I'm trying to escape my current job and need a refresh on my resume.

I am somewhat new to PKMs so I thought I'd have a bit of fun querying Gemini on workflow considerations. The outputs are interesting and fairly insightful. Hence, I'm posting here to share. Hopefully this will be a bit useful to other new-to-PKM readers.

Please summarize PARA, CODE, and Zettelkasten.

Here's a summary of PARA, CODE, and Zettelkasten, all helpful methods for managing information and knowledge:
PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives):

• Focus: Organization system for your digital life.
• Action-oriented: Categorizes information based on its actionability:
  
• Projects (P): Actionable steps to complete specific goals (writing a book, planning a trip).
  
• Areas of Focus (A): Ongoing aspects you want to improve (health, finances).
  
• Resources (R): Reference materials for future use (articles, ebooks).
  
• Archives (A): Items kept for sentimental reasons but not readily needed (old emails, photos).
  
• Benefits: Reduced clutter, improved focus, better decision-making.
  

CODE (Capture, Organize, Distill, Express):

• Focus: Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) workflow.
• Process-oriented: Represents the steps for managing information:
  
• Capture (C): Gather information from various sources (books, notes, etc.).
  
• Organize (O): Store and categorize the captured information.
  
• Distill (D): Process information by summarizing, reflecting, or connecting it to existing knowledge.
  
• Express (E): Put your knowledge to use (writing, teaching, decision-making).
  
• Benefits: Active knowledge management, promotes critical thinking and learning.
  

Zettelkasten (Slip Box):

• Focus: Note-taking system for building a connected knowledge base.
• Content-oriented: Focuses on creating atomic notes (focused on a single idea) and linking related notes together.
• Key features:
  
• Atomic notes: Single ideas on separate slips (digital or physical) for flexibility and recombination.
  
• Linking notes: Creates connections between related ideas for a growing web of knowledge.
  
• Benefits: Encourages deeper thinking, fosters new connections, supports research and writing.
  

Choosing the right system:

• PARA: Ideal for general information organization and action planning.
• CODE: Applicable to any PKM system, emphasizes the knowledge management process.
• Zettelkasten: Useful for building a deep understanding of complex topics and fostering creativity.

Ultimately, the best system depends on your individual needs and goals. You can even combine elements of these methods to create your own personalized knowledge management approach.

Are PARA and CODE methodologies mutually exclusive or are they complimentary?

PARA and CODE are actually complementary, not mutually exclusive. Here's why:

• PARA focuses on organization: It provides a simple framework for categorizing all your digital information based on its purpose (projects, areas of focus, resources, archives).
• CODE focuses on workflow: It outlines the steps involved in managing your knowledge, regardless of where that information lives. (capture, organize, distill, express)

Here's how they work together:

• You can use PARA to organize the information you capture in step 1 of CODE. For example, notes captured during research for a project (P) would go in your project folder, while an interesting article on a broader topic (R) would be saved in your resources section.
• The CODE steps of distilling and expressing your knowledge can be applied to information within any PARA category. You might distill notes from a resource (R) to create a summary in your project (P) folder, or express an idea from an area of focus (A) through a blog post.

Benefits of using them together:

• Improved knowledge management: By using PARA to organize and CODE to process, you create a system that's both efficient and effective.
• Flexibility: You can adapt both methodologies to your specific needs and preferences.
• Deeper understanding: Integrating PARA and CODE encourages active learning and critical thinking with your captured information.

In short, PARA provides the "where" and CODE provides the "how" for managing your knowledge. You can use them independently, but using them together creates a powerful system for personal knowledge management.

Where does zettelkasten fit in?

Zettelkasten fits into the world of PARA and CODE as a specific note-taking system that can be used within the CODE framework and potentially complement your PARA organization. Here's how:

• Alignment with CODE: Zettelkasten aligns well with the Capture and Distill steps of CODE. You can capture ideas and information as atomic notes in your Zettelkasten. The process of linking related notes in Zettelkasten also contributes to the Distill step by helping you make connections and see the bigger picture.
• Integration with PARA: While Zettelkasten doesn't directly map to PARA categories, you can use PARA to organize your Zettelkasten notes. For example, you could create a project folder within your Zettelkasten for a specific project and link relevant notes from your main Zettelkasten to that project folder.
• Focus of Zettelkasten: Zettelkasten excels at building a connected knowledge base. By focusing on atomic notes and linking related ideas, it encourages deeper thinking and fosters new connections between concepts. This can be particularly beneficial for research and writing projects, but also for personal learning and exploration.

Here's a breakdown of how they might fit together:

1. Capture (CODE): You come across an interesting idea while reading a resource (relevant to your PARA "Resources" section).
2. Process in Zettelkasten: You capture the idea as an atomic note in your Zettelkasten.
3. Distill (CODE): You link the new note to existing notes in your Zettelkasten that share related concepts.
4. Express (CODE): When working on a project (relevant to your PARA "Projects" section), you can leverage the connections within your Zettelkasten to find relevant information and develop new insights.

Ultimately, the best way to use these systems together depends on your needs. You can experiment and find what works best for you. Here are some additional points to consider:

• Complexity: Zettelkasten can have a steeper learning curve compared to PARA or the basic idea of CODE.
• Customization: Both PARA and Zettelkasten offer flexibility to adapt them to your workflow.

By combining the strengths of PARA, CODE, and Zettelkasten, you can create a powerful system for capturing, organizing, and utilizing your knowledge for better learning and productivity.

Considering the 3 system approach you present, would it become too cumbersome to use daily or would it be very efficient? I don't want to spend too much time thinking about PARA/CODE/ZETTELKASTEN to the extent that I am messing with the systems rather than utilizing these systems to become more efficient and effective.

You're right to be concerned about the potential complexity of using PARA, CODE, and Zettelkasten together. While they can be very efficient, there's a tipping point where managing the systems themselves becomes counterproductive.
Here's a breakdown of how cumbersome it might be and how to achieve efficiency:
Potential for Cumbersomeness:

• Learning Curve: Each system has its own concepts to grasp.
• Friction Between Systems: Deciding which system to use for each piece of information can be time-consuming.
• Over-complication: Spending too much time on upkeep can take away from actual knowledge work.

Strategies for Efficiency:

• Start Simple: Begin with PARA, the most straightforward system for organizing information.
• Integrate Gradually: As you get comfortable with PARA, introduce CODE principles for processing information within your PARA structure.
• Focus on Workflow: Don't get bogged down in classifying every piece of information perfectly. The goal is to capture, process, and use knowledge, not to categorize it to death.
• Adapt to Your Needs: These systems are flexible. Tailor them to your specific workflow and learning style.
• Technology Can Help: Use note-taking apps or project management tools that can accommodate PARA and basic CODE principles. Some tools even have Zettelkasten-like features.

