Alright Tools for thought, note taking, and zettelkasten nerds. Anyone want to take a guess at who this philosopher is and what that is up on the shelf behind him? Hint: it’s not Roam Research or Obsidian.

Wouldn’t you know that just as I finish a book club session on How to Take Smart Notes, the second revised edition is released…
There’s something ouroboros-like in the nounification of the verb verbify into the word verbification.
I just couldn’t wait for a physical copy of The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders Read the Stars by Duane Hamacher, Ghillar Michael Anderson, Ron Day, Segar Passi, Alo Tapim, David Bosun and John Barsa (Allen & Unwin, 2022) to arrive in the US, so I immediately downloaded a copy of the e-book version.

I’ve got lots of stuff to say, I’m just saving it all up.

Do you suppose she’s using a zettelkasten or simply “stacking ammo” like Eminem?

For those who’ve been waiting for it to show up, the digitized version of box 9 of Niklas Luhmann’s second zettelkasten is now available online. It contains many of his notes on the zettelkasten itself.

Are there any extant tools for thought or personal knowledge management tools that autogenerate a user-facing index of all internal [[wikilinks]]?
Are there any extant tools for thought or personal knowledge management tools that have semantic link relationship affordances with respect to metadata?
Taking a moment to send a warm thank you to all the work (both visible and invisible) that Dr. Martha S. Jones and her lab are doing for the Johns Hopkins Community and far beyond. Where ever you live, I heartily recommend their newsletter Hard Histories at Hopkins.

To realize the potential power of your zettelkasten, you need to be able to reuse your notes.
After I make a photo of the post, I can add the date/time stamp and any other meta data, and keep the original handwritten copy for later uses.
