knowledge should be free or very affordable, abundant, and readily available. we can act as the filter and summary agent of garbage information. do not rely on a.i. too much. use and train ur brain.

summarizing a great book or presentation in my own words without loosing meaning is a good idea for later review. pass the book to someone else if it is a good book. keep a copy in a digital format somewhere. i particularly like video presentations and audiobooks, because there is something in the tone of the presenter that really crystalizes the message, and the video/audio can be reviewed at 2x speed without sacrificing much of the "metadata."

otherwise, traveling light is an excellent idea! when i shop, if it doesn't fit in my hands, it is too much. when i travel, if it does not fit in the small car, it gets discarded. i get really good at packing and discarding.
