When we organise our culture around renewal, we devalue the quieter labour of holding things together, of getting through
continuation is valuable work. (on a personal level 2025 keeping upright was the biggest thing my company could achieve even) Continuation, holding things together is a ratchet. Compounding effects come from it, unlike clean slates
When he said that the whole meaning of a (clear) conception consists in the entire set of its practical consequences, he had in mind that a meaningful conception must have some sort of experiential "cash value", must somehow be capable of being related to some sort of collection of possible empirical observations under specifiable conditions.
The term cash value here repeats the notion of iteration, of ratchet effect in perceiving truth / gaining knowledge. Like in a life insurance policy the cash value is a representation of what has been ratcheted up for future use.
Maar niet alles is positive-sum. Tijd is schaars en wat ik aan het ene besteed, kan ik niet aan het andere besteden. Aandacht werkt hetzelfde. Grond ook. Sommige dingen blijven zero-sum, en dat erkennen voorkomt naïviteit.Informatie is de grote uitzondering. Als ik jou informatie geef, heb ik niet minder. Vaak krijg ik betere informatie terug, omdat jij aanvult, corrigeert of bevestigt. Informatie groeit door te delen. Dat is niet zomaar positive-sum, het is exponentieel: hoe meer je deelt, hoe meer je terugkrijgt.Dat maakt informatie de munteenheid van de netwerksamenleving. En het verandert de spelregels. Wie informatie oppot zoals geld, verliest. Wie informatie laat stromen, wint.
zijn visie in notedop, aandacht / tijd als zerosum, informatie als compounding positive sum. vgl [[Aandacht is het schaarst 20201013163120]]
Resumability is not a word, but it’s an important concept to me. When I say Resumability, I’m talking about the ability to quickly interrupt and later resume a task.
[[Steven Garrity]] coining 'resumability' , where a device just continues on where you were previously. Mentions e-readers as such devices (and paper books with a bookmark), a smartphone and apps like Slack. The latter is not true I think, it scrolls fwd to newest.
Thinking about resumability in terms of notes / pkm. Obsidian is always where I was previously e.g. A type of ratchet for task execution.
Lynch's idea that "ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper". To Lynch, going deeper means experiencing a deeper, more expanded state of consciousness, a transcendental or fourth state of consciousness,[2] an experience he has during meditation but believes is rare in ordinary daily life.[6] According to Lynch, this experience expands artistic capacity.[4]
