Who’s the Bob Ross of #toolsforthought ?
And by Bob Ross I mean, extremely calm and soothing to listen from, thinks well, when you take in anything they do you enter a state of bliss that protects you from the world (unless I’m missing something from Bob Ross that I don’t know here)
For preservation, how I came to this thought: I woke up thinking “the infinite canvas is a potential barrier for mass thinkers because they lean towards order on the chaos vs order spectrum” and canvases led me to painters -> Bob Ross -> who’s a Bob Ross Thinker
And because an empty canvas is chaos personified, a workflow is chaos articulated, tools that have inherent rules for different aspects of its knowledge assumption(!) have enough order to encourage gaining micro efficiencies

Easier to build a city than design a planet

Friday night tinkering with my graph workflow is a different flavour of fun for some strange reason
Anybody got any good thinking music? My music player shuffled to Hoobastank's The Reason and I don't know if these feels are what I need for knowledge work atm 😅
Here's a 6 minute video of me exploring the viability of my current Roam42 jumpnav system on my private graph if you're interested - it's boring stuff if you're not interested in mouseless 😅 share.descript.com/view/Xu5BFXwuP…

A human being lives alone in their head. Humanity brings them together.

They grow up individually so they can learn how to fit into the collective. It’s the antidote to loneliness. Everyone wants to survive.

The difference is how much of your individuality remains after growth.
Understanding this, people articulate what the world expects of them to say, only to fit in. Their head = humanity.

The Individual recognises the head and observed humanity as two different universes, translating between both what the world truly needs.

They are twice as alone.
Oh how lonely ideas can be when they’re not translated between each other

Oh how cold The Individual feels after they are misunderstood by humanity

Oh how frustrating it is to move the world atop your own mountain, alone, fighting on the peaks when humans desire only the earth

The exciting thing about @AirrAudio's new AirrSpace feature is that it's the foundation for something I've always been fascinated about:

The atomicity of conversations.

Some thoughts on this:
airr.io/space/60cdf659…
Everything is a conversation. That's a firm belief I've always had for a very long time.

Every question has an answer, and every response a stepping stone to another discussion.

There are intonations, emotions, accents, and more that can never be captured in a blogpost.
A conversation *feels* different. In a podcast, you capture the content AND context.

But it's rigid. It's hard to get atomic unless you timestamp a specific part of the episode. You STILL have to refer to the whole episode (think of this as page vs. block-level referencing)

What's the difference between knowledge workers of the past and present?

In Medieval times, it was in the pursuit of God. Cato explains more here:
Giving us an overview of the other apps that he's tried, Cato details on the angles, differences and more on what is available for us lovely note-takers 🤩 shoutouts to @WorkFlowy and @ScrapboxApp for the mention and their amazing work here!

Fun question for Roamans! #roam

I’m outfitting an apartment on my own slowly over time. It has the bare necessities, and I’m bringing in office stuff, books, tech, etc.

Question: what furniture/device/item of #toolsforthought would be ideal for this place?
I’m thinking post-its, markers, whiteboard paper so I can write on the walls

I have some collected art I’m hanging around the place, limiting screens outside of the office (minus a dumb Linux terminal for @RoamResearch only)

What else would help me think better?
A teaser for one of the rooms, I’ll post the office space another time
