Nice example of someone building their own paper-based zettelkasten an how they use it.
Seemingly missing here is any sort of indexing system which means one is more reliant on the threads from one card to the next. Also missing are any other examples of links to other cards beyond the one this particular card is placed behind.
Scott Scheper is using the word antinet, presumably to focus on non-digital versions of zettelkasten. Sounds more like a marketing word that essentially means paper zettelkasten or card index.

The sky is a textbook. The sky is a lawbook. The sky is a science book. —Duane Hamacher, (1:24)
Hamacher uses the Western description "method of loci" rather than an Indigenous word or translated word.
The words "myth", "legend", "magic", "ritual", and "religion" in both colloquial English and even anthropology are highly loaded terms.
Words like "narrative" and "story" are better used instead for describing portions of the Indigenous cultures which we have long ignored and written off for their seeming simplicity.

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2012 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/klapa-multipart-singing-of-dalmatia-southern-croatia-00746 Description: Klapa singing is a multipart singing tradition of Dalmatia. Multipart singing, a capella homophonic singing, oral tradition and simple music making are its main features. The leader of each singing group is the first tenor, followed by several tenori, baritoni and basi voices. During performances, the singers stand in a tight semicircle, and the first tenor starts the singing, followed by the others. The aim is to achieve the best possible blend of voices. Klapa songs deal with love, life situations, and the local environment. Country(ies): Croatia

Most of the reasons relate to social media and pressure of perfectionism related to it. Definitely fits into my productivity porn thesis.
These are all things for people in the digital garden space to watch out for in the future. Presenting one's learning in public can eventually evolve into something negative if not done for the correct reasons. Bullet Journal's rise to popularity in coordination with the rise of social media can be a means for forcing people to quit it all.

It's interesting to see Dan struggle with an obvious listicle article in Forbes as an authoritative source. This example is a great indicator that Forbes online has created far too much of a content farm to be taken seriously anymore. From what I've seen of it over the past several years it's followed the business model of The Huffington Post before Huffington sold it and cashed out. My supposition is that Forbes is providing a platform for people to get reach and isn't actually paying those writers to create their content.

Lately, a lot of people have been very upset about “critical race theory.” Back in September 2020, the former president directed federal agencies to cut funding for training programs that refer to “white privilege” or “critical race theory, declaring such programs “un-American propaganda” and “a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue.” In the last few months, at least eight states have passed legislation banning the teaching of CRT in schools and some 20 more have similar bills in the pipeline or plans to introduce them. What’s going on?
Join us for a conversation that situates the current battle about “critical race theory” in the context of a much longer war over the relationship between our racial present and racial past, and the role of culture, institutions, laws, policies and “systems” in shaping both. As members of families and communities, as adults in the lives of the children who will have to live with the consequences of these struggles, how do we understand what's at stake and how we can usefully weigh in?
Hosts: Melissa Giraud & Andrew Grant-Thomas
Guests: Shee Covarrubias, Kerry-Ann Escayg,

People would rather be spoon fed rather than do the work themselves. Sadly this is being encouraged in the media.

Boxes are boring, so add frames or more interesting Use containers to separate information that is different from the rest or to highlight.

Sketchnoting forces students to take ideas from a lesson and turn them into their own ideas. It also forces modality shifts.
Reviewing over a lecture after the fact to create sketchnotes is incredibly similar to some of the point and purpose of Cornell Notes.

Eminem shows Anderson Cooper his form of commonplace book in a 60 Minutes interview.
Instead of calling it "commonplacing", he uses the phrase "stacking ammo".
Cooper analogizes the collection as the scrawlings of a crazy person. In some sense, this may be because there is no order or indexing system with what otherwise looks like a box of random pages.

Some interesting tidbits and some workflow tips thus far. Not too jargony, but beginners may need to look at some of his other videos or work to see how to better set up pieces. Definitely very thorough so far.
He's got roughly the same framing for tags/links that I use, though I don't even get into the status pieces with emoji/tags as much as he does.
I'm not a fan of some of his reliance on iframes where data can (and will) disappear in the future. For Twitter, he does screencaptures of things which can be annoying and take up a lot of storage. Not sure why he isn't using twitter embed functionality which will do blockquotes of tweets and capture the actual text so that it's searchable.

Nothing new.

