Chatting in front of a whiteboard for two hours

Write down what you remember and get out of your mouth in the order you remember it later.

Once you understand the composition of the game, you can’t enjoy the game.

Some information is difficult to distribute.

What are some tips for good intellectual production? - There are no silver bullets.

  • Answers to general questions are more abstract.
  • for example
    • You just have to mess around a lot.
      • Increase the number of times you go to bat
    • MVP
    • PDCA cycle
    • We hear it so much that it’s hard to hear, because it really is the truth.
      • After all, “Exercise is a good way to get rid of obesity.”
        • There is no such thing as a good diet.
    • Conceptual ability is the ability to limit problems
    • 構想力は問題を限定する能力.icon
    • Creating a more narrowly focused question is necessary before getting an answer.

Organization with strong intellectual productivity

Some things can be financed with money and some can’t. - Difficult-to-procure resources

Personally, I can follow the record of associations of what I’ve already thought about and a network of knowledge allows me to move fast, but if I stay within that network, there’s no return for me.

  • Uncle just saying what he associates with.

    • human-vector search engine
  • I’m hoping to get new information and expand my network?

  • When I was younger than you are now, I was more inclined to do so, but I think it’s weakening.

    • Uh, that one.
    • My physical body is foreseen to be in decline in 20 years.
    • As a result, the boundaries of “me” are changing.
      • I am the sum total of the information that has been made public.
    • Planting information (=a part of me) in another young, creative body is like bamboo extending its underground stem into another land
    • You’re moving away from the physical body of the self in the way you emit your desire to grow.
  • In other words, it has changed from “the addition of new information to my physical body” to “the addition of new information to a body of knowledge (which I initially made public but which has lost its clear boundaries due to the involvement of various people).

  • Blurring of organizational boundaries

Sources.

  • I’m losing time and energy to read books, and that’s not good.
  • I’m tired and lazy on Twitter, not good.
    • I just hit the bookmark button and didn’t write it in Scrapbox.
    • The wider the source as randomizer, the better.
    • No clarification of collection criteria, etc.
    • The new is outside the delineated boundaries.
  • Delve into your interests until you are satisfied.

I liked having a white board.

  • There are certain types of concepts that are expensive to communicate when verbalized, but less expensive when illustrated.
  • On the other hand, it’s hard to come up with “I see something about that in Scrapbox” in a verbal discussion.
    • Well, when I tell them, they’re not going to read it on the spot.
  • In other words, the whiteboard and verbal communication is a “communication festival,” a meeting to shake things up, break down boundaries of thought, and introduce new perspectives, after which each person may need a phase to deepen their distributed asynchronous thinking.
  • I guess we need another meeting to bring it up afterwards.

I wrote this so far on the train on the way home, so no graphical thinking.


  • smoothing (e.g. numbers)

    なめらか化.icon
  • Boosting exponential growth

    指数的成長の後押し.icon
  • I thought there might be a J-curve.

    • Jカーブ.icon
  • Of course, theoretically there is.

    • image

    • Possibly a curve like B.

    • but it is agnostic because it is in the future

    • It’s hard mentally to spend S’s “uninteresting time” trying to get to B when there’s an A curve in front of you.

    • Is it also influenced by the fact that my KPI in life is to maximize the good times in my life?

  • PS - Better off investing in a new S-curve. - 新しいS字曲線に投資した方が得.icon

    • In the past, I’ve thought about this.
      • So the difference is whether you think the curve grows exponentially or sluggishly in an S-curve fashion.
      • Basically, history has been a series of S-shaped developments.
      • Exponential growth during the first half even with S-shaped
      • I think we’re in the early stages of a avalanche of social changes triggered by the development of LLMs in the current cross-section of June 2024 that will change things in a chain of events, so I guess my perception of it as an exponential function is getting stronger in my mind.
    • Further added 2024-08-03
  • Can’t the person who started on B first build barriers to entry and switch from A to B when A is about to be overtaken?

    • Or can the A’s compress the cost that the B’s chose to pay in the S’s time?

    • In the area of technology, for example, tools that were not well documented in the early days and had to be used through trial and error while reading and interpreting source code, are documented as they develop and later become easy to use.

      • Documentation is an easily transferable resource
    • On the other hand, the mental model built by that hardship s difficult to transfer resources

      • There are things that can be done by people who have this mental model and can do it “this way,” but can’t be done by people who entered the market after the library was in place.
    • image

      • Mr. P, who uses Tool X as a black box, doesn’t develop thoughts.
      • Q who understands what’s in it, does he develop thoughts?
        • By what mechanism?
        • Like, “I should be able to change the ‘C’ to a ‘C’.”
  • Expanded reproduction in social capital

  • When you wrote this, you implicitly assumed your own pattern of m

    • In this story, I am not the M pattern.
    • I think I’m S.

  • Relay information to the source when the mediator observes a demand

    • Communication of information without market distribution
  • But this diagram seems a little off to me.

    • S is too passive.
    • Well, it’s non-committal.
  • image

    • First of all, I was originally one of the S’s.
    • M was an active relationship builder with many Ss.
      • My job was as a consultant, so there must have been a lot of demand on the other side that S. couldn’t see from me.
      • I think they were trader by observing the demand, then selecting the appropriate supply, consulting with them, getting advanced technical knowledge that was not distributed in the market, and then returning it to the demand side.
  • It started out like that, with a non-committal engineer getting involved with a consultant with strong involvement skills, and then I, who understood the value of getting involved, actively engaged in the act of getting involved, and that’s how the first figure came to be.

Abstraction of interesting concrete examples - interesting - unpredictability - blind spot - Close Cycle - サイクルを閉じる.icon - This specific case itself is not that useful. - I saw this tweet and thought, “I see, I never thought of that idea.” - Then why didn’t I have the idea, something was missing, what was it that I was missing? - Abstraction. - image - The original one connects A and C by cutting out B as the middle man. - Pointing out that “only different parities can be connected” is an assumption. - The rest of the article says, “One person can have both parities.” - Pointing out that “either/or parity” is an assumption. - I’ve been thinking of things that aren’t parity as parity. - You are making the mistake of assuming that attributes that are not transgressions are transgressions. - # Blind Spot Card Candidate

I never finished reflecting on the two-hour meeting.

  • Because it’s growing while we’re looking back.

There’s a vein of gold at the end of the dig.

  • Nothing.
  • A little something.
    • When you dig, you hit a big vein of gold.
  • I’m not passionate about it, but I dig it because I was told to dig it.
    • It’s not my fault if I dig and find nothing.
    • It’s my boss’s fault for telling me to dig here, not mine.
    • Give me my paycheck for all the digging I do.
    • Do you need to dig in with passion?

    • I remember drawing a similar picture.
  • It was there, but a little different.

How deep do you dig into your interests and how far do you need to dig to be effective as a “specialty”?

  • Processing to live ammunition.
    • Making the card usable.
  • What is a real bullet and what is a usable card?

supercooling metaphor.

  • Crystals grow all at once with random stimuli.
  • There’s no point in stimulating a lot of uncooled water.
  • The “cold state” is important. - Parable of the New Combination and the Surface of the Water - It is pointless to create only bonding when there is no difference in the water surface.

[Connecting the Dots - Opportunities for decision-making are a dime a dozen.

  • The value is determined by Retrospective after the results are in.

Enrichment increases the probability of bonding occurring.

I don’t know where to look to acquire what I don’t know now.