Remember:

• The goal is knowledge, not system mastery. Don't get hung up on perfectly implementing every detail.
• Focus on action. The true power comes from using the captured and processed information to achieve your goals.
• Experiment and iterate. Find what works best for you. If a system feels cumbersome, simplify or adjust your approach.

Here are some additional thoughts:

• You might not need all three systems. Maybe CODE integriert (integrates) well enough with PARA for your needs.
• Zettelkasten might be most beneficial if you're working on complex projects or research.

Ultimately, the best approach is to find a balance between organization and efficiency. The systems should empower you, not become a burden.

Thank you. If I were to select Tana as a tool to implement one, two, or all three of these systems, would that be a good/best choice or would some other tool be more suitable? I want to avoid Logseq, Capacities, Notion, Obsidian as I have reviewed them and don't prefer them.

Tana can definitely be a good choice for implementing PARA, CODE, or even all three of these systems, especially considering your preference to avoid other popular options. Here's why Tana might be a good fit:
Strengths of Tana for PARA and CODE:

• Simple Structure: Tana uses a familiar folder and tag system, making it easy to organize information according to PARA categories.
• Flexibility: You can create custom tags and attributes within folders to incorporate CODE principles like "stage of processing" (capture, organize, etc.).
• Focus on Writing: Tana emphasizes writing notes, which aligns well with the knowledge distillation aspect of CODE.

Strengths of Tana for Zettelkasten:

• Backlinking: Tana allows for backlinks between notes, which is a core feature of Zettelkasten for creating a connected knowledge base.
• Atomic Notes: While Tana doesn't have a specific feature for atomic notes, you can structure your notes to focus on single ideas and link them accordingly.

Here are some things to consider:

• Tana is relatively new: Compared to Obsidian or Logseq, Tana is a less established tool. While it's constantly evolving, there might be fewer features or integrations available.
• Zettelkasten Complexity: Tana can handle Zettelkasten, but it might require more manual work to manage backlinks and atomic notes compared to a tool specifically designed for Zettelkasten.

Alternatives to Tana (considering your preferences):

• Athens: This tool focuses heavily on knowledge management and creating a Zettelkasten system. It might be a good option if Zettelkasten is your primary focus.
• Bear: This note-taking app offers a clean interface and strong tagging capabilities, making it suitable for PARA and basic CODE implementation.

Ultimately, the best tool depends on your individual needs and preferences. Here's what I recommend:

1. Try Tana: Since you've already reviewed other options, experiment with Tana and see if its structure and features fit your workflow for PARA, CODE, or Zettelkasten.
2. Consider Zettelkasten complexity: If Zettelkasten is a major focus, evaluate if Tana's manual approach works for you, or explore Athens which is specifically designed for Zettelkasten.

I hope this helps!

This does help. How should I evaluate the zettelkasten vs para/code to understand my own needs best?

Here's a way to evaluate Zettelkasten vs. PARA/CODE to understand your needs better:
Consider your learning style and goals:

• Zettelkasten: Ideal for:
  
• Deep dives into complex topics.
  
• Building a web of interconnected knowledge for research and writing.
  
• Those who enjoy a more open-ended, exploratory approach to learning.
  
• PARA/CODE: Ideal for:
  
• Staying organized and action-oriented.
  
• Managing information for various projects and areas of focus.
  
• Those who prefer a clear structure and system for capturing and processing information.
  

Ask yourself these questions:

• What are your primary goals for managing information? (e.g., research, project management, personal learning)
• Do you prefer a structured system with clear categories (PARA) or a more open-ended approach (Zettelkasten)?
• How comfortable are you with linking notes and building a connected knowledge base? (Zettelkasten requires more effort)
• How much time are you willing to invest in learning and maintaining a system? (PARA is simpler to learn)

Try them out:

• Spend a week using PARA: Organize your digital information using folders for Projects, Areas of Focus, Resources, and Archives. See how this impacts your workflow.
• Spend a week experimenting with Zettelkasten: Start by taking atomic notes on topics that interest you and try linking them to see connections emerge.

Reflect on your experience:

• Did PARA help you stay organized and find information easily?
• Did Zettelkasten stimulate your thinking and help you see new connections?
• Which system felt more natural and enjoyable to use?

Here are some additional thoughts:

• You don't have to choose just one. Maybe PARA works well for your daily tasks, while Zettelkasten is a good fit for deeper research projects.
• Start simple and gradually add complexity. Don't try to implement everything perfectly at once.
• The most important thing is to find a system that helps you learn and achieve your goals.

By reflecting on your learning style, goals, and experience with these systems, you'll gain a clearer understanding of which approach best suits your needs.

These are all good inputs, and I will find them useful to implement. At the moment, I think I would lean toward PARA/CODE for most things, as I like to be organized and hierarchical, so to speak. My attraction to zettelkasten is mostly around back-linking and the associations that I miss if only using PARA/CODE.

That sounds like a great approach! Leaning towards PARA/CODE for most things makes perfect sense, especially if you value organization and hierarchy. Here's how you can incorporate some Zettelkasten principles into your PARA/CODE workflow to leverage the backlinking benefits:
PARA with Backlinking:

• Use Tags for Linking: While PARA doesn't have built-in backlinks, you can use tags to create connections between related information. For example, a note in your "Resources" section (PARA) on a specific topic could have a tag that links to your "Project" where you're applying that knowledge.
• Create a "Links" Folder: Dedicate a folder within PARA (perhaps under "Resources") to store notes that specifically explore connections between different concepts. This folder can act as a central hub for your backlinks.

CODE with Zettelkasten Inspiration:

• Atomic Notes within Projects: When capturing information in your "Projects" section (CODE), consider breaking down complex topics into smaller, atomic notes. This can help with processing and identifying potential connections to existing knowledge.
• Project Backlinks: In your project notes, use backlinks (via tags or mentions) to reference relevant resources (in your "Resources" section) or related areas of focus (in your "Areas of Focus" section). This can help you see the bigger picture and how different pieces of information contribute to your project.

Tools to Enhance Backlinking:

• Tana: As discussed earlier, Tana's tagging system can be helpful for creating backlinks within PARA.
• PARA-friendly Apps with Backlinking: Explore tools like RemNote or Bear which offer tagging capabilities similar to Tana and might have additional features for creating backlinks.

By incorporating these backlinking strategies, you can bridge the gap between PARA/CODE's organization and Zettelkasten's focus on connections. Remember, the key is to find a system that works for you. Don't be afraid to experiment and adapt PARA/CODE to incorporate elements of Zettelkasten that you find valuable, like backlinking and atomic note-taking within projects.

Do you have an opinion on a learning method once I have a collection of data? I've read a little about spaced repetition but I'd look as alternatives also and determine the best method for me.

