My notes have always the same status \#ToBeImproved, ergo, that tag are useless. I can’t tell how many times I have delete a perfectly written, densely linked note because it is essentially naive or wrong. Think about an idea as *evergreen* falls in an epistemic trap: to think about truth as an inherent value of some fact, data or belief. Confusing *truth* with *reality* is a western bias with ancient roots, as an anthropologist I cannot accept it, because there are multiple, intriguing ways of knowing. Truth is a product made of a dense network of ideas, people, objects and history, framed inside an epistemic paradigm; changing the paradigm changes the values. It doesn’t matter if your vault is only about western medicine, thinking in a constructivist fashion will release new ways of intelectual \[sic] creativity.’ [[a_bahez, ‘A Brutalist Approach to Knowledge Management in Obsidian’, 2023|(a_bahez 2023, n.p.)]] ^07edd7
