  1. On 9 October 2025 I hit a phrase in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy I didn't understand: "Constructivist Kantian direction". I pasted the paragraph into Claude and went down a rabbit hole.

    Around 50 conversations later, I've written up what using Claude as a reading partner gives me, what it costs, and how I keep the thinking my own.

  6. I find the idea of a #zettelkasten really cozy.

    Before computers, some people kept notebooks with their notes and thoughts. I see my digital ZK as a version of that, ignoring any claims about productivity or second brain, which I feel are a bit cargo-culty.

    I've had my ZK for six years know (lots of free time during Covid). It's a directory containing plain text (markdown) files that link to each other. It's that simple.

    An app can take this and make a bit more out of it. For example, being able to have both a graph and tree view of my notes is great. Gives back a bit of that spatial dimension that is lost when going digital.

    I got close to the concept of a ZK through #Obsidian. But I also use mine through a terminal text editor. That's the beauty of #LocalFirst and #PlainText. I also mirror it on my phone so I can carry it around.

    It's like having your own #Web, but without @timbl's genius idea of using links to navigate the Internet. You can still have external links though.