Absolutely! Here are some learning methods to consider after you've collected your data, along with spaced repetition:
Spaced Repetition (SRS):

• Strengths: A highly effective method for memorizing facts and concepts through spaced-out reviews.
• Tools: Popular SRS apps include Anki and Memrise.
• Considerations: Requires active participation in creating flashcards and reviewing them at scheduled intervals. Can feel repetitive for some learners.

Active Recall:

• Strengths: Encourages deeper understanding by actively retrieving information from memory, rather than passively re-reading.
• Techniques: Techniques include writing practice exams, explaining concepts to others, or using flashcards without prompts.
• Considerations: Requires more effort than passive review methods.

Elaboration:

• Strengths: Improves long-term memory by connecting new information to existing knowledge.
• Techniques: Techniques include summarizing information in your own words, creating analogies or metaphors, or generating examples.
• Considerations: Requires some time investment to process and connect information.

Interleaving:

• Strengths: Improves understanding of different concepts by studying them in a mixed order, rather than consecutively.
• Techniques: Study materials from different topics in a single session or create a study schedule that alternates between subjects.
• Considerations: Can be initially more challenging than focused studying.

Retrieval Practice:

• Strengths: Similar to active recall, retrieval practice strengthens memory by forcing you to retrieve information from your memory.
• Techniques: Techniques include testing yourself on the material after reading, writing practice questions, or using spaced repetition software with retrieval cues instead of full answers.
• Considerations: Requires effort and focus to actively recall information.

Here are some tips for choosing the best method for you:

• Consider your learning style: Do you prefer visual aids, active participation, or deeper analysis?
• Evaluate the type of information: Are you memorizing facts, concepts, or procedures?
• Experiment and find what works best: Try different methods and see what helps you retain information most effectively.
• Combine methods: Don't be afraid to use a combination of approaches to create a well-rounded learning strategy.

Additional Resources:

• Spaced Repetition Software: Anki or Memrise
• Active Recall Techniques: retrieval practice article

Ultimately, the best learning method depends on you and the specific data you're trying to learn. By experimenting and combining different techniques, you can find an approach that helps you retain information effectively and achieve your learning goals.

Traditional Asian herbal medicine can help with fertility as follows:

1. Conception: It helps enhance the body's condition to make conception possible and removes obstacles to infertility.
2. Pregnancy: It alleviates discomforts during pregnancy, such as swelling and morning sickness, and helps prevent miscarriage.
3. Postpartum: It aids in the removal of lochia and helps the body return to its pre-pregnancy condition.

Traditional Asian herbal medicine has been helping with various health conditions related to before, during, and after pregnancy for thousands of years.

First, the sources (another note, spoiler text is just me covering more morbid information, Aztec mythology comes with that territory):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Rosenkreuz#:~:text=Christian%20Rosenkreuz%20(also%20spelled%20Rosenkreutz,early%20in%20the%2017th%20century.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%AAtzp%C4%81p%C4%81l%C5%8Dtl
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_(chess)
https://mythlok.com/itzpapalotl/
I'll explain all of these by the order of the articles I linked, so first, Christian Rosenkreuz. His story is identical to Signora, or well the first part of it. Aside from her name being derrived from his last name and the Rosicrucianism philosophy, they are both scholars who traveled from Germany (Mondstadt) to Persia (Sumeru), discovering knowledge that would immortalize them figuratively and literally (Signora becoming an elemental and Christian's body being preserved perfectly even after his death). While he is an allegorical figure, his name being possibly fake too, it's worth noting that he is her most relevant inspiration, but not the one relevant to Natlan.
Her inspiration that is the actually relevant to Natlan is the goddess of death and resurrection, Ītzpāpālōtl. Honestly, there is so much aligning inspiration that I wouldn't be shocked if there was an Ītzpāpālōtl like god revealed in Natlan. The most basic similarities are:
-both are represented by moths, and Signora has the Itzpāpālōtl moth in the part of her concept art that was shown at an event in China.
-Ītzpāpālōtl is usually reffered to as the obsidian butterfly, and Signora used to be a cooled down elemental of liquid fire (lava cooled down turns into obsidian)
-The goddess is usually described as a pale, seductive woman who can turn into a monster of clawed wings (Signora's boss form has black pointed ends to her wings)
-Aside from death and resurrection Ītzpāpālōtl is the patron goddess of witches, and a formidable sorceress herself. She also consumed souls, which is rather similar to Signora filling her time piece with spirits.
-Also pretty important, both are fond of children. Signora has her fondness of Arlecchino's adopted children, and Ītzpāpālōtl's realm is a paradise for victims of infant mortality , aside from also being the place where humans were created.
While they aren't 1 to 1 copies (Itzpāpālōtl usually has black hair while Signora's is blonde), they're pretty much 80% related to put it simply. Genshin impact usually takes lots of inspiration from religious and mythological sources (Childe is based on Ajax the great and Ajax the lesser, Deshret's retainers are based on both Egyptian gods and could be a reference to king Solomon summoning demons to assist him), I fully expect this connection to be explored which is why we heard very little of Signora before Natlan, while she also has all of these native American influences. The main reason this is the case is that Natlan is clearly inspired by mainly southern America and Mexico, and Ītzpāpālōtl is a pretty relevant goddess in Aztec mythology.
Last but not least, Signora's chess piece in the winter night's lazzo trailer matches the position needed to promote a pawn to another chess piece of the same colour. This leads me to believe that Signora will resurrect with a huge powerup and possible divinity while still staying a closer ally of the fatui even if she quits being a harbinger. The argument that could be made against this is that Signora's piece fell over, but right as Pierro was about to remove it one of her moths landed on it. Even if we ignore all other mythological references and artifact + item descriptions, this scene specifically is some of the biggest proof there is to Signora's come back.
I don't have a full theory, but with Signora having resurrection symbolism and being specifically based on southern American and Aztec mythology, while her only German influence is related to esoteric concepts, my conclusion is that her most likely, and possibly planned all along spot for resurrection is Natlan. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Hello, this my first time posting here so apologize for any mistakes.
I'm currently building a universe for my games. One of key aspect in one of the game is interstellar travel using starship. Currently the characteristics and the mechanics of interstellar travel in my game are as follows:

• The starships propulsion technology cannot reach speed of light. Starship sublight have max speed ranging from 0.5c to 0.85c, depending on the starship itself.
• Interstellar travel with starship is done by encasing the whole starship with "specific" energy. This "specific" energy will then immediately put the starship into "specific" hyperspace. I'm using "specific" to denote placeholder name.
• This "specific" hyperspace allows travel across star systems "sector". For the game purpose, "sector" is 2 number that denote the location the star system itself relative to the "specific" hyperspace.
• The "specific" hyperspace will eat away the "specific" energy. Anything (matter, electromagnetic wave, radio wave, etc.) that lacked that "specific" energy can't enter the "specific" hyperspace. If the "specific" energy is depleted away while inside the "specific" hyperspace will be kicked out from the "specific" hyperspace, possibly resulting them in distance very far away from Milky Way Galaxy.
• The "specific" hyperspace still follows certain normal relativistic limits, such as anything with matter can't travel faster than light while electromagnetic wave always travel at speed of light.

