Right now, I have a book in progress with Clark Quinn. Clark and I have known each other for 20 years, and it’s based on PKM, but it’s more of a how-to manual, right down to the actual process of personal knowledge mastery. The working title is Seek and Share, but we’ll see where it goes. So, we’ve been working on that for several months now.

Private library: Schröder's dream<br /> by [[Benjamin Quaderer]] in DIE ZEIT<br /> accessed on 2026-01-25T15:02:05
According to a conservative estimate, Bruno Schröder's library contained around 70,000 books. Compared to the municipality's only public library, a two-room shop with 4,500 titles, Bruno Schröder's private library was almost sixteen times larger.
There, the shelves are integrated into the sloping roof in such a way that the books line the entire interior surface of the roof. "Insulation," one of my conversation partners remarks, "that Robert Habeck would wish for in every house."
According to an estimate by an antiquarian bookseller whom Renate Abeln guided through the bookshop, Bruno Schröder invested between 800,000 and one million euros in books over his lifetime.

E-books are expensive for libraries. Some states are trying to change that<br /> by [[Clare McGrane]] for NPR<br /> accessed on 2026-01-03T19:44:28
The last time a state tried to regulate this industry was Maryland in 2021. A federal court said it violated copyright law because it banned publishers from selling books in Maryland altogether, unless they lowered prices for libraries.
That's why advocates have put forward blueprint legislation that seeks to regulate e-book licenses the same way states regulate other contracts that involve taxpayer money.
Libraries often pay three to four times for the digital editions of the same exact books. Quite often, the e-audiobooks are even more expensive.

Overview :
From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a dangerously dark stalker hockey romance.Can I outrun his merciless obsession?I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder.I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind.But my plan backfired, and my life spiraled downward.Now, I’m the target of cold-blooded revenge.Jude Callahan isn’t just a hockey god—he’s a devil no one dares to cross.My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career choice.And he’s set out to make me pay for that moment of silence.No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows.Like a predator.I thought he’d stop at the stalking.Or even better, he’d kill me and finally end my misery.But Jude has other plans.He says I can’t die. I have to pay for my sins.And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming.This book can be read on its own but for better understanding of the world, it's recommended to read Beautiful Venom first. The pacing of the book reflects a careful consideration of reader engagement. Moments of intensity are balanced with quieter scenes that provide context and reflection. This rhythm keeps the story dynamic without becoming overwhelming. This book stands out for its ability to convey complex ideas in a way that feels natural and easy to follow. Rather than relying on excessive exposition, the author allows the story to evolve organically through dialogue and action. Readers often appreciate how the pacing remains consistent, avoiding unnecessary detours while still providing enough detail to fully understand the motivations behind each character. This approach creates a reading experience that feels both thoughtful and satisfying. The narrative voice used throughout the book feels confident and well-defined. The author’s tone remains steady, helping readers develop a sense of familiarity with the storytelling style. This consistency makes it easier to follow the plot and understand the underlying messages woven into the text. The result is a cohesive reading experience that feels deliberate and carefully crafted.

book review/ summary of [[Alone With You in The Ether by Olivie Blake]] that I picked up in Le Mans summer 2024, and haven't read yet. From a psychologists perspective.
However, I also believe that therapy should be about the client; there’s a line between self-disclosure and self-indulgent
when is it a conversation, when are you making it about yourself only?
Dr Yalom talks about this as well in the book and argues that self-disclosure can be useful to building connection, the thing that accounts for 80% of success in therapy.
Sessions also contain self-disclosure by Yalom, against therapeutic condition, but here positioned as way to connect. (and I think regular interaction between ppl.)
focusing on the ‘here and now’. Often, he picks up on the dynamic between him and the client and raises this with the client, linking it with the issue that brought them to him. Most of the time, this is effective.
Yalom makes the meeting between the original request and the current setting / dynamic in the conversational pair the thing to explore.
The book is a collection of stories of these one-off sessions, and they are fascinating to me as a psychologist. How effective can one hour of conversation be? It is true that Dr Yalom (or Irv, as he asks his clients to call him) does not promise to resolve his clients’ needs in one hour; in fact, every consultation is ended with him providing names of other clinicians and urging the client to continue with longer-term therapy.
Yalom during Covid engaged in 1 hour sessions. Not as self-contained therapy, but still self-contained one-off conversations.

Kommer den artificiella intelligensen att bli bättre på att tänka än den mänskliga? Kognitionsvetaren Peter Gärdenfors förklarar varför så inte är fallet. Den mänskliga intelligensen består av en rad olika färdigheter och specialiteter som har förfinats under tusentals år. Mycket återstår innan den artificiella intelligensen kan mäta sig med det tänkande som inte bara människor utan även djur har. När vi förstår att vår intelligens är en bred palett av många olika förmågor ter sig tanken på att AI-tekniken trumfar oss i schack och kan skriva avancerade texter inte lika skrämmande. Utifrån ett brett forskningsunderlag förklarar Gärdenfors varför AI-tekniken inte kan och inte kommer att kunna tänka på samma sätt som människor och djur gör. »Peter Gärdenfors tilldelas Natur & Kulturs debattbokspris 2025 för att han fördjupar AI-debattens centrala begrepp och utmanar dess utgångspunkter. Med lätt språk och stabil lärdom blottlägger han tänkandets evolutionärt slipade mekanismer, och skärper bilden av vad intelligens är och vilken plats tekniken intar i vår digitala värld.« – Juryns motivering

Why Who Did What When<br /> by [[Solomon Golomb]] in American Scientist<br /> accessed on 2025-09-11T10:22:57
My own assessment is that the book, which reads like a thoroughly researched legal brief (more than 100 pages are devoted to notes, references and a very detailed index), makes the best possible case for the highly dubious proposition that the ideas of information theory influenced the substance, rather than merely the rhetoric, of research in molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s.
Information theorist Solomon Golomb, who directly participated in the applications of information theory to early genetics, doesn't feel that it influenced the substance of molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s though it may have influenced the rhetoric.

Gutting Book Basics by [[Thomas Vander Wal]]
In short: Book ix of the Summawas the nearest thing to an MBA textbook that the fifteenth century had tooffer. And one of the first lessons that its aspirational readers digested wasthat every business needed at least four blank books – the memoriale, orday book, the giornale, or journal, the quaderno, or general ledger, and abook for correspondence – and maybe even a fifth, the squartofoglia, or
waste book.

Opinion: This Is Who’s Really Driving the Decline in Interest in Liberal Arts Education by [[Jennifer Frey]] 2025-07-17 in New York Times
Frey argues that it's college administrators who are killing off the idea of a liberal arts education. In her experience, students are thrilled to be in these programs and participate in them.
Me: Some of the pressure, also indicated here, is from toxic capitalism which is pressuring students to be only career-focused in their educational journeys. This pressure leaves much less space for the humanities.

summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well
Indyweb dev - new Plexmark - analog affirmation slider - while reading the passage I was annotating, I realised that I was in agreement with a lot of what the author was articulating. However, I have no way to indicate this match because it would be too much - this gave rise to a new Plexmark: <br /> - Have an analog control slider for each sentence that indicates - agreement on one side and - disagreement on the other side as well as a - 'don't know' button. - This gives a running indication of resonance with your own salience landscape - This can then be used in conjunction with the Indranet - If there is an indication of strong agreement, then the reader may have strong motivation to investigate that author's mindplex, - especially if there is a strong salience mismatch between the author and the reader, indicating a possible learning event
