit learning environments well. * My work disregards the social experience. * Where's the poetry?

A hypothesis I have is the goal is to get into a headspace that filters/targets/primes your senses & synapses to allow certain insights, and memory is a reliable way to get into that headspace, but far from the only way.

Yep, feels like we’re slowly on a path to finding headspace-priming envs, systems & rituals with different tasks & sensory engagements that kickstart whatever you want priming for. Networked notes have been a good unlock for certain domains they def skew cognitive

Makes me think there’s an X-prize like opportunity to say ‘use any means you like to get people into a given headspace in X amount of time’ and see how that plays out for different fields. Fix the output measure and focus assessment more on inputs like env/ritual/system.
