True story. When I first learned about core dumps in unix like 25y ago, the idea fascinated me so much, I started ouse "core dump" as the central node label for my regular mind maps.

Since then, whenever I sit down for a mind-mapping session I make a "core dump" mind map. I dump everything on my mind down, and then that creates enough cache and RAM space to actually think about something else.

But mind-mapping (and general open-ended notes dumping) have been getting less frequent over the years, and radically less frequent recently. Used to be I'd dump 20p of notes almost daily, including a core-dump and maybe 1-2 other mind maps.
Now it's 3-4mo between sessions.

I think a scary thing has happened. I CAN'T CORE DUMP ANYMORE! I can't dump what's on my mind because it's NOT all in MY mind anymore. Eeeeeyikes.

The CAP Theorem monster has eaten my brain. I don't see an easy way out. advocates one solution, recentralizing your brain, but I think that means giving up the thoughts you think in leaky distributed media that are too much work to capture, as in my thread just now.

Maybe this explains why I rarely save anything from twitter in my bored. It’s like a different frequency or half life or something

yeah I just did a thread about why it's fundamentally lossy (can't link because with protected tweets you can't link)
