This is radically cheaper than taking notes which requires some immediate sensemaking. But it’s not efficient predictive processing. I don’t primarily store violations of expectations to improve predictability. It’s more random.

Second brain is for processing and digesting and turning into output.https://twitter.com/abhinavkej/status/1313577043112546305 …

Often recall-use events are their own reward. Long-arc callbacks are fun for no reason other than being long. I do this in twitter replies whenever I can. Serves no real purpose, but fun to throw people off balance by pointing to an interaction weeks or months ago. Memory stunt.

The only practical use I know of is to impress interviewers. Most people have like 1-minute memory in live conversations. 20+ minutes callbacks look like genius. Iirc sheep on,y have ~20min short-term memory.

With a few cue notes, my near-total conversational recall memory lasts about a week (so the most I can delay writing up proper meeting notes is about 4-5 days adher which there is sharp degradation).

For long-term stuff, what sticks shapes and constrains what I think, not the other way around. I kinda live in the light-cone of my unconscious memory. I don’t really journal or practice any other comprehensive capture habits, which is why the Roam daily note model is not for me.

What do you feel is the use of your second brain then, given this?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I mean, that's how libraries work, right? Manguel's Library at Night examines this. Flawed, but some interesting stuff therein. "Unconscious" of any data archive is critical to its character, working w/it is why you need librarians and/or library systems. + you might find Atocha

I've always loved browsing section of libraries where the librarians put a selection of books sometimes with a theme or sometimes just a mix of new books, underloved books, popular books, etc. Many times the most interesting ideas aren't the ones you're looking for. Serendipity.
