Desperate bid for control over all our to-dos has led to an obsession with productivity for productivity's sake

I feel like being socially adept and charismatic are different from being able to communicate clearly and effectively.

The former comes from intrinsic self-belief and acceptance, as well as genuine curiosity about the people you interact with.

Clear communication is more of a skill that you could learn from a book or guide. It depends on if you want to write or speak convincingly - writing structured arguments is definitely one way to clarify your thoughts and organize them in a logical way. This guide from Animalz provides one great persuasive writing model: https://www.animalz.co/blog/bottom-line-up-front/ In terms of interacting with a team and leading different types of personalities, I like the business classic Five Dysfunctions of a Team: https://a.co/d/jc3UExI

It's not a complete disengagement. Your brain is a processor, just like an NLP is. It takes in various inputs and rearranges them and makes connections. Taking in the input of your knowledge base as you write is not about replacing your thinking, it's about jogging your memory, stirring up your thoughts. It's like working with an editor, or pair-programming, or even just taking a walk to let things settle.

I wrote the article, and am personally extremely interested in this angle. What would happen to writing if we could directly transfer ideas without any kind of mediation? Would we need to "translate" at all? Would we still want to write for the beauty of it, and read for the meaning it adds to our lives?

Slite's a knowledge base tool(similar to N*tion) so the idea is that all your internal documentation already lives there.

(and yes, there is an import feature for the aforementioned other tool).

totally - info overload is already a huge problem, and only going to get worse.

Yep, yet another post on AI and the future of content creation.

Looking at it from a different angle - what if AI could search your internal docs, and help you problem-solve? Aka help you exploit past knowledge to inform future decisions?

The hope: GPT will democratize creation, not fill the internet with shitty articles.
