Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week. September 3, 2024
Swimming with Ideas
This is yet another opportunity to share what you are working on with your friends here on the forum. Add to this discussion by telling us about your zettelkasten journey. Share with us what you're learning. Sharing helps us clarify our goals and visualize our thinking. And sometimes, a conversation sparks a magical moment where we can dive into an idea worth exploring. I'd love to hear more from you. 🫵🏼
Here is my report on why I'm here and my current ZK work themes and ideas:
How can I use AI as a devil's advocate when editing my writing? First, I will write and then ask for a critique as opposed to asking AI to interpret the text I'm studying. I will tell AI to critique my assessment of the text, taking the feedback as advice. Use AI to improve my assessment capabilities.
In Learning How to Read, Niklas Luhmann spills his affection and dreams for the computer age, which he didn't live to participate in fully, but I'm lucky enough to be living his dream.

The "My rolling twelve-day zettel production" is produced by a script for attachment to my daily journaling template. I do my journaling in Bear to keep personal journaling separate from my knowledge work.
Let me know if you would like to see, discuss, or critique any of these notes.

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

minimalistisches Zettel Gedicht
JFK Schmidt on Luhmann's Zettelkasten [@schmidtNiklasLuhmannCard2016, pp. 292-293]
1950s-1960s:
Running-text taken from original source
1970s-on:
Increasingly brief, telegraphic notes.
The inspiration for Zettel Gedicht
Object card
Museum object cards that contextualize and elucidate an object’s significance and background can be the sole reason to attend an exhibit. Since this example of minimalistisches Zettel Gedicht is an object card, it cannot be more interesting than itself. While gesturing toward iambic pentameter, its unpoetic, utilitarian corporate flatness qualifies it as a poem under established historical norms of avant-garde, high barrier-to-entry institutionalized radicalism, exemplified by the now inactive UbuWeb archive.

Cubicle of the Sublime
You underestimate the foothills:
Forget, ignore, pursue no question—yield
To instinct: self-contained, not understood—
Hidden by cloud:
Sheer jagged precipice, vast fields of snow.
To stay aloft in turbulence: air pocket—
Sudden drop.

If there was any doubt that a Zettelkasten could support "publication," Object card was "generated" from the Zettel titled minimalistisches Zettel Gedicht. Appropriation without attribution or appropriation with misattribution is not unexpected.

1b1 native language acquisition is a natural and sub-conscious process. In other words, we acquired our native language without being taught by either our parents or teachers. We acquired it by "immersing" ourselves in the language environment created by our parents.
