Just watched great overview of SRS in Roam with @Jeanvaljean689 . Love the custom CSS, stole it. Interesting approach to use a daily query with #minimal, to avoid seeing trail, that's been a problem when page title gives away answer. Going from this to this is a huge improvement! ImageImage
Found the code to minimize queries in here github.com/jmharris903/Ra…. Also interesting approach to a catchment area with tags and TODOs etc. What I wanted to do was more simple - a query for all cards due before today's date, using between.
So this - turns into this ... (yes, I left my SRS practice alone for a few months, and am planning to restart it again with better systems like this one). ImageImage
Note: this won't work for cards created on a daily page (queries can't distinguish between the assigned date of a block, and the date in the page title - I hope queries will support attributes soon, then we could change output of roam-toolkit to due::[[...]] and query for that

Up early on a Sunday to read for my book club on Sapiens📒, enjoying the calm. Asking myself some qs ahead of reading to prime myself, keeping track of when I read, looking up some relevant info in Wikipedia, and adding an SRS to keep track of it. Image
I know a lot of people are critical of this book, and I found a bunch of links that I'm also looking forward to going through. One thing that we discussed a lot around the first section is how the cognitive revolution/upper paleolithic transition actually happened. Image
Harari seems to suggest "we don't know but probably a random brain mutation". Vervaeke suggests we developed psycho-technologies, possibly through shamans, related to existential thread ([[Toba catastrophe]]) ImageImage

Rebooting my SRS questions with a daily query catching due and overdue cards, and nice CSS . Have about 45 cards, going to work through them and start adding more. Still experimenting but generally happy with the quality of my cards and underlying notes.
Doing it in Roam is great because you have context. Because answer is a reference, shift+clicking gives so deep context in the sidebar - where it's from, the bigger story. Often, reviewing a card, I will add to my notes, look something up. Image
Really trying to read more critically - I like thinking through questions before I start reading a chapter. Then I can easily block-ref these questions while I read, and see how different parts of the text provides answers. Image

Watching amazing @RoamResearch Portal by @DharamKapila from the book club, and it's giving me major Knowledge Forum vibes. Here's a video I made 10 years ago: a course where we also read a book, dived deep, reorganized our ideas, created custom views... vimeo.com/17143638 ImageImage
KF is a platform for inquiry in schools, training kids to think like scientists. It uses scaffolds to structure your thinking (like simple AOTs? @cortexfutura ), and encourages build-upons (kind of like fleeting->zettel), as well as multiple views - and the spatial component Image
One of my favorite aspects was at the end of the course, each student created their own view of the ideas and notes that had most inspired us - even if we hadn't written them. Kind of like queries, block refs etc allow. Would love to see sth similar for book club (cc @bod0ng ) Image

I haven't been tracking my reading systematically, but looking through my @RoamResearch notes and Kindle page, I think I captured the most important ones. Will start a thread giving quick thoughts on each one - nice summary of the year. Major non-fiction I've read 2020. You?
I will start with the most significant one, not technically a book, but a 49 hr lecture series. It has been the most significant thing I did this year (even if I'm just 15 hrs in), and spawned a number of other books (and will continue to do so). Awakening from the Meaning Crisis
Spanning pre-history, ancient history, modern psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and much more in an incredibly engaging fashion, I prefer listening while walking (networkedthought.substack.com/p/learning-eff…). Extensive notes: notes.reganmian.net/about?stackedP…. Highly recommended.

Looking back at some of the projects I've been working on which I still find meaningful (at least as inspiration) - my eventual goal is to curate links and resources in my digital garden, but for now I seem to often email or share links, maybe I should just make a Twitter thread

Last year I applied to become a professor at Concordia University in Montreal, and I wrote a four page research statement. These are very difficult to write, and I have no idea if this is good or not - position was cancelled in the end. Thought I'd share drive.google.com/file/d/1NWciJj…
To ensure that rich interactive collaborative learning gains a foothold in universities and
schools, and leads to better learning outcomes, we need to conduct research across different grain sizes, and make connections between separate
disciplines and research approaches.
Of course the only reason I'm sharing this publicly is secretly hoping people will say "Oh my god, they should have hired you. Their loss!"... Mutuals, you know what's expected of you... :)