The weak part of this interstellar travel IMO is the "sector" doesn't map directly to real star distance in the Milky Way Galaxy. Rather it maps to arbitrary place in the whole universe (incl. non-observable ones) instead of following real star distances. For example, while sector (0, 0) maps to the Sol system, "sector" (1, 0), while 1 sector apart in "specific" hyperspace between the solar system, may be millions parsecs away from Milky Way itself. Another example is a far away "sector" (say (522, -101)) may lie in Milky Way galaxy. This is where I need help on improving. What could be a better explanation for it for normal audience? or what could be changed to be better? Note that I'm open to all suggestions as none of this intestellar travel concept are final yet.
More information about this "specific" hyperspace:
Why that "arbitrary" distance? If the "specific" hyperspace simply made distance to travel between stars shorter, it means the nearest star system based on that sector (e.g. (0,0) to (1,0)) should be already recorded. This means I have to get the real stars data. Meanwhile I'd like to procedurally generate them. Procedurally generate them means it will no longer match real stars data. Furthermore, if travelling far enough, then the sector may be empty because it will lie outside the galaxy. It may be more plausible to have the center of Milky Way as sector (0, 0) instead of the Solar system, but for now I keep my stance on this concept as I also have other lore for this "specific" hyperspace (see below).
Why not something like warp bubble? Warp bubble is a good alternative and it might be a thing in the far future. However since I'd like to procedurally generate almost all the star systems, the issue would be then back to previous paragraph, I'm potentially generating wrong star without having real stars backing up the fact. Again, I'm still open to the interstellar concept though and this is not final. Plus, warp bubble sounds like a Star Trek and I'd like to avoid using existing concept from mainstream media due to legal reasons (enlighten me if I'm wrong about this).
Beside that, I'd like to write a lore revolving that "specific" hyperspace too. This will eventually lead to multiverse in my universe (well that feels weird). But the gist about this lore is that there are civilizations at war living in this "specific" hyperspace at intergalactic scale, while humans are using the "specific" hyperspace for communication and transportation.
End more information.
Please let me know how to explain this in good way or if something needs to be changed to appeal more. English is not my native language but I try to make it as sense as possible 🙏.

https://www.newsweek.com/dei-college-director-fired-not-being-right-kind-black-person-1813481

A former community college Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) director and tenured faculty member is suing her former employer for allegedly stunting her free speech and academic freedom, telling Newsweek: "They literally marginalized me as an individual."
Tabia Lee, who is Black, was recently terminated from her position at De Anza Community College, located in Cupertino, California, as a full-time, tenured member after working in the education field for approximately two decades.
A 53-page lawsuit filed July 10 claims that she encountered a hostile department "illegally targeting White people on the basis of race." It also says she was accused of "whitesplaining" and not being the "right kind of Black person," and claims she was vilified for refraining from invoking racial stereotypes and refusing to use the term "Latinx" instead of "Latinos."
DEI, which broadly describes initiatives designed to promote the fair inclusion of under-represented groups, is almost everywhere in current U.S. society, including in congressional amendments for military-related funding and across the business sector.
Questions remain about DEI's effectiveness and popularity, however. Only approximately three in 10 workers value a diverse workplace, and only about 30 percent of American employers have a staff member who promotes DEI, according to the Pew Research Center.
In March of this year, Lee was informed by De Anza that she would be terminated "because of De Anza and the District's ideological opposition to Dr. Lee's humanism in the classroom," according to the complaint. It says that she "refused to knuckle under to campus orthodoxy," which Lee has described as excessively "woke."
"She happens to be Black, but first and foremost, Dr. Lee is a teacher dedicated to humanism and civil rights," the complaint continues. "She teaches that people should not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. De Anza is hostile to this concept." It says Lee's thinking was opposed to "unchangeable attributes ascribed by characteristics of race and gender beloved by De Anza's race and gender ideologues."
Lee is determined to fight for what she sees as fundamental tenets of education, she told Newsweek.

Words, Phrases, or Other Language Related Concepts I See as Faulty part I: the phrase "to have your cake and eat it too"
the problem: So I'm just supposed to look at the cake then? I can possess it but I can't consume it? You seem to be a bit of a cake tease to me. What's the point of giving me cake but not allowing me to eat it, hmmm? You come to my house and you bring a cake in with you and it looks delicious...but you won't share a single bite of "my" yummy confection with your pal, me? Not even a lick of the knife after you cut the damn thing up into slices for yourself? Da hell? Hey how 'bout you and your cake grab all your shit and get the fuck out of my house right now with this bullshit, you icing crazed sumbitch, how 'bout that m'fucker?
anyway, you see my issue, right?

It was an unreasonably warm day at the start of fall, and I was, of course, getting roped into helping my friend move into his new third-story apartment. As I'm lugging a rather suspiciously heavy “antique” dresser up the narrow staircase, my mind starts to wander. I start thinking about how I knew exactly where to go when he gave me his new address.
You see, in my head, I have a sort of “mental map” of the city. I've lived here for years, and so I know where the main streets are, what neighborhoods are where, and so on. This internal mental map allows me to navigate the city with relative ease.
As I'm panting at the top of the stairs, it hits me - the concept of a mental map is a little like the concept of a schema in psychology. A schema is like an internal map of information. It's a mental framework that helps us organize and interpret information.
In the same way that my mental map of the city helps me know where to go, my friend's apartment schema (which might include attributes like 'consists of rooms' and 'has an address) helps me understand what to expect when I enter an apartment.
But just like how my mental map doesn’t include every single back alley or hidden coffee shop in the city, a schema doesn’t include every single piece of information about a concept. When I get a new piece of information that doesn't fit into my existing schema (like the discovery of a new cafe), I have to update it, similar to how I'd update my mental map with a new landmark.
And the next time I'm forced to haul a mysteriously heavy piece of furniture up several flights of stairs, I'll have a new waypoint to add to my mental map, and a new piece of information to add to my “moving” schema - always check what’s in the drawers first.
P.S. Okay, folks, I might have exaggerated a bit about the unreasonably warm day and moving an "antique" dresser up to a third floor apartment. But hey, it's for the science of schemas and mental maps! Life is full of schemas, mental maps, and, unfortunately, heavy pieces of furniture. Let's just be glad that we have these mental models to make sense of this crazy world. Till next time, stay curious!
P.P.S. Remember to always deconstruct your schema when necessary, it's healthy to question them from time to time! And keep updating that mental map- who knows the places you'll discover.

