@MikeKra36812131 Sounds like some of the same broad thesis in Forgetting Machines: Knowledge Management Evolution in Early Modern Europe, edited by Alberto Cevolini which does touch on #zettelkasten similar to that in Lila. https://t.co/oT1eAoQbiH

Perfect Notes

This small, green pocket memo book with a “frame” layout seems to be the perfect form factor for short handwritten notes to post to Twitter. A Twitter notebook if you will. Thanks Midori. (https://t.co/lEIVDfQI6z) https://t.co/zRKVweTWHO

@GeneviveBjorn @PhDVoice Thanks for this Genevive! Your framework reminds me of some similar older note making methods from several generations back which are having a resurgence, thanks in part to Sönke Ahrens' How to Take Smart Notes and many new applications. https://t.co/J4EOs4QKQl

The Mathematical Theory of Communication

Claude E. Shannon

@brunowinck @codexeditor @alanlaidlaw When thinking about this, recall that in the second paragraph of The Mathematical Theory of Communication (University of Illinois Press, 1949), Claude Shannon explicitly separates the semantic meaning from the engineering problem of communication. https://t.co/q4yfk8c7kQ

@elipariser @daphne_manuela Following on this, Robin Wall Kimmerer has some excellent material in Braiding Sweetgrass. I'm appreciating Elinor Ostrom's work on the commons. @AnneApplebaum's articles/books & @KateRaworth's Donut Economics all tie into these areas too.
