The process of thinking about what "thinking" means
Basic approach:.
→Look for examples of using "think" as a keyword on your Scrapbox.
→Two used "think" itself, and four used keywords containing "think."
There is already a page with "think" as a link.
When you get the word, you can use that word to do thinking. Words are tools for thinking.
Engelbart held that language is a means by which individuals break down their perceptions of the world into "concepts" for modeling the world. Language maps symbols to these "concepts" and is used to consciously manipulate the "concepts. Consciously manipulating this concept, he believes, is "consider". What is a concept?
What is concept manipulation?
What does it mean that the operation of a concept is conscious?
A diligent person who spends a day wide (extensive) reading gradually loses the ability to think about things for himself. myself
"consider" is a concept equivalent to "join" in "[Rushing to output results in a degraded copy. There is a link that contains "think."
Name of Konosuke Matsushita's books
Subtitled "Proposing a New View of Humanity, Seeking the True Way of Man."
In other words, "think X" means
"Advocating a New View of X."
In Search of the True X Way."
This is just one specific example of an abstract I'm considering.
Specifically, I'm trying to envision specific participants and what they would like to talk about.
In this case, "thinking" means the following actions
Create a set of fragmented facts and stories to talk about.
Create pathways to connect them.
Write it down to make it disappear, then slowly figure out how to connect it.
This links to multiple pages
Write first instead of trying to write after you understand
Writing allows you to view your thoughts from a moment ago objectively.
View thoughts objectively
This is linked to [blind spot card
What did you want to happen by it?
Thinking develops by noticing blind spots.
It means [It is human beings who interpret oracles.
tarot Drawing cards is an "oracle-giving device." Whether or not it is actually an oracle is immaterial.
Breaking the stalemate of thought by trying to find a connection to the current situation by considering it to be an oracle
Just as placebo can be effective without actually having a medicinal effect. This "think dual" specifically means "map to the space of duals and think there".
It is a kind of mapping in analogy to metaphorical space, developing it there, and then pulling it back, if you discard whether it is a dual or not. impressions
The flow of this page itself is a concrete example of "thinking
summary
Engelbart, "Thinking = conscious manipulation of concepts."
An input merges with another input over time = the word is ripe
Schopenhauer called this "thinking," interpreted by Nishio
Nishio interprets Konosuke Matsushita's idea that "thinking X" means "creating a new way of looking at X."
Nishio calls it "thinking" to find the connections between the written fragments and create the appropriate story
Writing down thoughts objectifies them.
Concepts become consciously manipulable objects.

By writing it down and making it an object, you can get a different perspective on it.
Write down your thought process.
It does not directly solve another problem in the future, but it can be mapped by analogy
Mapping by analogy, developing, and pulling back provides a solution to a new problem
This realization that "the analogy holds" is "binding."
This page actually combines a number of previous pages
To summarize in one line.
If they happen to combine, they are called "noticed". Intentional attempts to cause coupling are "consider" This is Engelbart's "thinking = conscious manipulation of concepts."
There are a variety of specific ways to intentionally cause bonding.
Write down your thoughts so that you can objectify them and view them from a different perspective
Writing information out makes it indelible and allows it to be combined with another over time
Nowadays, by writing it down in a digital way, it can be found in a search.
There are ways to spread it out after the bonding has occurred.
Use analogical binding to map the problem to another space, develop it there, and then pull it back.
