  • Yeah; it feels a little naive to think “bad associations with the word” come from past-tense propaganda instead of current-tense propaganda.

    Like, nobody cares if you say “mother-fucker” anymore; and that was unthinkable, what, two decades ago? Less?

    Without active, current, pervasive propaganda about the ‘bad intentions’ of the left, the word ‘communist’ would also lose stigma in the U.S. within a similar timeframe.

    (I’m open to being told I’m wrong about this …)



  • I’ve been turned on to Notion by work, and now use it for my lil’ polycule as well — but I do want something … better.

    Unfortunately both logseq and Obsidian have way, way too much of a “text” focus for me, even with plugins; and way too little of a “data” focus — the real potential strength of Notionalikes is definitely in deep database features and integration; not ‘this is only useful if you type at a full keyboard for hours.’ At least to me. 🤣

    I’m pretty excited about http://anytype.io; but it’s in perpetual development/beta — still kinda barebones. It’s definitely got the correct focus, though? Chunks of data, not “articles” or “pages!”
