https://www.actualized.org/insights/conservative-socrates  I recently read this post by Leo. It resonated with me so much since I am also hesitant to write things down for the same reason. Didn't know that it was such a conservative value lol.  Writing things down is slow, it takes effort and it doesn't help improve thinking. Worst of all, it gives you the impression that you have understood things even though you may have really not. Every text of information you need is available on the internet and you can search them up when you need to.  I have noticed that when I write down any insights I have it's like inducing a diluting effect onto my insights. Insights are meant to be constantly generated and even lost. If you have forgot something, you never really needed it in the first place. This is a philosophy by which I live by in my life. Learning things and forming connections are easier when you are directly observing things and retain them in your head. Thoughts?
