As I mentioned, I started this public vault after taking part in the Expertsession1 of LYT-Workshop 15. In this session we heard about:
- what is the purpose of your PKM
- it is not a technical purpose
- it is not about the deep meaning of life
- your PKM serves as an environment sets conditions of how we operate
How to Figure out the purpose of your PKM system
a) What you collect —books, notes
b) Big ideas you’re always curious about
c) Your chosen PKM Personality and where it shows up in your PKM
d) How you want to feel in your days
e) Things you’ve already done - You in Review, assessments, writing
f) A favourite quote or poem

- Only a few things matter.
- It’s about… But it’s really about…
- Here’s what I want you to know
- I don’t know what to say about my purpose
- I’m not going to apologize for
Only few things matter

So it happened that I posted a link to a speech in the LYT-community. I got taken down. It was deemed to political. And I am wondering, is even in the thinking space no space for controversial topics. I think the speech had its value, it was against mainstream in the west and europe. It was a fresh perspective on less state and not more state, as it developped over the last decades. I think, and maybe that is my buddhist thinking approach, the beginners mind is key to analyze those speeches. And I think there is value in disecting a speech and it’s content. This reminds me of the teacher on YT and his videos about critical thinking with a student It also reminds me of the scene in the korean drama Misaeng, where the team chose to persue the business item everyone wanted to avoid and not talk about. They chose to break the rules of the company. “they set the table anew” by questioning the practice of the company to abandon items that caused a scandal. How? the team leader named those incidents one by one. All are shocked to hear the forbidden. Then he cotinues to show that those items were taken by other companies and they made profit and their stock price went up. After that the auditorium is silent. Realizing that it had follow a rules that hurt the financials of the company by avoiding it.
They reframed in the minds of the audience, they changed the perception of an item involved in a scandal. And so they got the permission to go for it.

A Poem that resonated with my metaphor and PKM
I made Pensieve Poem with the help of ChatGPT to prime my mood when working in my PKM.