3 Productivity hacks
The Zen meditation hack sounds much in the line of advice to often get away from what you're studing/researching and to let the ideas stew for a bit before coming back to them. It's the same principle as going for walks frequently heard from folks or being a flâneur. (cross reference Nassim Nicholas Taleb et al.) The other version of this that's similar are the diffuse modes of learning (compared with focused modes) described in learning theory. (Examples in work of Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski in https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn)
I've generally come to the idea that genius doesn't exist myself. Most of it distills down to use of tools like commonplace books.
Perhaps worth looking into some of the following to see what, if anything, is different than prior version of the commonplace book tradition:

The endpoint you'd use to fetch this data is the Intraday Heart Rate Time Series endpoints. If you'd like to test this endpoint, you can do it with the Fitbit API Explorer. If you're looking to fetch real-time/raw data with 1sec detail level, you'll want to use the Device API and SDK to create a clock face. You can get further assistance from other developers and our moderators in the SDK forum here.

Wear OS is a smartwatch operating system created and maintained by Google. It was announced on March 18, 2014 as Android Wear, only to be rebranded as Wear OS on March 15, 2018. Wear OS is an Android-based operating system that receives semi-regular feature and security updates, just like the version of Android that powers billions of smartphones around the world.
Wear OS description
The data is queried directly from your Fitbit account and inserted into Google Fit. To do this, you must first log in with your Fitbit account and give FitToFit access to the data that you want to transfer. You will then be asked to connect to your Google account, into which the data from Fitbit should be inserted.
Cannot directly interface with fitbit with Google fit, can only export processed data from fit bit and send to google fit...
The Google Fit APIs for Android are part of Google Play services. The Google Fit APIs are supported on Android 4.1 (API level 16) and higher. Using these APIs, your app can do the following: Read near-real-time and historic data, including data from Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. Record activities. Associate data with a session. Set fitness goals.
Google Fit API for Android allows raw data access!!!
Sensors API
Fit bit's sensor API... only preprocessed data and not raw. Fit bit does not use Android API for sensor access..
As mentioned before, sensors such as the Empatica provide some raw data (E.g. raw PPG), although the cost is very high (around $ 1700 US). Moreover, smartwatches such as the Moto360 or the LG G Watch R can be programmed to provide HR data. However, you should consider that this is preprocessed data (from manufacturers) and we just have access to the processed data (not the raw PPG). Therefore, if you wanted to make things such as Heart Rate Variability analysis, this approach is not highly accurate. I have been working with the Polar Chest Band (H7) and it seems that we can access both HR and RR-interval data with an Android app (currently working in an APK to extend it in our PhysioVR framework).

Use this API to do the following: List data sources that are available on the device and on companion devices. Register listeners to receive raw sensor data. Unregister listeners so that they no longer receive raw sensor data.

The PPG data were collected with Huawei Watch 2
Study that used Huawei Watch 2 PPG sensor to measure stress levels
Depends on vendor, it would be possible to access the raw ppg signal of wear os sensor, should you have access to sensor hardware driver. Some researchers did analysed PPG raw signal from Huawei watch 2 and here is the paper.
android /wear OS allows for raw PPG data access, but need drivers...
Each Fitbit device includes a variety of hardware sensors that have been exposed through our Sensor APIs.
No info on PPG sensors... not accessible through API?
Unfortunately this is not available via an API at this time.

7 This answer is not useful Show activity on this post. I spent some time figuring out if it's feasible to get the raw PPG signal from android API, and contrary to what some may say, it is definitely possible to do that. And here is how to do it:

Monday on the NewsHour, we look at the violence in the Middle East as rockets continue to fly into Israel, and Israelis hammer Gaza with heavy airstrikes. Then, we talk to the president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, as U.S. troops leave his country and violence escalates. And, we explore why Americans are divided on whether or not to follow new CDC guidance relaxing mask and distancing rules.

Jim Groom talked about a "motherblog" (a planet made via RSS). How can we center the idea of a webmention hub to do this?
There was a lot of reversion to what was comfortable in the move to all online pedagogy. Professors were comfortable with lectures, so they stuck with that. There wasn't an emphasis on actual learning.
I should note Glenn Zucman's art work to Colin to pass along to their art department. There could be a community of use cases that might help each other experiment and expand on their ideas.

They built the platform while eating their own cooking (or at least doing so with nearby communities).
Use for this as bookclubs. Embedable audio and video possibilities.
Use case where people have put journals on the platform and they've grown to add meta data and features to work for that.
They're allowing people to pull in social media pieces into the platform as well. Perhaps an opportunity to use Webmentions?
They support epub.

Using simple tools like Google Docs and then ingest them into Manifold using a YAML file.
TEI, LaTeX formats and strategies for pulling them in. (Are these actually supported? It wasn't clear.)
