browsers aren’t magic! All the information browsers send to your backend is just HTTP requests. So if I copy all of the HTTP headers that my browser is sending, I think there’s literally no way for the backend to tell that the request isn’t sent by my browser and is actually being sent by a random Python program
This calls for a perspective shift: that "random Python program" is your browser.
Giving Your First Brain a New Job
This entire chapter thus far (to the end of this section at minimum) sounds like it would have been better motivating material.
It also has a more touchy-feely and less concrete nature which puts in the self-help category and not so much in the tools for thought space.
Orality is a technology or as a tool for thinking.
This is a widespread mistake among those who think that a sexy note-taking app like Roam will suddenly free their minds, or that they can train themselves into geniuses with enough spaced repetition, or that they can build a zettelkasten capable of thinking original thoughts for them.
Thinking that the tool will solve a particular problem without knowing what the tool does or how to use it properly will surely set one up for failure. You can use a screwdriver like a hammer, but your results won't be as good as using a hammer and using it properly.
