* We have different knowledge consumption habits. I consume a lot of snippets on the internet during the day and then consume books via an eReader, which allows me to dump the highlights straight to Roam. He prefers purely physical books and takes his own notes instead of capturing direct quotes.
* He is visio-spatial and I am verbal. He needs to draw, move, and position things (whiteboards everywhere!). Roam is useless for this.
* I tend to do more convergent thinking - I take in a lot of info from a lot of sources which, when thinking about the problem, tends to snap into view for me as something new. This works well in Roam because I can reference/quote things from across many areas rapidly.
> The concept of the Knowledge Graph deserves the classification of bullshit because its allure derives primarily from the false impression that it can mechanistically deliver—or substitute for—the brute, linear willfulness that defines all non-trivial writing.
This particular critique stood out as a bit strange to me, and maybe it is simply a difference and how my brain and the author’s brain works, but writing is linear (on a page) but the content gathering and referencing is not, which is where I find it most helpful. I brute force the narrative/story, but fill in with the details more slowly and with more references.
