- Computers and the internet work basically by linking files to each other. - Our minds are much more fluid and our thinking much more abstract than that. - [[thinking is the process of navigating our knowledge graph to find interesting paths or associations between unrelated ideas]]. - That knowledge graph is made up of concepts, not files. - I think this is why [[🌲 atomic notes]] have been so useful for me — this is as close as I’ve gotten to one file = one concept = one node within my knowledge graph. - This aligns with my assumption that [[{} note-making is the future of information creation and consumption]]: an [[open hyperdocument system]] or something similar would allow us to freely publish, reference, share, transclude, annotate, etc. individual thoughts / concepts.
