those with a card index or zettelkasten-based reading and note making practice will realize that they’re probably automatically following the advice
Note making does create space for reflection, is the thinking. But even before notes, annotation does too.
n:: notes as thinking vgl 'writing is thinking' annotation as thinking vs conversation, conversation as thinking through expression

What follows is a list of forums that range from at least interesting to good. I will attempt to contextualize the ones I know well. This post is by no means supposed to be complete and will be updated whenever I find more good forums.
Digital public service - thank you!!

A dynamic concept graph consisting of nodes, each representing an idea, and edges showing the hierarchical structure among them.LLMs generates the hierarchical structure automatically but the structure is editable through our gestures as we see fitattract and repulse in force between nodes reflect the proximity of the ideas they containnodes can be merged, split, grouped to generate new ideasA data landscape where we can navigate on various scales (micro- and macro views).each data entry turns into a landform or structure, with its physical properties (size, color, elevation, .etc) mirroring its attributesapply sort, group, filter on data entries to reshape the landscape and look for patterns
Network graphs, maps - it's why canvas is the UI du jour, to go beyond linearity, lists and trees

We can construct a thinking space from a space that is already enriched with our patterns of meaning, hence is capable of representing our thoughts in a way that makes sense to us. The space is fluid, ready to learn new things and be molded as we think with them.
It feels like a William Playfair moment - the idea that numbers can be represented in graphs, charts - can now be applied to anything else. We're still imagining the forms; network/knowledge graphs are trendy (to what end though) - what else?

https://braintool.org/2022/04/29/Tools4Thought-should-use-Org-for-interop.html
Proposal for org-mode syntax as the interoperability standard for tools for thought. The issue with things like markdown and opml is said to be the lack of semantic mark-up. Is that different in org-mode?

Glad to notice that: - I've heard of / know many of these tools, so have an ok overview of the current space. No surprises in the list. - I have not cycled through all these tools.
Also interesting that The Brain still exists. Used to be my desktop interface in the late 90s/early 00s.

Noosphere was presented at the Render conf on tools for thought. There's overlap with Boris' work on IPFS, judging by his tweets he's involved in this effort too.
This Noosphere Explainer explains the tech used, not the 'massive-multiplayer knowledge graph' it is posited to be, how that would come about with this tech, or what that is meant to be for.

ust an aside about "tools for thought," a burgeoning attention-sump in some circles. I seldom notice mention of the following: A walk. A shower. A good night's sleep. Introspection and reflection. I don't know that we understand "thought" well enough to design tools to improve it. But we do love our cleverness and the artifacts thereof. We can see those, and, more importantly, show them to others! We can talk about them, criticize them, modify them, endlessly.
Dave Rogers makes the points that 1) focusing on tools is often a distraction. 2) behaviour such as walk,shower, rest are also 'tools' to aid thinking.
