The ideas folder is one of my favorite places because it has umami. Apparently umami is one of the five basic tastes. There are: Sweetness, Sourness, Saltiness, Bitterness—and that oddball Umami.
Umami is hard to describe but you know when it’s there. The same is true of this folder’s contents. It’s a mixture of insights and ideas, concepts and connections, all mingling together to create that mysterious full mouthfeel that magnificently completes any meal for the mind.
Q: So, what are “ideas”? Anything that is a bit of knowledge that you might call a “thing” or a “statement about things”.
Yes, the definition is not rigid, but it works.
Information that crosses our attentional filter becomes knowledge.
