![How to Generate Insights with Your MOCs feat. Jeremy Gavin
In this video, youll learn how to turn any topic into valuable insights. This is a presentation by one of our members from the LYT Workshop, Jeremy Gavin.
Jeremy shares his results in focusing on one topic and deepening his insights around it using an MOC. That topic is on Aphorisms. What is an aphorism, and how are they like a horizon, and why do they require brilliance? And why is this presentation so fascinating? (Ill share my opinion why at the end).
Jeremy is also an avid fan of musical theatre and deathly scared of marionette puppets. A self-described internet hermit, Jeremy wanted to instead share a link to his favourite song performance of all time by Australian stage actor Philip Quast.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urxk4mveLCw.

Ive been shouting from the rooftops about the value and joy of note-making. It fills me with happiness that we are not alone. There are others out there who care about ideas and thinking and growing with their knowledge in countless similar yet different ways.
There are people across the globe. We are diverse but unified in some sort of general love towards sense-making.

IN THIS VIDEO: Maps of Content, Note size, Naming systems, Using tags or folders and other PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) related questions and answers, the Linking Your Thinking system, & using the Obsidian app. Please check the timestamps below for your reference. Enjoy!
[00:00] - What are the steps to creating an MOC?
[05:04] - Was the LYT Kit inspired by the Dewey decimal system?
[08:03] - Can the 5 emergence levels be constructed with folders vs links?
[09:59] - My impression is that a strong “naming system/pattern” is necessary to maintain the whole thing “living” and “fluid”, isn’t it ?
Would it be possible to have some hints?
[13:09] - Do you think you need to use a Zettelkasten ID?
[15:32] - Do you consider it appropriate to describe in the Home page and MOC not only the relationships between entities, but also the purpose of their existence — so that you can periodically check the clocks?
[16:57] - How long does it take for someone to develop all 5 levels?
[19:17] - Does one Start with Emergence 5 or Emergence 1
[20:22] - How do you use tags?
[23:40] - Is this started with a bottom up approach or top down?
[24:52] - What is the idea behind the numbering in the home note?
[25:21] - In your use case, how many folders are too many? How many tags are too many?
[26:11] - Do you (Nick) have thoughts about communities where folks can talk about their various ZK/garden/evergreen/vault/whatever knowledge/idea system? I know there are some spread around program forums and reddit, I’m curious if there are others.
[26:40] - Do you keep previous versions of your MOCs in case you want to go back?
[28:13] - How necessary is it to add numbers before the file name of MOCs, specifically for the major ones found in the home note?
[28:42] - If you break a note into two pieces, or sub notes, do you keep the original note too as a separate? Or do you edit that note too?
[30:10] - What to do about being too lazy to write down interesting ideas you come across?
