    I used to write diaries at the age of 9... And all I write is just a bunch of negative emotions because as a kid, I was neglected by my parents, and I don't really get any attention... And when I was 9 I used to think about death. Because I really don't feel like I exist (I feel abnormal as a kid). But now I'm 16, all my life I dedicated to my writings. I started writing journals at the age of 13.. Instead of writing negative emotions I write positive ones, and it really helped me a lot.. Now I'm 16, I'm planning of having an argument journal because I have a lot of arguments in my head.. Just mentally curious about a lot of things... This really helped me inspired and motivated to write more thank you so much ❤

      You know what? U can still write about death, it's philosophy! I have the same story and childhood as you, except i never wrote out of fear of it getting read by my parents. Like I said, suicidal thoughts as u mentioned, made me curious about death and afterlife, past lives, rebirth etc. I've been reading several books, several sources, videos, articles etc to know more about it. I've referred to different religions and their own philosophy and wordings. It's really satisfying. Hopefully, someday ill finally figure death and it's effects.

    Very inspiring. I don't know what you would call it, but for the past 4 years I've kept journals I refer to as my "thought books" (to which my friends snicker at the name). They're essentially written collections of whatever pops in my head at the time. Be it poems, dialogue, song ideas/lyrics, love letters, journal entries, philosophical musings, quotes, etc. Any idea worth writing down will be in those books. Sure they could be more organized, but I've found them to be more interesting to read back because of the variety. I'd recommend trying it out for anyone who finds straight journal and poetry books to be too intimidating

    I remember reading how Ludwig Von Beethoven would take daily walks in the park near his home. While taking his daily walks he would get inspirational musical stanzas. He would return to his home and write these stanzas in a notebook and use some of these stanzas composing his music. Upon his death there were hundreds of these notebooks. This method can be used in a number of different ways.

    I love the messiness of your writing and notesbooks. I used to bullet journal and it always stressed me to see other people with amazingly beautiful notebooks. I can't really draw and I don't want to spend hours to make it look nice, so I stopped. It's kind of stupid but I feel like seeing your notebooks gives me a permisson to get rid of my washi tape and ruler and not to worry how my notebooks looks like.

      Omg. So agree. I was to the point that I couldn't even break into a new journal for fear of messing it up with my handwriting and drawing. Now I know that it doesn't have to look perfect. In fact, the messy handwriting reminds me of writers of old with all their scribbles but great thoughts. It has Personality of a human being not perfection of PowerPoint presentations.

      I can transfer them (like the recipes), write about them in my journal, etc.

    You helped me reignite a spark I thought I'd never get back and I couldn't be more grateful.
    I'm MA student in history and philosophy. I did double majors during my BA, with philosophy being the one I first started with. I used to feel such hunger and excitement for philosophy. Learning about new concepts and seeing how I might fit them together in original ways brought me immense joy and inspiration.
    But in the past 2 or 3 years, I lost the spark. I was overworked and on top of that, I realised history was what I wanted to pursue in life. Through that, I started to feel as if philosophy was pointless. I listened to my lecturers and hardly forced myself to participate, because it all started to feel as if philosophy was just this bubble, completely detached from the real world, and because of that, useless. I started to believe that I'm not good at philosophising, and that I don't even like it at all. I remembered how it used to feel, but I couldn't feel it anymore.
    I almost can't believe that a youtube video was what brought it back for me. I watched it three days ago and after that, I read philosophy for fun, I wrote down my ideas, I dissected them. I drove to the store to get myself a nice notebook. The feeling has returned. A thousand times - thank you!

    This video has helped me learn what I've been doing for the past year,and now I'm going to transfer all the blank word documents with bullet points on into a 'deep thinking journal', then write the essay 🙌🏽.

      Nothing wrong with pretty journals, however it's just.. not for everyone. I used to try and make mine pretty but it takes so much time and effort, i used to spend hours without actually writing. Just making stickers or decorations for the purpose of making it pretty. Recently, when I discovered commonplace books I've figured that you don't need them to be pretty! Im still a perfectionist tho, so I just stick to a few elements of my style which make my nb look like it's mine and feels mine.

For stimuli-driven brainstorming, 2 or 3 or 4 prefab boxes in each column, each box with an idea stimulus as a writing prompt and the option to jump between boxes. Moreover, a large modular set of thinking tools on a corkboard in front of my desk - how to set a focus for the next "unit of thinking", how to ask questions, how to reflect, how to identify obstacles, how to generate new ideas, how to criticize, how to view things from new perspectives and lots of other stimuli.

