Thanks for another very helpful video! Only one question that appeared to me during watching is what is the difference between the index and the collective card (-1000)? Or what goes into the collective card that does not go to the index? Or is it doubled?

Great question. I like to think of the -1000 cards as Section Colletives. Basically at the beginning of a big section, it's a way to easily access and work with the table of contents for the section _without_ having to constantly have the Index Box in front of you. Those -1000 cards actually at one point lived in the Index under "Zettelkasten" but I moved them to 4214/-1000 after learning how Luhmann used Section Collectives. I found them easier to access at the beginning of the 4214 section. That's all. Preference really. Try both. For _big_ sections that serve as your primary focus, I recommend a Sectional Collective.

Luhmann's thoughts on society make me think of Harry Seldon.

Late to the guessing game here. I actually thought the tune you were singing was from the original Battlestar Galactica. With your analogue system, linking that thought to the reboot of BSG - where not being connected to everything else saved them. Will your Antinet be your salvation when the grid goes down?

this notebox really says a lot about society

Hello Scott. Can you please share with me the brands and models of pens you use. I like the look of the two in this video. I prefer ballpoints because the dryness of the ink suits my handwriting and I prefer a gray tone black ink or gray brown. I use Caran D’Ache wit their Goliath medium black ink which can be used on their 849 model pens but also on the one I used: Ecridor lights or sunlights in gold tone. I have tried so many pens and I always go back to the ballpoint pens from Caran D’Ache and Cartier. CD black ink is preferable became it is a bit lighter in shade but both pens can use the same cartridges and I think Cartier uses them in Geneva for their writing instruments. I damson have some fountain pens but they aren’t practical if you want to write fast. And I am trying to find one with an extra fine nib that isn’t scratchy. I am sure you have experimented too and I would appreciate any recommendations you may have. I don’t use your system despite the fact that it might be more useful than mine. I just use notebooks for different subjects with a table of contents at the beginning and index at the end. But I do have header, footer summary, margins on almost each page. I am sure you can find information faster but with my notebooks I review things within a bigger context and that seems to remind me of what I had written because my dumb brain gets more sluggish with time. I like your office in downtown SD and I am thinking about having a small office within a walking distance of my place which is in uptown Dallas. Take care buddy

@@scottscheper Thank you. MontBlanc pens are fantastic. I should go check out the non fountain ones they have. I wonder if having maybe the Kraft cover field notes notebooks in sets of 13-48-96 and so on could create a system that is similar to yours. I haven’t bought your book but will do soon.

12:32 ... if an author does not footnote items when necessary he runs the risk of being labeled a plagiarizer. without a footnote the world assumes an idea is the authors. one must footnote. it's not optional.