Not that anyone at this gives a single flying fuck but I did this so I’m posting it. I have included all works from the main 13 albums and singles excluding
The b Side of yellow submarine as no actual beatle plays on it
Those German covers as they really aren’t so different from the original and I didn’t see the point
Unreleased material such as ultra deluxe or whatever the fuck and the l unreleased stuff from anthology (excluding the 3 last Beatles songs)
There’s a couple of unpopular opinions here so don’t go too hard on me I love them all in my own way,
214:WILD HONEY PIE: To be clear I don’t dislike the idea of the song, but I just think it’s a huge middle finger to the album. I can’t help but laugh at it as it is a mockery of Paul McCartney by Paul McCartney. I can’t help but think it’s what John thinks his little jaudy ditties sound like. However I think it’s horrible to have to listen to I’m not angry at it, just disappointed. It really could’ve been a good parody song, as it however. I think it’s a filler interlude.
213: BOYS: The original version is leagues better, and when it comes to the Beatles that’s saying something. I can’t think of anything that justifies the existence of this song. The only redeeming aspect is it’s refreshing to hear ringo sing sometimes, he does a fine job of it.
212: A TASTE OF HONEY Trashy song too sweet and pissy for me (for a great lack of a better term) Paul sounds bad on this, the whole thing sounds trashy. Drivel
211: P.S I LOVE YOU Does nothing for me.
210: SUN KING Oh a hot take. Or is it, I won’t count the medley itself as no one else seems to but if so I respect it way more than it’s placed. It’s a bit trippy but not to an extent of intriguing me. The translation to mr mustard is great but I’m not ranking that. On its own, In My Opinion, bad
209: PLEASE PLEASE ME Has everything that I dislike about the early work, especially the harmonica, fine singing but could’ve been synced better.
208: THIS BOY Forgettable and boring to me
207: SEXY SADIE fascinating song but not particularly good or interesting in my opinion. The stories of who’s it about however are worth looking into.
206: ASK ME WHY Might it have something to do with love. As you might tell I’m not big on please please me. This one blends in with the rest of the album
205: CHAINS Not an awful song but it’s not overly good. George’s vocals haven’t gotten great yet so he still could use some work. Perfectly bland song
204: DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET I am aware this song has a relatively large fan base but this is not for me at all. Sorry
203: THE END First off the “Oh Yeah! All Right!” Are indeed iconic. Everyone’s playing their heart out. Some of Ringos best work. But I don’t know, it doesn’t punch me like I think it should. I like this, but I should love it, and I don’t.
202: GOLDEN SLUMBERS Too repetitive for me to get into. This is the only Beatles song that could’ve been shorter. That’ll be ironic as I pretty much think every Beatles song is too short except this one.
201: ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN Berry did it better
200: ANOTHER GIRL I didn’t think anything of it at all to be honest.
199: TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE Fine, not that good, but fine
198: YOU KNOW MY NAME (LOOK UP THE NUMBER) They’re taking the absolute piss. I’m glad this exists but I don’t want to listen to it.
197: BIRTHDAY It’s a birthday song, you know, typical white album. Fine.
196: FLYING This is such a fucking vibe, not much after you’ve heard it the once but still, not bad at all for a mostly instrumental song
195: WHEN I GET HOME It wasn’t that bad, and it wasn’t that good
194: I WANNA BE YOUR MAN Eh
193: THINGS WE SAID TODAY Better but we’re not THE BEATLES yet
192: IM HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU Somewhat memorable, kinda boring, not shit
191: ITS ONLY LOVE I’ve heard worse
190: I CALL YOUR NAME Not much to say about these particular songs, they aren’t shit but they’re not at that quality of good, these are the awkward songs.
189: REVOLUTION 1 I originally heard it on the white album and thought “wow that was really mid” the I heard the original single and I thought “wow they really fucked that song” still noice lyrics
188: JULIA Calm ass song. A lot of people love this song to bits but I just don’t relate to it that much, with age I expect to like this song more
187: ALL TOGETHER NOW I guess it’s fine
186: DON’T BOTHER ME It’s just meh
185: HOLD ME TIGHT Still meh
184: DIG IT I like this but it’s so short and non sensical I can’t put it any higher
183: I SAW HER STANDING THERE I like this, but it’s still a bit too sappy
182: BLUE JAY WAY This is a weird ass song. Very George. It has those uppy downy lyrics, there’s a lot to like here but also a fair few things that I don’t like, like the lyrics could have been more defined and worked on, and it could use some more power in the vocals
181: I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Karmas a bitch
180: THE NIGHT BEFORE This one has better production but the same blandness that culminates in old Beatles music
179: WAIT There’s going to be enough hot takes on this list anyway so I will contain my feelings on rubber soul. Let’s just say the Beatles evolutions had a middle ground from lovey dovey 60s bops to the psychedelic rock they’re know for. That middle ground is rubber soul, not a bad album, but like the stage from a child to an adult, kinda messed up. This album has some re great moments. But it also has wait, which isn’t bad, but it’s not everything you would want from this particular album.
178: CRY BABY CRY It’s good, idk what else to say not Beatles good but I wouldn’t skip it
177: LOVE ME DO This song just makes you feel happy, nothing else
176: KANSAS CITY/HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY It was ok but I can tell this track wasn’t over fixated on
175: I NEED YOU You can tell it’s an older Beatles
174: DIZZY MISS LIZZY I know there’s a recent dislike for this one but it never fails to make me smile. It’s so fucking chaotic I love it, it does have its production flaws but John is singing his heart out. This is what I want from a Beatles cover track
173: IVE JUST SEEN A FACE Charming enough song
172: TICKET TO RIDE A classic I’m sure. Really has a nice groove and what it lacks in lyrics makes up for in sound.
171: ONLY A NORTHERN SONG I agree with the rest of the group that if this was on Sargent peppers it would be the worst track. However that’s not to take away from it. It’s a charming piece, it has all the elements of Harrison but overall it is only a northern song
170: SOMETHING Damn here’s the first one I might not survive. People who were on the fence before will probably switch to the ‘eh, fuck this guy’ field. I don’t dislike the song, it’s a good song, it’s a great love song but it’s a very expected feet. Every line while sung with excellence is very conventional, it’s tropey. Perhaps it’s too far to call it cheesey. And don’t get me wrong I love the simple cheesey songs a lot (just wait till you see where I put silver hammer). But this one just doesn’t strike a nerve for me. I did think the same thing about strawberry fields forever for a while before listening to it more so maybe it’ll crawl up the ranks someday but overall I think it’s a nice love song that has some great production but after that it’s overshadowed by the rest of the album.
169: ALL MY LOVING Yeah, it’s a classic, who couldn’t like it
168: MOTHER NATURES SON This one has a huge fanbase as well. It’s a good song, great use of imagery and metaphors. Doesn’t do much after that in terms of production and the way it’s sang, just a nice song to chill to in my opinion.
167: ALL I’VE GOT TO DO Again, short, sweet song
