Per Pinker:

The confusion of the activities of your guild, profession, or field with the subject matter designed to deal with.
#+end_quote

- coined by Steven Pinker from his book, "The sense of style"
- focuses on an unrelated thing of your study or activity
- some examples
  + in film, instead of focusing what movie is about, they boast about the sales or views
  + in media, "cover the coverage", a problem leading to echo chambers
  + in learning, instead of focusing what and why of a note-taking method, they focus on the possible effects of your productivity
- this could also happen on yourself
  + in note-taking, you may focus on the number of notes instead of the quality of each notes
  + in programming, you may boast how the program is fast instead of making sure the program is usable
Create entries on potential traps on learning Ehh... Why I didn't think of those things but here we are. They are going to stay for a little while. Also, there's a slight shift in how I want use my wiki now. Instead of trying to craft every note into a set of evergreen notes. While Andy Matuschak's notes are very practical, it also focuses too much on crafting evergreen notes (a bit too much). Or maybe that was just my impression? Either way, I'll let some of my thoughts to drift if it able to link somewhere in the notes. I think I'm getting the point of Luhmann's original use of Zettelkasten as a research partner. 2021-05-20 13:58:54 +00:00			`:PROPERTIES:`
