Knowing [[id:25fb4ebf-2cc4-40fe-93ad-37a79aedfb41][The basics of memory]], our neurons represent more like a web of thoughts.
Innovation often comes from combining aspects from a network of ideas (see [[id:af581713-d4a8-438a-84ea-9f3b8e1353e6][Creativity does not mean originality]]).
Our brain is good at relating each topic with something else.
To exemplify the point further, try to start at a single word and make a word map around it.

This is subtly present in daily life mostly filled with links from one thing to another.

- Most conversations — e.g., "X is just Y but better", "Cuphead is the Dark Souls of run-and-gun", "Markdown is simplified HTML", "Lenen is Touhou but harder".
- In marketing — e.g., "This is just Y but cheaper", use cases presented as a narrative, comparison with other products, our tendency to equate price to quality.
- In learning — e.g., "FANBOYS" to describe the English conjunction words, "Every good boy does fine" to describe the notes placed in the lines of the music sheet.
- Nostalgia — e.g., whenever we walked into an old place, we may remember the olden days.

When knowing a new topic, we strive to compare between the new and the familiar things.
[[id:c0e4fb0e-68f2-4db4-8c3e-f5a7845738c3][Understanding comes first from memory]] including the things we already know.
We are desperate to create a hook between the new and the old as we have an inherent understanding that newer ideas are built on top of other ideas.

However, [[id:ff0d49d3-e0b3-45fe-8964-0af611eaa20f][We are more structured than associative]] at times.
We do need some order to make some sense.

Improve notes on learning and creativity I simply moved some sections around and put them that are more appropriate and improved formatting on some parts. 2021-07-08 23:43:11 +00:00			`Innovation often comes from combining aspects from a network of ideas (see [[id:af581713-d4a8-438a-84ea-9f3b8e1353e6][Creativity does not mean originality]]).`

Make revisions on the skill-related notes In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how learning works from the act of managing your information through various note-taking methods. I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better. That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also org-roam v2 is better, after all. :) 2021-05-19 16:13:41 +00:00			`This is subtly present in daily life mostly filled with links from one thing to another.`