166: YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY Yeah this one’s interesting. It goes through a fair amount of genres for one song. On one hand its structure is something of a mess, however it still is a good listen, it’s cute in the best sense. The fact that it’s about Allen Kline is also funny if not a little saddening
165: IT WONT BE LONG Wasn’t long, still nice
164: ANY TIME AT ALL Just another comfrey Beatles song
163: YOU’VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY Although I think this song is a little overrated not bad
162: DEAR PRUDENCE I know I like this song a lot less than others do. It takes a while to get going but when it hits that euphoric moment you know I’m talking about it’s bliss, but the first half kinda dull
161: BECAUSE A little oddity on the Abby road medley that’s just, I don’t know, conflicting. If it where longer maybe I could decide if I liked it or not but for now it stays here
160: THANK YOU GIRL Sweet little song that gives you a warm feeling
159: LONG LONG LONG At this point in the white album that’s what I was thinking. It’s not bad but it could’ve been longer (no pun intended) and released as a single with the right editing. George Martin could make it work I’m sure
158: I WILL Here’s how I feel. I always like it when I hear it, but forget what it sounds like 2 seconds after.
157: IF I FELL Cheesy but still pretty catchy
156: AND I LOVE HER This is nice also
155: LITTLE CHILD Though the lyrics in 2024 sound a little ‘noncey’ that’s part of the reason why it sticks out to me. It always gives me a chuckle. Little child… the way he says “I’m so sad and LoNeLy” is so cartoony and I like it.
154: ILL GET YOU Yeah, good, fine, acceptable
153: BACK IN THE U.S.S.R This is why the Beatles beat the beach boys for me this. Classic song that probably had America tugging at there collars, just genius
152: ITS ALL TOO MUCH Again this isn’t bad, am I blown away, not necessarily. But this is a bop
151: THERES A PLACE I like this quite nice I think
150: A HARD DAYS NIGHT A lot of people love it, I just think it’s fine, good song I guess
149: ILL CRY INSTEAD These are the songs that are well produced but lyrically forgettable. This is one of ‘em
148: EVERY LITTLE THING I really like Beatles for sale, it’s so fun, it’s a fun album. Every little thing isn’t badly written but I listen for the music. George is good on this, ringos subtly great. Just wholesome
147: EVERYBODY’S TRYING TO BE MY BABY A song of its time, and quite and tie tapper if you ask me
146: WORDS OF LOVE A pleasant song for any day
145: DAY TRIPPER Nice melody, ok lyrics, good enough song
144:BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR KITE When I first heard this song I didn’t listen to the lyrics, the ones I did catch lead me to believe that it was some sort of political song with mr k being some sort of satirical caricature. Upon second listen I realised it’s just a song about a circus performer putting on a show, I can interpret some lyrics as a reference to some political nature but I think it really boils down to a circus song. It’s giving me a sense of stereotypical Halloween music you’d hear with the way the rhythm goes up and down frequently in the same line. Just a fun little jingle. Also I believe if Paul had wrote it John would have hated it, many probably do hate it. What does everyone have against whimsy?
143: CANT BYE ME LOVE Cliché yes, catchy yes, enjoyable yes
142: THINK FOR YOURSELF Fine little song with not much to write about
141: FREE AS A BIRD I am quite conflicted on the 3 last Beatles songs. They are mostly John Lennon demos rather than Beatles mixes. I was of two minds including them but I thought I may as well because they are interesting to talk about. I don’t think these are as cash cow despicable as some would argue. A lot work has clearly been done to preserve them and restore them. It’s hard to look at this song on its own basis. On its own it’s pleasant, but overall I do not really know why they bothered to release it as a Beatles track, it feels very unbeatles to me but as I say I don’t dislike it, I’m just not sure on where I stand on its purpose
140: REAL LOVE I have the exact same opinion on this one I just like the song better
139: MAGGIE MAY I just think love the accents alright. How long is it 50 seconds? For the life of me I’ll never get why they didn’t make their songs longer. I fancy me chances with this one
138: DEVIL IN HER HEART Solid cover of a very good song
137: PIGGIES This one’s kinda weird. We all get the piggies are elite pricks but the way George pronounces dirt just sells me on it. Good effort, could’ve been longer.
136: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK I like it, don’t love it, it’s what you expect but it does deliver in that regard
135: HELP! Iconic, reasonably catchy, just wholesome man
134:IF I NEEDED SOMEONE Rubber soul being kind of quirky comes through softly but noticeably here
133: MEAN MR MUSTARD This song just flows man. I love the lyrics, like the instruments and how they bounce off each other. Just the right amount of absurdity. If only it were longer…
132: HELLO GOODBYE Classic, I do like this one, but you know I always forget how much until I listen to it again
131: LONG TALL SALLY A lot of people hate this one but I think it’s fine
130: TWIST AND SHOUT COMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEOWWN
129: ILL BE BACK Yeah, not bad, not bad at all, rather good actually
128: TELL ME WHY Classes Beatles getting it right
127: TILL THERE WAS YOU You know, maybe with the Beatles gets too much hate
126: OLD BROWN SHOE Not one of George’s best and the mixing is jarring but the lyrics are very nice
125: FROM ME TO YOU Just a sweet song, nothing wrong with that
124: SHES A WOMAN Not much to unpack, Paul is good in this though
123: MICHELLE Everyone loves Michelle. It’s a dainty song that isn’t that great, but good, it’s just so quaint
122:THE WORD The n word. No love of course. Maximum corniness but still a treat to hear, Lennon sings it believably
121: WHAT GOES ON How eloquent, idfk
120: BAD BOY Now junior, behave yourself! I just needed to hear Lennon say that and I was hooked. Weird to release a cover as a single but I won’t complain
119 : FIXING A HOLE Fun psychedelia, bring the family
118: MATCHBOX Just a song on the struggles of life, Beatles style
117: ONE AFTER 909 Chaotic song that gets the blood flowing. Also regrettably relatable
116: GETTING BETTER The charm is in the McCartney Lennon dynamic. Paul says it’s getting better everyday. John says it can’t get much worse. Doesn’t that sum up those two quiet well. Just so vibrant. This era had so much colour.
115: FOR YOU BLUE Solid song, ain’t bad at all
114: ACT NATURALLY I like this song a lot. Ringo fits well for it, it’s playful, just so pleasing
113: I DONT WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY Another underrated song from Beatles for sale.
112: BABY ITS YOU This is fun
111: MONEY (THATS WHAT I WANT) Good cover, maybe not as good as the original but you can just feel the mayhem going on through the speakers
110: YOU WONT SEE ME Mmhm, mmhm, yup, that’s some nice music
109: YOU LIKE ME TOO MUCH A playful, goofy ass song that has some great lines and a pretty fine beat
108: YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW Heartwarming, just, heartwarming
107: YOU CANT DO THAT Not perfect but undeniably based
106: NOT A SECOND TIME A great story mixed with some simply beautiful descriptions making up a song that hits different form other songs of the similar nature
105: SLOW DOWN It’s the bluddy beetles mate, whatja expect
104: YOU’RE GOING TO LOOSE THAT GIRL The character in this story is such a dick but I just can’t help vibing with him. He’s such a cnt that he says he gonna steal the guys girl right to the guys face. That’s hilarious and I really like it
