@RobertHaisfield @nateliason @RoamResearch @evernote @NotionHQ Sorry: mu.
I'm not interested in using my notes this way. This fitness function isn't uncorrelated with my goals, but it's a poor basis vector. I really don't identify with the goals of almost anyone who writes about notes. More and more I feel I need to abandon the term "note."

@RobertHaisfield @nateliason @RoamResearch @evernote @NotionHQ (This sounds a touch uncharitable, but please interpret it charitably)
The most common goal for note systems (particularly e.g. BASB) seems to be "I want to be able to rapidly write a short Medium essay from excerpts and jottings." That's fine! It's not my goal.

@RobertHaisfield @nateliason @RoamResearch @evernote @NotionHQ My goal is: "I want to produce novel, powerful ideas." A computer-supported thinking system is helpful insofar as it supports that. But it's hard to evaluate those systems empirically because such ideas are rare. People who blog about note-taking systems don't produce them.
@RobertHaisfield @nateliason @RoamResearch @evernote @NotionHQ That's a notch too strong a generalization as stated. But only a notch.
I don't think it's an accident that Luhmann wrote "Communicating with slip boxes" near the end of his career.