    I've always been very notebook-oriented, but I forced myself to stick to digital mediums as they were supposed to be more "efficient". But does that even matter when you don't even use those commonplaces you've set up in Obsidian or Notion? Since I found your channel, around 1 month ago, I've implemented basically all the notebook types you show here, plus others I deemed necessary for my personal use. You present ideas I haven't seen around here on YT, at least not so well explained. Not like I'm too much into the YT notebooks niche, I confess, as I find it sort of repetitive, yet certain videos of yours have been revealing and a good watch. So far, I already can see results in my thinking process and depth, and how I propose more valuable thoughts/questions/ideas. Unlike digital mediums, using notebooks is the perfect fit for me; I carry them around all the time, like a baby carries their toys. I've rewatched this video many, many times, just like your recent pocket notebooks video (also amazing). I can't wait for your video on commonplace books. I hope it's very informative and surely is interesting.

    About 10 years ago I used to write a notebooks or random pieces of paper, and I loved reading them and seeing the different things that I thought of. But then one day I decided to digitalize everything. It just seemed much simpler for reorganizing for keeping things. And I've been doing that for 10 years. I have different documents for random quotes that I like or from things that come from myself. But it's not the same. And there is a uniqueness when you write something and your own handwriting. Unfortunately I have damage in my hands so My writing is very hard to read. Now that I use stuff digitally speech to text works but there's a lot of errors there as well. I like the organization of digital journaling. My pocket notebook is basically my phone. But I do like the personalization of a hand notebook. Trying to think of how I could change things and incorporate stuff again in one way or another

    7 months ago I bought a planner b/c it was the nightmare before christmas themed and it was on clearance. To say it has changed my life is a bit of an understatement. So here I am, patiently waiting for my scheduled planner day to set up for 2024; struggling as i've realized I have graduated to 4 various writing books. One for wood working projects, one for daily planner, one for big feelings, and one for business related activities. After only a few months with my big feelings journal and well, lets be honest, I've already finished writing in one book and tucked away for my kids to find long after I am gone. I love having an area to get out all my big feelings, but SIR! here I am freaking ready to go break into wm on the one day of the year they are closed so that I can go get yet another book to write down all the philosophy ideas I have. I had no idea what a rabbit hole I would progress down by buying a simple planner on clearance.

    I probably won't keep this many books. For me it would just get too overwhelming characterizing everything. I did that with my drawing books and just categorising everything and it just made me stop drawing in those completely.
    I'm not saying you shouldn't keep these many books but rather that they just don't work for me.
    Tho I'm definitely gonna buy a diary and a journal. Cuz as you say, I don't get difficult thoughts every single day abt why I'm feeling this or feeling lost in life.tho they come by atleast twice a week. So gonna just keep a diary for everyday writing and just how I felt and what I shoulve done better. And a journal for ideas I have, why do I do this, why am I like this.

I think getting these thoughts out of my head onto paper would help me greatly. Not to mention how models can be attacked by malicious actors, e.g., posioning. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on AI and have the AI and God podcast episode in my queue. Appreciate ya!

I'm really interested in and terrifying by adversarial attacks where someone exploits the goofy problems that arise from deep neural nets only working with syntax and not understanding what's going on. Like changing a pixel in a picture and throwing the whole system off even though the picture looks exactly the same to the human eye. Scary stuff!

    Thank you so much. I am a late bloomer when it comes to processing myself through books. I love processing my thoughts and feelings. I rather spend time for wisdom than earning money. I am not ready to work, most especially in Sales because it seems that when one appreciates being a lover of wisdom, one would consider earning money and being a Lover of Gain - non sense for a while. I just don't need money for now since I really don't consume much. My family is feeding me, giving shelter and supports me in being an academic writer of Math. I can see value to my time when I study Maths, Philosophy and Psychology. Hence, I consider myself - a late bloomer as a lover of wisdom. What do you think? Why am I not a lover of money, lover of gain now that I have discovered the joy of reading, studying and writing (publishing Math vlogs and Math teaching materials). Thanks again for being a great UA-cam educator. It guides us aspiring Philosophers. God bless you always. #from Cebu, Philippines

    Man I feel this comment section. I used to love writing in my teens and then I just...sort of stopped. Got swept up by life, I suppose. Now I'm 32 and have written maybe a handful of times since 20 and I really think it's because I hate my handwriting and always feel like a notebook, or journal has to be organized/aesthetically pleasing, or that only a final, complete thought or statement should be written in it. All out of fear of ruining the notebook, or that someone will find my writing and laugh or think I'm weird. I have so many thoughts and feelings that I've compacted into my mind from the past 14 years and I just want to put them out of my mind and onto to paper so they don't weigh me down any longer and I can actually look at and hold them and reflect and grieve and learn and laugh and grow.
    Maybe I'll write a poem tonight. I used to love writing poems.

    As for the AI discussion I believe some of the praise/blame can go towards the creators of the datasets that are used to train the AI. So this could be authors, artists, scientists, researchers and social media creators. Yes, the programmer did a lot of work, but without these creators the programmer wouldn't have anything to feed to the AI bot.