103: GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING Gets too much hate for what it is
102: RAIN I don’t know what it is about rain that grabs me but every time I listen I just get drawn in, it’s very clean
101: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR ROLLUP ROLLUP. God I think this is so vibrant, so colourful, just really cool, great harmony, overshadowed by the rest of the album
100: MISERY Misery stuck with me, unexpectedly based for a first album
99: YES IT IS Yeah yeah yeah this one’s pretty good yeah
98: CARRY THAT WEIGHT I just sing this all the time randomly. It’s to the point, honest, fun. I don’t know what accents they’re singing in this time but it’s great. Not much of a lullaby though.
97: WHY DONT WE DO IT IN THE ROAD This one just makes me happy. I know it’s kind of filler but the way Paul increasingly hypes things up in his vocals make me smile. Big fan of this, thing
96:HONEY DONT I liked this a lot the first time I heard it and frankly I still do
95: IN MY LIFE When rubber soul gets it right it can end up like this song. And that’s a good thing
94: NOWHERE MAN Lyrically enchanting, some hot instrumentation. Production ok and a more memorable song from rubber soul
93: I FEEL FINE Yup this is fine
92: YESTERDAY A song you think is overplayed until you listen and it’s just so good. A real highlight from the early years, my favourite from help, a somber melody that is sang flawlessly by Paul
91: LOVELY RITA A song of a somewhat unlikely love that is different enough from the Beatles other love songs to stand out
90: WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS Why is it so low I hear you scream. Well to be honest FOR ME the verses while lyrically interesting don’t stand out in my mind. Obviously the chorus is incredible but it’s just as the rest of the verses which mind you are still good that bring it down for me. A song not really my thing till the chorus hits but still the fact that it’s there makes it worth the listen
89: HER MAJESTY Yes, I prefer this over while my guitar gently weeps. Moving on, I think this is a fun, tongue in cheek song that I always thought implied he was talking about money. Think about it, her majesty is on all the bank notes, she certainly doesn’t have a lot to say in that case, price changes from day to day. Paul loves it but to get it he has to get a belly full of wine to make it… think about it.
88: SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW Ah, this one. The intrigue of the contrast of the chorus and the verses. One of my favourite from the medley
87: YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME With the Beatles being underrated again
86: TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS Look, I don’t dislike this song, it’s just a bit messy for me. There’s a lot going on and I like that but ultimately the trippy style is done better in other songs like day in the life. But I do like that George Martin on the piano isn’t half bad, he’s one of twelve fifth Beatles I hear
85: HERE COMES THE SUN I like George I swear. This song is really good and I like it but I just wouldn’t listen to it as much as some higher ones below. The changing of the seasons to describe a relationship isn’t new but it fit’s really well here I think.
84: IM SO TIRED Would be higher if it were longer, good, very good, too short
83: POLYTHENE PAM The fucking accents. Love the weird ass story of the gender ambiguous Pam and her drag persona as in a polythene bag. Just a fun character song
82: DOCTOR ROBERT My least favourite from revolver but still charming enough
81: WHAT YOUR DOING Just good
80: BLACKBIRD I really like this. I want to love it, but it’s so goddamn short man. Oh well what we got is still great
79: DONT PASS ME BY Weird, goofy, sung by ringo. A real gem of a song off the white album.
78: ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC A cover almost better than the original berry’s. Almost is still a hard feet to reach.
77: IM LOOKING THROUGH YOU The loss of a love has been done many times by these guys but this is one of there best
76: WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS The lyrics are kinda mid in my opinion but hearing ringo sing always has its perks
75: IVE GOT A FEELING Very good song, production a little iffy but not horrible, I think let it be is given too much shit for that
74: GOOD NIGHT They subverted my expectations with this one. What a way to end such a large album, I think this one is cute and light and just very sweet. Whispering is somewhat creepy though.
73: WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU We all know they were on a lot of serious shit during this era but goddamn the lsd vibes mixed with the Indian sitar sound is really fucking unique. And I like it, don’t love it but still
72: IM DOWN V good
71: THE INNER LIGHT V nice
70: BABYS IN BLACK This one strikes a nerve with me, a hood premise, John sings it well. A treat
69: ILL FOLLOW THE SUN Never got why people disliked this one. I had a theory that the guy in it is dead and he’s going away from his girl, you know, towards the Sun
68: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE More than inspired by Elvis but I can’t complain its a banger
67: PLEASE MR POSTMAN This is well suited for John to sing. I prefer this over the original maybe that’s controversial to say I don’t know. It’s great
66 : GLASS ONION The rocking beat is what hooks me at this one to be honest, the references are cool but a bit pointless
65: MARTHA MY DEAR Who doesn’t love dogs, just heartwarming. Just pure joy
64: IM A LOSER God this album doesn’t get enough love
63: MR MOONLIGHT I heard people disliked this one but John is really suited for this one. I do indeed prefer it to its counterpart
62: LOVE YOU TO Weird vibes, good track
61: I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND Just gets you grooving. Love it
60: DIG A PONY Nonsense song that sounds good in your ears, typical Lennon
59: DRIVE MY CAR Maybe overrated but still slaps
58: GIRL Love girl
57: SHE LOVES YOU Again one of those dancer songs that never fails to deliver
56: ANNA (GO TO HIM) Way better than the original, such a good cover, ah, bliss
55: NOW AND THEN You see is this the recency bias. I don’t think so I hope not but it feels like it is. Man I don’t know it just sounds like Lennon was going for something different and I get it. There was so much work that went into this I just don’t know. I do really like it.
54: I WANT TO TELL YOU Somewhat forgettable but when I hear it it comes rushing back to me.
53: GOOD DAY SUNSHINE Good vibes, peace and love you know
52: HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE Somewhat cliché but idk I like it
51: TWO OF US I just love this. I don’t think it’s as badly produced as some claim (the long and winding road is evidently over produced but it still goes absolutely hard)
50: TAXMAN We can all relate to this. More relevant than ever, and will continue to be in the future I’m sure
49: WHEN IM SIXTY FOUR It’s so jaunty that I feel like it would belong in a cartoon but that just makes it better for me. I love whimsy
48: IM ONLY SLEEPING This is great
47: PAPERBACK WRITER Be longer please
46: WE CAN WORK IT OUT Longer be please
45: HEY BULLDOG Kickass bass playing by Paul. Lyrics that were just fucked together by John are somehow incredible. Ringos drumming on this one is really good too. Wow, for a throwaway song it works really well
44: NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN) You can almost smell the pot off this one. Love Norwegian wood rubber soul at its best.
43: AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING Not much to say great song
42: GOT TO GET YOH INTO MY LIFE Iconic, great again
