Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook 
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Professional narcissism

Per Pinker:

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

  • 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, neglecting certain aspects such as the purpose and the quality of the notes
    • in programming, you may boast how the program is fast instead of making sure the program is usable
