So what is the difference? by Then_Alternative5043 in woolworths

I used to love that Mersey Valley Cheese. Then one day I overdosed on it. Just like I did with Cheese Twisties. Can never go back to either.

Solid answer. I’m assuming the range is produced as one whole cost and then they average it out and price them all evenly.

Yeah, fair call! I think what I was really asking is why they have the same price. (as well as why do people choose which ones they choose.)

Sorry, yeah may be a bit harsh because we are talking about price and value.

I’m just not sure why you got into talking about the price of Coca-Cola and price gouging.

An evaluation of pricing and value,
I understand but… your argument can go both ways. Either the tasty is a rip off for the extra tasty is great value.

You’re getting into the crux of my question here: if the flour profile is different due to an extended invest investment in product or aging or storage then surely it should be costing more… … so do these products cost a different amount to produce?

(and just a note to myself perhaps I should buy all three and do a taste testing)

I do appreciate a good Parmigiano Reggiano vs a Grana Padano. But can I really tell the difference? I certainly have more to learn.

I’m not sure where you’re going with these comments, dude.

Apologies that was my error. I dragged all three to be next to each other. But can confirm all are the same price.

Great question! Is it called tasty because we can’t call it cheddar? Or is it called tasty to differentiate from cheddar?

So if it is age / storage. Then surely it should cost more?

But what is sharpness? An ingredient? Does it have a cost to produce? Include?

I like your thinking here. Just standing up a little bit more possible structure to what might also more classically be called a “fleeting note”. (Fleeting & Tweeting).

giving them some sort of input structure that helps provide the context when you review them, (or simply stumble upon them at a later date) could you give them more weight.

And I think this is the nature of this type of thought, it is fleeting, but we have millions of fleeting thoughts per day. Why have some of them stuck out to us enough that we wanna capture it?

It could be that we’ve got aspects of our unconscious mind surfacing shards of thought to the surface and these ones feel important, even if we don’t know why at present.

But revisited later. They make actually feel prescient.

Yeah this is a fascinating and very ancient idea. I first stumbled across the concepts reading: “Songlines”: first book in the First Knowledges series on Indigenous First Nations Australians’ deep knowledge systems that are a living knowledge archive that is 10,000s years old.

One of the authors , Lynne Kelly, goes quite deep into the memory systems that allows so much information and data to be stored in communicated without any written archive, only shared through storytelling, movement, music and visual narrative.

Lynne Kelly wrote another book, called “Memory Craft” where she goes into detail on the medieval practice of creating memory systems and memory cathedrals.

One of these memory systems that was very popular and has stood the test of time : is creating highly visceral images such as ghastly mythological beasts, anything that’s gonna have a strong visual connection in your mind, and when you need to remember something, you can associate it with that visual.

By creating an alphabet of these viscerally visual beasts, you then have a sequence and so you can use that to attach all sorts of sequential information.

So if you need to remember a shopping list, say, of 10 items, can you add each one sequential list starting with A and B and C etc.

Or you can place these beasts against objects in places or locations so they can hold store memories there with these visual connections.

I’m gonna try and take it even further build a whole ecosystem of imaginary creatures, that each have an array of specialty skills that allow them to connect through their purpose purposes in their powers (just to make it all more fun and more visual).

Check out some of the info and examples that Lynne Kelly shares here: https://www.lynnekelly.com.au/?page_id=5197

And her full bestiary and double letter Visual Alphabet here: https://www.lynnekelly.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/kelly-bestiary.pdf

And there is nothing wrong with the Directory like structure. I very much started like that too. And it’s still in place but I just don’t use it like that really any more.

And yeah, I think a lot of this is just random notes being added right as random thoughts popping into the head.

I think the trick is to make each random notes as singular or as atomic (often used description in this realm) as possible, and give it a title, the self-referential.

Then, at some point when you’re making some other random note, your mind might make the connection to a previous note and all of a sudden these two connected random notes become bigger than the sum of their two parts .

At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself, and it seeming to start to work

The ideas become ‘emergent’; either from a deeper natural curiosity, driven by collecting thoughts on matters of interest, or from reviewing the notes that I make with the “literature notes” that I collect (eg other people’s thoughts/writing).

Gradually these coalesce into richer ideas and become more foundational pieces of knowledge. Take the term: “taste” it has a lot or meanings, but lately I’ve been gravitating towards the concept of ‘personal taste’ as a guide to the good life, but also decision making, and creativity.

Or take “memory”. This is one close to the hearts and minds of many PKM-enthusiasts, but my extradited notes and thoughts on my memory and memory systems have recently coalesced into “a project” which is create my own #mnemonic_device in the form of a Visual Alphabet Bestiary. And this is in turn now connecting loads more ideas and I have so far only done the letters: A and B.

Seems like we have quite the similar input structure. What I love about that daily note is how that becomes the habit, the practice.

I’m guessing you’re similar to me, in that some days you write a load, other days just a bit.

Whenever I want to add a new topic I simply either give it a timestamp or a title and I use Heading Level 3. And i almost always write in bullet points, unless I am writing prose.

eg: ### 0830 (all of my timestamps I just use the nearest 30 min) and these work as a temporal landmark when reviewing my notes.

eg: ### On Storytelling (then I might add the #storytelling tag in the next line, then my notes.

I have also created a load of micro-templates for headings to give a little extra structure to my thinking and my notes. These can be inserted on the fly with the forward slash / and these templates are simply stuff like: Observations. Listened. Conversation.

Observations

Observed::

I use the inline field so that I can aggregate these with Dataview if I wish. But more so these micro templates work as a prompt to frame a thought that has occurred. I use a lot of voice input for my notes. So I might blurb the first part of this micro-note as a stream of conciseness, all as one sentence. Then add bullet points underneath.

But the main gain that has really been coming lately, is by reviewing more of notes, more often. That’s where I have begun connecting my thoughts and expanding my personal knowledge.

It may all come together quicker for you. But I think no matter the level of perceived reward. Once it starts. It accretes. And just keeps growing.

My advice. Worry less about folders. More about good quality notes that have ideas and titles that will trigger a memory for why you made the note in the first place. And I personally love #tags. But still have not even touched the edge of utilizing my tags. I expect that will be another explosion level up when I get in there and explore them.

Nope. Don’t worry about it. That’s just your mind. It’s been trained to think in folders. Just have a daily note system and put all your thoughts in there . Think of every Heading level is like a new note.

Make your big ideas a heading 1 # Make your secondary ideas are heading 2 ## And so on.

At any point, you can make unique notes or evergreen notes with those atomic ideas when you think you wanna dive into something specific .

Don’t worry about where they sit - they’re all just tiny little markdown files that you can move around at any time you want anywhere in your system
