@birming I like the idea of aJekyll blog and a Hyde blog! Which is which? I guess readers can decide for themselves

Maybe not the opposite but surely something different. Influenced by mathematician George Spencer-Brown, Luhmann saw making a distinction as a key to understanding social systems. This is not in the same line of discussion as Derrida’s emphasis on ‘diffèrence’, and I don’t think there’s much direct connection with Wittgenstein’s thought (see Christis 2002), but there are some similarities. As for Wittgenstein, that’s an intriguing question. “Don’t ask for the meaning, ask for the tags.”

@writingslowly.bsky.social I’m reliably informed it’s a noisy miner, not a mynah. Always forgetting that

@chrisaldrich this is an inspiration!

@Miraz “Do we actually know what we’re doing?” - said no entitled group of men ever.

@lmika no way. I’m taking massive risks recklessly.

@Miraz I think the magpies are introduced ‘pests’ in NZ aren’t they?

@antonzuiker That’s great - I look forward to reading it.

@Skarjune there’s an awful lot of us with this story. And we’re not going to forget it.

@lmika speaking strictly as a user, it’s the business model that needs to be resolved. YouTube’s convenience is strongly compromised by the intrusive adverts which its business model seems to require. There’s an opportunity here to be clearly better than YouTube - but an ad-free business model is a challenge.

@roycerk2.bsky.social Yeah. Me neither. I’m just relying on hearsay.

@roycerk2.bsky.social What about footy teams? Aren’t people obsessed with all that? And it’s deeply about place. State of Origin etc. For example, one big reason for distrusting Morrison was that his support for the Sharks was somehow bogus. www.hellosport.com.au/2021/09/10/i…

@thebigbabooski @manton think of this scene every time you press ‘enter’ and your life becomes unbearably exciting. I charge nothing for this tip.

@eleanorkonik in 2018 I wrote a note describing how I’d like to visit Japan and learn more about the concept of Shu Ha Ri.
Better late than never I did visit Japan, and I ended up writing the book on Shu Ha Ri.
There was a lot of value in that one short note.

@thorstenzoeller ‘a minimum viable note’ - that’s exactly what it is. It’s slightly more effort than the standard approach of just writing something down, but only slightly.

@mjkaul I’m very happy to hear you’ve benefitted from taking a Zettelkasten approach to writing. Like all these things, there’s no ‘rule’ about giving a note a title, but I’ve found it to be a helpful practice.
