Started a YouTube channel. No jump cuts. No background music. No dopamine slot-machine thumbnails. Just ideas I think are worth hearing, said clearly, once. If that sounds like something you’re craving, I’d love to have you there. https://youtu.be/CjSWwmg-JRM?si=ZQQaQ8zTHdSVor_3

Been watching for a little over a week and you’re already one of my favorite YT channels now. By the way, not sure if this matters to you, but I noticed it doesn’t pull up easily in YT search currently with “Westenberg” or your full name. Maybe that will change with more uploads.

Confession: I enjoy listening very much, but I do slow the videos down a tad

Congratulations on your 6 years 🙏🏽 I’m on year 2 and will continue. Rumination, perseveration, and cognitive looping have decreased. Sounds like “deleting” supports that theory!

I think we bastardised and reshaped Luhmann's zettlekasten to make it suitable for laziness and progress without thinking. The majority of Luhmann's ZK was original writing, only referencing what he read through bibnotes. His slips didn't have titles - which meant that there was no pull to categorise information (imo the main pitfall of obsidian is that it forces you to shim one-concept-per-note, turning you into a librarian) I deleted (or just stopped using) my obsidian vault and moved to a physical ZK, but not before deeply studying Luhmann's method. If you do it right you actually end up thinking more, since every slip should be an original essay that may be inspired by something you've read, but connected to something else already in the box. You end up growing a tree of essays and narratives, your own unique conceptualisation of the topics you study, rather than a library of linked definitions.

In my case I have trying to reach more concepts like rhe second brain Wich are fairly new to me but any try to apply it on obsidian or charmverse or you name it ends up on information I don't finish to sync up with. We have to choose our playlist

This is really interesting work. I have been contemplating organizing such structure and even the preparation of the organizing of "thoughts" is a daunting task in its own.

Refreshing. Subscribed already...sometimes all we need is clarity without the noise.

I never successfully became entangled with a second brain, but I did watch my fair share of deep dives into why I should have one, and I did feel a bit of FOMO I would like a better catalogue of things for regular recipes. I use site. I frequent things to remember and how to track them better especially if they’re recurring or important. For now, I’m using note cards that I carry with me everywhere I go, and then some of those note cards, make it into a shared discord in the channel “things not to forget “
