Over the past few years, as I’ve read books and written articles, I’ve periodically taken the time to reflect on where I’ve dedicated my attention. The goal is to find a feedback loop that tells me what I’m actually interested in versus what I think I’m interested in. New tools for knowledge management have made this easier to do. I wrote about this in [Getting to Philosophy with Roam Research]({% post_url 2020-08-09-getting-to-philosophy-with-roam-research %})
That is the promise of Roam: that I could discover and validate the main concern(s) of all my thinking and note-taking. That after a few years of using Roam as the operating system for my thinking, I could take a step back and see what note or handful of notes is at the center of it all.
I expect these concerns will change over time. The current list is presented below, in no particular order.
