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. :)

We are more associative than structured
Knowing The basics of memory, our neurons represent more like a web of thoughts. Innovation often comes from combining aspects from a network of ideas. Our brain is good at relating each topic with something else.
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. 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.
