I can be stupid in my [private] Zettelkasten without anyone noticing.

I too have a private space exactly for this purpose. On the other hand, writing and publishing in public spaces forces me to do some additional thinking/polishing work that I might not otherwise, and that often provides some spectacular results as well as useful feedback for improvement over time.

More than just taking notes - Learning exhaust by Nicole van der Hoeven

Nice framing to broadly define note taking as a form of learning exhaust, but broadly nothing new here for me.

Interesting approach and these people are going to be great candidates for picking up new knowledge and self learning from too!

This is pretty normal for those of us who are academically inclined so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch - after all a lot of the time what we're doing is thinking about other peoples' works critically

You can use the way that a person responds to your concepts as a metric for how well they understand you. If they don't understand chances are they will retreat back to jargon to try to hide the fact that they're struggling. If they're getting on well they might have an insightful way to extend your metaphor

This is a really cool take on blogging. By writing about interesting people and stuff you are increasing your chances of meeting someone cool and indeed increasing your luck

I too read a lot of niche papers and feel the emptiness, but because I'm most often writing for myself anyway, its alright. There are times, however, when I see a growing community of people who've left their associative trails behind before I've found a particular page.

I've used the phrase "digital exhaust" before, but I like the more positive framing of "learning exhaust".

If you've not found it yet, my own experimentations with the platform can largely be found here: https://boffosocko.com/tag/hypothes.is/

This is key - exporting annotations via the API to either public commonplace books (Chris A Style) or to a private knowledge store seems to be pretty common.

I've been thinking about this exact same flow. Given that I'm mostly annotating scientific papers I got from open access journals I was wondering whether there might be some way to syndicate my zotero annotations back to h via a script.

Completely agree, this is a great intrinsic metric to measure the success of your work by.

not sure I love the metaphor but I can definitely see the advantages of leaving your learnings "out there" for others to see and benefit from

I positively don't recommend this article... good example of someone "trying on" information they've been reading about, but haven't quite mastered or gone deep enough on yet. Also potentially a good example of the sort of issues that can be seen when learning in public and potentially attempting to be an influencer in a space in which one is not an expert.

The public online commons, by means of context collapse, allows people to present themselves as experts within an area without actually being experts.

Some of these "experts" or "gurus" primarily have expertise in communication or promoting themselves or a small piece of a topic about which they know a little more than the average public.

Explicit example of someone using a zettelkasten to develop ideas and create content for distribution online and within social media.

Can't wait for the video to share with others.

I wonder something related, but even broader, "How do we get everyone to work in public?"
