I took advantage of the holidays to finally clean up my Obsidian-powered exobrain / mind garden / digital zettelkasten. It has a modest initial set of ~200 notes which constitute a "cabinet of curiosities" (or Wunderkammer) of sorts for me, with an initial bias toward cognitive pitfalls, mental models, and empirical laws. Each note is meta-tagged and citations follow the APA convention. I have followed Wikipedia's convention of top-level academic disciplines (applied, formal, natural, and social sciences; and, humanities), and created my own subcategories down to level 4 as I saw fit. One of my resolutions this year is to keep expanding this library by recording insightful ideas and meaningful quotes that I come across through personal reflection, conversations, and reading. You can access the site here: https://publish.obsidian.md/aviationdoctor/Index Feedback welcome! In particular, I'm interested in collaboratively expanding the "List of sources" article with more insightful online references.

Are you using the web clipper? That's a game changer for saving web content that you can link. Unfortunately, I haven't made it work with Ollama for automatic tagging, but I should be able to. It might be because I'm trying to do it on my company laptop, and they have strange rules regarding local hosts.

This is great. While I use Notion, I've migrated most of my entries to Obsidian and can say I used it more than the former after being a heavy Notion user for the last 5 years. One aspect I struggle with is creating an environment where I'm reminded to revisit my past notes and entries. I know some ideas are more or less ephemeral, but I'm also conscious of writing something and intentionally revisiting it later. I'm sure there's a yaml template or plugin out there that solves this, but I'm curious how/if you have a system to revisit your entries, or if you adhoc that approach when searching?

Neat! Only thought is maybe organic emergence might be worth exploring via tags or whatever in addition to the architecture you propose here at the start
