Interesting. I prefer to use emergent "categories" rather than a predetermined set. Similar to how Luhmann did it originally. Most of my top-level cats are pertaining to my Grand Theory of Optimal Education but this is not a rule. Additionally, I do indeed get away from the topical content the further down I go naturally. 7 = Lifelong Learning 71 (or 7.1 for readability) = Reading 71/1e2 = Intellectualism vs. Learning with regards to critical analysis and thinking 71/1e2a = Original Thought I could've created original thought as its own branch but I found it related enough to a card on reading I made (particularly with regards to intellectualism) to insert it there. Warm regards, Mr. Hoorn

Matthew van der Hoorn So, you are instantly in the meta-world of having to grapple with making a choice while you are still defining the meaning and the criteria of choosing. My world is far simpler. A thought is worth including if it is delightful to think about. If I put my academic hat on, I would still use the same criteria, even while recognizing that not all delightful thoughts are publishable. I would hold onto the hope that delightful thoughts lead to original contributions, which, after some delay, might well be publishable.... in case that helps.
About the originality of thought.
Reply to me:
Kathleen Spracklen An example would be useful there. Future video?
I am grappling the difficult concept of what constitutes an "original thought". I think it is easy to grasp conceptually, but once you start thinking about it formally and try to put it to words, it becomes very confusing.
Although this might be my own experience and not that of others.
The reason I am trying to think about it is for my current research project on intellectualism.

KS keeps a bibliography section for her own works... Interesting, very useful.

Doesn't this method of bib-card IDs get cumbersome to write? I simply use the author's last name... In the case of Adler it would be "Adler/1" and "Adler/1(b)" for the bib-card... Referencing the source on a main note would be "Adler, page number" If I then read another source by Adler, for example "Intellect: Mind over Matter" which I plan to read, it would be "Adler1/1", "Adler1/1(b)" and "Adler1, page number" Seems much easier to remember for me, and also more readable.

Kathleen Spracklen keeps an index specific to the bibliography, detailing all the works in the bib-box. This is quite useful, and an index card is not too big to need alphabetical sorting, which would be cumbersome on paper.
I will adopt this practice most likely.
The additional benefit is that you can see which bib-card IDs you have already used, preventing duplicate entries.
-
The people box is used to: - Keep collections of authors and their works located within the bib-box - Keep cards on other people than sources in the book Such as friends and contacts.
Useful to see at a glance how many sources you have read from an author and what the author writes a lot about.
Also useful to find the bib-card codes for any particular work by an author.

Hello Mr. Hoorn, How great to have a fellow Antinetter. Thank you for your kind greeting. I used the sticky notes because I wanted to be able to show you certain pages that caught my interest when I was pre-reading. After recording my podcast I took them all out. I should have mentioned that. Thank you for pointing that out.

I notice you put sticky markers into the book... Two questions. A) Does this not take too much effort/time for an inspectional read a la Adler? B) What is the purpose of the sticky markers? Warm regards, Mr. Hoorn -- Fellow Antinetter

Kathleen recommends as part of an inspectional reading to find out who the author is. This is valuable and I believe not something Adler & van Doren mentioned in their book.
Knowing who the author is gives more context to the book and potentially some information about credibility.
Will implement this.

It appears she put some sticky notes at important points/structure references while reading inspectionally...
Does this not take too much effort/time for an inspectional read a la Adler?
