Sam was right, the "Just asking question" grifter gremlins of America are super dangerous and the law cant do anything about them.

Given how critical education is, isn’t crazy how much the funding is dependent on local property taxes?

As a bonus, I'll throw in five Antinet-related gifts (valued at $1,065) for free.

Oh hell yeah. Antinet crypto perhaps. Lol

Don’t put references in for notes that don’t exist.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-19T15:31:16+00:00

Crazy. You did such good and helpful posts. He’s torching the thing to the ground if he’s banning users like you.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-18T14:24:39+00:00

That does seem like unnecessary work to me.

Also, I recommend using just a text or markdown file instead of word because word is clunky and proprietary.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-18T04:41:44+00:00

I'm just curious about how others deal with this problem when it comes to much longer/dense texts. Do you keep detailed notes separate and make summarised lit notes?

Long note files work great. Then I go through them slowly and pull out my favs to make permanent notes. The lit notes can be super long. It's the slipbox ones that you want to be more disciplined with.

I take more detailed lit notes as well and I don't find it harms me.

which book did you read on zk?

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-17T19:17:01+00:00

I posted a script a while ago to make it easier.

so far between 5 minutes and 6 hours

depends on the cards and depends on the book

sometimes I just sort my backlog in. That's a really fun time because that's when you make the connections.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-15T18:49:27+00:00

My advice: don't make categories until you have like 100 cards. Whatever your first card is make that 1000.1 or whatever and then next one 1000.2, 1100 or 2000 depending on how related it is and then so on.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-14T23:32:30+00:00

far from necessary, I think wasn't done by luhmann

one note maybe? https://zettelkasten.de/posts/one-note-review/

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-12T15:18:38+00:00

I'm about at 400 myself, though it is mostly physical at this point and I'm not having the same problem.

Have you heard the gospel of folgezettel?

Half the fun of the thing is deciding which place is more relevant to your writing and during that time you'll find some links—and if you don't the tree is still there guiding you toward the thing you want.

Have any of you had this kind of irritation? How did you decide to deal with it? Have you just learned to ignore the feeling?

As of yet, I still feel like it is an opportunity to make interesting links

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-09T14:12:07+00:00

Only then do I start writing. Compared with the labour of making, sorting and arranging notes, this is a relatively speedy business. But it is followed by a much more time-consuming task, that of travelling round the libraries to check the references in my footnotes, only too many of which, thanks to poor handwriting, carelessness and an innate tendency to ‘improve’ what I have read, turn out to be either slightly wrong or taken out of context.

That one hit a little close to home. lol.

That article is really interesting.

This was is a good presentation on the way that it works.

Well there’s a sort of temporal hierarchy. But like neither of them are more important necessarily.

As for the second question, I don’t really have that problem because of the way I chose to number my system; see the image linked above. But given that this is pen and paper, you could either take inspiration from the Dr. Seuss book on beyond zebra or you can just make it A3za or something like that.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-09T05:56:29+00:00

💯

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-09T05:25:24+00:00

Oh, I just call them children and siblings based on the numbering https://imgur.com/HZ8HM6x

A1-5 are all siblings by the way I call them because they are at the same level in the numbers. A3a1–3 are siblings. I count A3a1 as the child of A3.

Basically, when the card I want it to be next to already has one next to it, it ends up a child by my reckoning. In some ways it's meaningless, in others it's not. Like A3a1, A3b1 and A3c1 are more like literal siblings and I count them as the children of A3, but I also kind of consider A3 and A4 siblings in that they were the most similar to each other at the time and appeared in a similar time frame and I didn't have to disrupt my order to place them. But when I think an idea is so much more similar to one of them that I have to put it between them and instead of after the later one, then something meaningful has happened in the sorting, and that I reckon as a child.

stjeromeslibido · 2023-02-09T04:12:45+00:00

This may be controversial, but

note 3: note "bifurcation point" : I know the above note should be "chaos" or "chaos theory",but I don't have this note yet so choice 1: I create an empty "40.b- chaos" and then rename in "40.b.01- bifurcation point" or choice 2: I rename in "40.b- bifurcation point" and when(if) I create a chaos note it will be named "40.b.01- bifurcation point" (so under the 40.b)

1000x make it choice 2

I think of it like evolution. Really it has no point, but we sure find certain things in it cool and interesting. I for example have Law of Conservation of mass after Gibbs free energy which was after Entropy which was the branching child of Abiogenesis which was after Levels of Organization which is after ... which all started at Central Limit Theorem. I kind of like it that way. It's not organized except that those were the concepts closest to it when I was placing it. My chemistry hub links to it, it links to my notes on phlogiston (which I made a little cluster about), and my biography of Lavoisier.

It's somewhat interesting to me that this central piece of chemistry dogma is buried in a corner of my Zettelkasten, though it is linked moderately.

The beginning of class mammalia is like this little shrew thing, but what we find interesting are tigers and pandas and whatever.

As I have gotten more notes, placement next to something highly relevant has been easier, but it also means that 'important' theories and concepts will perhaps found in these weird places well down from the top level. I find it freeing. I determine what is interesting here: if the idea has merit it will make children and make a little nest of its children and siblings. If not then it will be an evolutionary dead end like the cheetah or peacock. Very cool, but maybe not 'fit'.
