[Karl's @[email protected] quote–buried by the apps] "Under [US] law, the [US] government does need a warrant to access the content of electronic communications that are 180 days old or less, but doesn't [under US law] need one for older emails."
Guess where (almost) all our historic email is. #extendedMind -

I don't usually pre-order books, but I was very curious about this one ! No idea why it took five years to translate it from Spanish.

In her book, The Extended Mind, Annie Murphy Paul says:
“We extend beyond our limits, not by revving our brains like a machine or bulking them up like a muscle — but by strewing our world with rich materials, and by weaving them into our thoughts.”

"💬"At what point does something become part of your mind, instead of just a convenient note taking device?" "
A question discussed with philosopher David Chalmers, on the Philosophy Bites podcast.
So much of this depends on what ‘the mind’ means. Meanwhile, we do seamlessly interact with our writing tools, to achieve more than we could without them.

I've heard people say AI will diminish the need for note-taking. In some cases it will. But AI can also help you think more effectively with your notes. Learn more in my new book, "Duly Noted."

"Note" is an overloaded word: we use it to describe different things — stickies, shopping lists, mind maps, etc. — that serve different purposes. Knowing why you're taking notes helps you think better.

Notes aren't just for remembering: they extend your mind in various other ways. As such, they're highly personal. My new book, "Duly Noted," shows you how to amplify your cognitive powers using notes.

Digital note-taking is different from taking notes on paper. Digital notes give you superpowers — but only if you understand how they're different. These three principles are the key. (Learn more in my new book, “Duly Noted”: https://dulynoted.fyi)

I was thrilled to be a guest in Larry Swanson's "Content Strategy Insights" podcast. Our conversation centered on the subject of my new book, "Duly Noted": better thinking through mindful note-taking. Check it out! https://ellessmedia.com/csi/jorge-arango/

A wonderful review of "Duly Noted" from Matthias Melchor. He called it "The first good book about note-taking"! 🤩 https://x28newblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/duly-noted/

The folks at Kirkus Reviews liked "Duly Noted." Their pullquote is a good overview of the book: "An informative guide to organizing and managing thoughts, with a digital focus." https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jorge-arando/duly-noted-extend-your-mind-through-connected-notes/

I've been thinking about the role of surprise in #zettelkasten and #notetaking . The #extendedmind theory takes an interesting approach - increasing surprise in the short term to reduce prediction errors in the longer term.

New on my podcast: a conversation about zettelkasten and smart note-taking with Dr. Sönke Ahrens, author of “How to Take Smart Notes.” I’ve learned a lot from Sönke’s book — it was a privilege to discuss these ideas with him.

We have become used to outsourcing our memory, particularly as photographs.
If all your digital photos, music, writing... were lost, how much of 'you' would be lost with it?
Would you be diminished as a person?
Would your 'self' change with the loss of memories?

Super thankful for all of my new network here in #philosophy - it's feeling like a much more valuable space already.
I'm still working on #mind #brain #perception #consciousness - most recently directing this towards a project in animal #cognition and nonhuman rights.
If you know if Markus Gabriel is here on the M yet, let me know -

That feeling when you're really confused how to do something and feel stuck, so you start writing it down or just jump into programming and by some magcal means you come up with the answer.
