  1. Do you ever feel there’s too many ready-made answers that don’t fit your needs? Me too. That’s why I’m exploring an alternative: ’living questions’. Not quite Rilke, but also not not Rilke.

  2. Just discovered the #3D mode of #ORUI ( org-roam-ui of #emacs )!
    #MindBoggling :blobcataww:

    I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:

    Do you also use #orgRoam ?
    This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:

  3. I’m in a book club (comprised of academics, historians, inveterate note takers, commonplacers, zettelkasten users, and lifelong learners) that is just starting the 1972 (or later) revised edition of Mortimer J. Adler and Charles van Doren’s How to Read a Book. Our first Zoom session covering chapters 1-5 is Saturday, August 9th at 8:00 am (Pacific). Email Dan with the details at the original listing to get the details for joining or DM me directly.

    We’re pretty laid back, especially for Saturday mornings, so grab your favorite beverage and join us to talk about reading and intellectual history. If you’re joining late, feel free to stop by and join in knowing that you can catch up as we continue along for the coming month or so.

  4. A #zettelkasten or commonplace provides a catalytic surface to which ideas in the “solution of life” can more easily adhere to speed their reaction with ideas you’ve already seen and collected. Once combined via linking, further thinking and writing, they can be released as novel ideas for everyone to use.
