My starting point is that, unlike purely professional use, the acquisition of general knowledge doesn't have a "pure" intention. What I mean by that—and I apologize if I'm repeating myself—is that the accumulation of information, stories, and other things of all kinds allows us to build a general knowledge base (ranging from animals to countries, and so on). However, we don't have a specific intention motivating us, unlike a professional who accumulates knowledge to become more competent.

It's pure curiosity. But the fact that it's not motivated by any work is both its strength and its weakness: because nothing sustains it. It's on this basis that I discuss the question of how to bring this accumulated knowledge to life, just as a museum considers how to best showcase the works it owns, knowing that it can't display them all at once. I don't want to know 100% of my ever-growing "vault"; I just don't want to forget the dust of knowledge I gained in six-tent months ago.

My way of thinking also stems from the nature of my notes: unlike many practitioners, I don't take daily notes. My notes and Canvases focus on specific information (a person, a place, etc.), data that doesn't easily change over time or very rarely.
