Great article, I see it is very similar. To me it's about learning, not "producing" — as Jason Fried said [1]:

I've never created content, I've written things down. I've never created content, I've said things out loud. I've never created content, I've recorded a video. I've never created content, I've shown someone around. I've never created content, I've pointed something out.

I think so, thinking is like training a muscle, if you don't do it often, you don't get to do so. But it's not as black and white, because there are different use cases where it makes total sense to use, and when it doesn't. I collected opinions from writers and developers over the years and share why I'm pro writing text manually. https://www.ssp.sh/brain/will-ai-replace-humans/

If you want to enhance your consciousness / rot your brain with AI - go ahead.

I agree, if we don't use it carefully, we won't be able to think confidentially. Obviously, there's no way around using it as a tool, but I think it will be a long-term loss of clear thinking if we stop learning or brainstorming ourselves. Similar to what Paul said: "The result will be a world divided into write-ers and write-nots. There will still be some people who can write."

Time will tell. I wrote more at 'Will AI Replace Human Thinking' [1].

Thanks so much! This is huge, I should celebrate it more! And 824 (and counting) public second brain notes, some of which are quite small, but some are as a blog post, too.

looking forward to that

Nice, yeah, some call it a digital garden, some just a notes app. There are different views, hehe. Cool, would love to see what you're building, once it's ready.

It's just note-taking in a single app, but instead of organizing your notes into folders, you link them. It's what Obsidian made popular. The name, because I use it for all facets of life, if I go to the doctor or dentist, I write it down, if I write an idea, or journal, it's all there. Tiago Forte coined the term initially. You find a note on my second brain about it, in case you want to know more (I also have related blog posts)

Amazing, thanks for doing that. I just moved all my websites to Bunny CDN a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier. Great product, great website and interface.

It's soo good, just watched it before.

This is so true, and also what I thought reading these comments. Love the "the world is full of "Switzerland". I added it to the note, thanks for the comment!

I try a minimal newsletter survey, that works within Markdown, and I don't have to pay 24$ per month, as tally or others.

still not many are doing it with emails. but great point, tough we all still have to pick unknown calls here and there as we expect someone, so with the email screener it's even better, as each email has a sender.

Oh, that's a great idea. Currently, every user has their own private list (it's just text files). It takes a bit of work initially, as you need to approve each email, but it's totally worth it. And it must be per user IMO, as your friends and family have different emails, so its less about public or legit domain, but more what domain and e-mail YOU trust.

But great idea, what i added is the opposite direcrection: showing if a sender used spy pixel. There I used public spylists I found.

The easiest and best filter is to screen emails. Only emails that were screened in once go to your inbox. It's that easy. HEY.com introduced it, and I can't see email without it; that's why I integrated it into my TUI email client, neomd [1]. Since then, when I get an email from Amazon that lands in my "To Screen" box, I am automatically alerted and know it is potentially spam, because I have approved Amazon and legit emails land in my inbox. Check it out, it's that easy. Neomd works with Fastmail or any other IMAP/SMTP email provider.

No AI needed, and also no stupid AI summary, as you only get a few legit emails to your inbox, never spam anymore.

amazing, thanks for sharing. I was curious if there's already a name for this local travel. Micro-travel or planless-travel are close. Mini retirements are another term I like to use. I heard from the Pathless Path book (I think), which is traveling for up to 4 weeks - it's not 100% related, but it is what came to mind when I heard Microadventures.

I find it also much more relaxing if you just go, with less planning, and more surprises. Travel as the wind takes you, that's it.

Both my Hugo blog and my Markdown book live in their own Git repos, so I symlinked their content folders into my Obsidian vault to edit everything from one place. The nice payoff: wiki-links and backlinks work across all of it, and renaming a note automatically updates the references in my book.
