I've thought about this before but Obsidian and similar tools cannot be used under the context that text or digital documentation is triumphant of them all. There will always be a significance to handwritten methods, sensory tactile methods, that have no bearing on the flattening of a digital markdown file as a proxy for a fraction of those thoughts.

And that's okay. Computers are tools. They're not supposed to be able to replace what we experience.

It's ok that I can't perfectly transcribe my voice memos to capture every breath or murmur or incoherent grammar

They can stay voice notes. That's ok.

tonight I realized that the weird, awkward, fully-exposed, fully-dynamic desktop OS that smalltalk was integrated into (or mired in) is structurally the same thing as what emacs is to its elisp.

this morning I realized that it would be relatively easy to build a thin interpreter for smalltalk on top of ruby, because their view of the world is so fundamentally the same

what you’d end up with is everything that gnu-smalltalk was trying to do — get the language and object model of smalltalk without the desktop environment welded to it — but, y’know… workable.
