This is how I am. The way I see it, knowledge will always exist somewhere in your multidimensional conceptual space, so as long as you keep adding more with some degree of diversity, it will eventually start to form clouds, clusters, and networks. My sense is that the problem will tend to solve itself over time.
- lionhearted 16y agoOne of my close friends was a researcher in neuroscience and memory, and I'll tell you - this just simply isn't true for the majority of people. Lots of stuff you input is just lost if you don't make a note or copy it down. If you come across a really valuable obscure piece of information, you really ought to make a note of it, especially if you're not likely to come across it again.
- Swizec 16y agoI've noticed this as well. However, once I note something down I might as well throw the piece of paper away. When I need the knowledge in a fuzzy way (obscure reference, seed of an idea etc.) it will just be there. If I need it specifically (like on an exam) noting it down or pretty much anything doesn't help, I have to study for the occasion and when I do my notes are too incomplete to be of help, I have to confer a more reliable source.
