This is the best piece I know of to break people out of that mindset. If you can solve the meta meta meta problems you can solve all the problems.https://t.co/PegTOLffJB— Ryan Moulton (@moultano) April 27, 2021

For me, tools for thought is about seeing computers as having untapped potential for helping humans be more thoughtful, creative, and fulfilled in their intellectual pursuits.— Adam Wiggins (@_adamwiggins_) May 2, 2021

Seeking "tools for thought" has inspired visionary work throughout the history of computers.I believe we already have a tool for thought: *programming*. It just sucks. If we could uncover the simplicity of programming it would become a tool for thought. https://t.co/acRaKfCTcO— Jonathan Edwards (@jonathoda) May 4, 2021
yeah, now that I think about it, it feels like a missed opportunity that desktop computing doesn't have any notion of... computations... on your desktop, just dead files and folders— Omar Rizwan (@rsnous) May 10, 2021
If you like computational geometry but aren’t up on your math, check out this 1895 book that describes everything in terms of drawing steps. https://t.co/le1rpnvjED pic.twitter.com/Ylgyd5puu9— Steve Ruiz (@steveruizok) May 9, 2021
Feel constantly torn between an instinctive tendency towards particularity/incommensurability and respect for the power of generalization.@rsnous's periodic sponsor emails are consistently some of my favorite new-media reading.

I recalled that I still owe you that history of computing article a few days before. I assure you its still in the making.But for now, here is an answer from Alan Kay:https://t.co/IHHesqXxBC— Prathyush (@prathyvsh) May 13, 2021
This is building on some of the patterns that I used in https://t.co/dHmVc4t1P5: a normal design canvas space and a code editor that can be used to create things on the canvas.— Steve Ruiz (@steveruizok) May 16, 2021

"Grok TiddlyWiki" is a very interesting new textbook by Soren Bjornstad. It's a TiddlyWiki-format book about using TiddlyWiki deeply, with lots of hands-on activities in the environment. It also implements a TW-native mnemonic medium! https://t.co/FyWt5IkKba— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) May 27, 2021

Search is the biggest scam in UI now. It almost never works. How do you find stuff that is not in your top 10 results of mini snippets? We need more explorative interfaces taking advantage of context and association. pic.twitter.com/RC1BEekf3X— Marcin Ignac (@marcinignac) June 4, 2021
Hm, interesting. I guess I don't feel that a missing shared definition is a problem! Is there something in particular (other than the archaic "man") you find outdated in Engelbart's '62 definition? pic.twitter.com/SNKm2XUmAg— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) June 6, 2021
