For those not yet part of the [[Zettel]] discussion, one thing I want to emphasize:
The low-floor, high-ceiling, agile, locally-emergent concepts that @beauhaan prototyped, mean you can start doing this on top of any existing note-stack, no matter how it was prev'ly organized.

Going to do @threadapalooza on the books of Roam Book Club.
1. RBC been running since July. Completed 2 books so far. Each book has taken about ~6 weeks, RBC members read book, take notes / interact in a shared Roam graph, and meet weekly over zoom to discuss ideas.
2. Vague aims of Book Club- Inductively explore the adjacent possible of Books, Multiplayer Roam, and collective written intelligence. Been a lot of fun hanging out with so many Roamans. Something strange happening:
1/n thoughts on Zetteling
If you treat your brain as a programmable computer, you will vastly unappreciate all the things it can do (many of which are the things that make life, life)
But if you ignore its algorithmic capacities, you will miss out on some splendid superpowers.

2/n ... the above observation, which is, itself, a kind of [[Zettel]], arose out of discussions with other @RoamResearch Book Club members,

3/n What is a "Zettel"?
It's an idea. An "aha!" moment. An aphorism. A gnomon. It's the basic, atomic unit of thought. It's what knowledge is woven out of. A conclusion, belief, idea, hypothesis. Sometimes, it's even a Tweet.
It's all of the above.

I stumbled upon @ZFleischmann’s @RoamBrain article today and it was the piece that made things “click” for my ideas of the flow of information through a zettelkasten.
HIGHLY recommend.

What’s happening in #RoamBookClub feels like a breakthrough in collaboration.
It’s exciting to watch the chaos evolve into order. Structure and convention taking form.

I just keep thinking of how profound this will be once the conventions take place and large communities can become aligned in pursuit of a common goal.
Imagine getting 100 experts on a topic together, and giving them a format to collaborate both synchronously and asynchronously.
In a medium that encourages elaboration and nuance.
