He’s been on my radar for a year, and I’ve just started reading more of his stuff. Suspicion that he might be me from the future. He’s all about the process and design of the info flow and doesn’t sell a memex tool. Big ideas: find what you need when the time is right, new organic connections, your second brain should surprise you, progressive summarization.
Andrew Louis: I’m building a memex
This guy takes the memex as a way of life. Self-proclaimed digital packrat, he’s got every chat log since highschool saved, always has his gps on and records that location, and basically pours all of his digital data into a massive personal database. He’s been developing an app for himself (partially for others) to manage and interact with this. This goes waaaaaaaay beyond note taking. I’d binge more of his stuff if I wanted to get a sense for the emergent revelations that could come from intense memexing.
Conor both has a beta-product, and many ideas about how to organize ideas. Inspired by zettlekasten (post about zettlekasten, was the name of a physical note card system used by Niklas Luhmann). Check out his white paper for the philosophy
