up:: [[Thinking Vault]] tags:: #map # Concepts MOC *A concept is a pattern, truth, or mechanism that has been given a name.* Just like the primordial goop that collided together billions of years ago to spark life on earth, so do these **conceptual** collisions spark exciting and diverse ideas. ## Powerful Concepts Why not string out these ideas into paragraphs? Come back once in a while and rewrite these. As I gathered more abundance, the questions I find myself asking have shifted away from "What", "How", and towards "Why". Perhaps it is true that once basic survival is taken for granted, we naturally progress towards the arts. Keep in mind [[The Meaning of Life]] that I derived. Starting some days, I'll consider how to apply three *strategic* mental models: [[OODA Loop]], [[Levels of Magnification]], and [[Refraction Thinking]]. I know to improve at anything requires [[Deliberate Practice]], which involves getting [[Reps]], creating the conditions for [[Flow]], which involves environmental [[Forcing Function|Forcing Functions]]. [[Natural Selection]] is one of the mega-concepts. It helps me decipher the signal from the noise through the mechanism of considering the [[Lindy Effect]], along with [[Hormesis]] and [[Antifragility]]. --- ### Unrequited notes These notes point directly to this note. But this note doesn't point back. This is the strongest contextual query. ```dataview LIST FROM [[Concepts MOC]] and !outgoing([[Concepts MOC]]) and -#map SORT file.link asc ``` ### Possibly relevant, currently unmentioned notes These notes have the tag `#concept`, and are not mentioned above—but could be relevant. This is a nicely fuzzy contextual query. ```dataview LIST FROM #concept and !outgoing([[Concepts MOC]]) SORT file.link asc ``` --- Back to: [[Thinking Vault]]