41: ELANOR RIGBY Maybe you’ll say I put this too low but I still like it to a great extent
40: LADY MADONNA One of their best character songs
39: THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD Epic song, great lyrics, sang fantastically, so good
38: SHE SAID SHE SAID Tripping balls but goddamn amazing
37: LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS Psychedelia on full force with this one. Some of the best imagery from any song. It’s charming and fun and at times mystical but overall Johns way with words really come to the top of the log pill with this track
36: I ME MINE In hindsight a song that highlights the way George felt the world around him was and he was probably right. I like the metaphor and the waltz aspect works more than any other of the Beatles attempts at the style, it’s a fantastic piece
35: THE FOOL ON THE HILL Oh I love this song so very much. The song has the fool as some sort of wise figure many (myself included) take to be god. And I like to think if there is a god he’s like this. Watching over giving the world his wisdom but we’re just to ignorant to hear it. Also the medieval sound is one of my favourite styles (love sunforest if you’ve ever listened to any of their songs) so the flute works just so well for me especially when it mixes with the piano. Oh I just love this song to bits it’s great
34: ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The cheesiness is undeniable, the magic is unbeatable. This song is just such a good album ender. The chaos and randomness near the climax is such an incarnation of the love message and how it works as an organised mayhem. The anthem of love and joy and passion is overflowing and I really like this song, if you can’t tell
33: NO REPLY Oh the way people overlook this song is not right. Its well written, it’s well sang, everyone’s playing well, it’s delightful
32: HONEY PIE I know people hate this song however for me it brings me back into the 20s. It is a sweet ditty that works really well for me and I love this one
31: FOR NO ONE God I love this. It feels so personal and is reflective, as unbiased as it can be and just beautifully sang with no grit. It’s honest. Paul’s on piano here witch is always great. Ringos drums work well to I think. This one’s just brilliant
30: SARGENT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND REPRISE I love this, the best feels like fucking hip hop, it’s a nice way to lead into day in the life it’s just good no real flaws
29: SARGENT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND Well this is just a perfect way to start an album. Set up the setting, it explains why the music in this one’s a little different as it’s not the Beatles it’s Sargent peppers and that’s a good concept from the start. You get a real idea if what the world the album takes place in is like and you get a feel for the members of the band itself. Just a class act
28: SAVOY TRUFFLE Controversial one perhaps. I just like the song. The mixing is interesting, the lyrics are fun, I think George outdid himself with it, all just to mock Eric Clapton, hilarious
27: ROCKY RACCOON I know this one’s gonna be a war. Rocky raccoon is so listenable, and fun and encapsulating. Ringo is singing it in a great way. I just like it, ok, just my taste. If you hate this song and believe it should be burned than that is perfectly fine, but don’t undermine someone else’s opinion
26 : DONT LET ME DOWN Oh this one’s so powerful, grand, fitting really.
25: YELLOW SUBMARINE I have a fee that I’m not going to survive this list. Can I not like fun, that’s what this is, pure unfiltered fun. This song makes me very happy ok. Ringo singing it just gives it that relaxing feel. Yellow submarine is that kind of happy go lucky song I love
24: REVOLUTION After hearing its bastardisation this is just so refreshing. It’s about a peaceful revolution. It sure as hell doesn’t sound peaceful what with the two electric guitars blowing my speakers out. This one just sounds like a revolution should in a song, and it’s really very good because of it.
23: GET BACK Shit, shit back, shit 1. No I love this. This is such a vibe man it strikes a nerve, it sounds incredible (considering it was recorded outside) and it helps that everyone is clearly giving it there absolute all. Love get back.
22: OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA I don’t know if this one is as controversial as it used to be but I know there are still some who fucking loath this song. I saw an article where it put this song as the worst the Beatles ever done saying that it was genuinely a horrible experience to listen to. I don’t know this song is just a tonic for a bad day, I will always feel a little bit better after listening to it and that really pulls it up the list. Don’t get the hate
21: A DAY IN THE LIFE Oh boy. This is so good damn it. The Lennon McCartney dynamic is the best it ever will be. Lennon reads the news of suicide and sees a war film while Paul dashes about in his chipper day. The rising orchestra is incredible, Ringos drumming is so different to other approaches in the genre. I can’t tell the scales of the strangeness and the depression aspect mixed with the weird ass ending it’s just an experience instead of a song.
20: OH! DARLING You can’t deny the power in this song, Paul gives it his absolute soul and it works for me, this rejection song is more of an explosion of emotions that gets you invested. Idk I like it
19: REVOLUTION 9 Well I’m dead, there’s no redeeming myself now oh well, however if you would at least hear me out on why I put number nine here then I will do my best. I love things that are different, things that go against the norm and defy expectations. And if we can all agree that revolution 9 is not what you expect when you think Beatles then we have agreed on something. This song (if you can call it a song) is doing for me something interesting. Celebrating the avant-garde while also making fun of it. It sounds impeccable. The mixing is superb, it makes full use of the stereo format. It makes me feel things, picture things, it’s a very interpretive sound that mixes together different instruments and words and phrases forwards and backwards to make something of a trip. This sounds like what a revolution sounds like, points getting muffled over time, being big and grand before shrinking into disarray. You can take what you want from the meaning but when I listen I get completely overwhelmed with feelings. It’s a collage of expression that is most certainly not for everybody but I think is a full on revolution in my head. That’s just how I feel
18: EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY There’s some dislike for this one too but I think it’s just a complete rocker, the lyrics also make me chuckle a fair bit
17: THE BALLED OF JOHN AND YOKO I don’t think this one is that hated. I love it. It’s genuinely very funny some highlights being the what you doing in bed interaction and the two gurus in drag. John was highlighting his problems with the media in a way that doesn’t sound bitchy or like he’s talking down to the listeners. Very good song
16: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE God the imagery, similes and lyricism is so beautiful. This is a beautiful song. So elegant
15: SHES LEAVING HOME I was somewhat shocked to find this in some worst of the Beatles lists. The people writing it seeming to miss the point that it isn’t that biased. Sure it shows the hardships of the parents, how broken they are but it realises that fun can simply not manifest in some places and has to be sought out. It’s a real understandable song that is softly sung by Paul in a mystifying way.
14: I WANT YOU (SHES SO HEAVY) Fucking insane song, it’s like a ride at an amusement park it ramps up over time and brings you right to the heights that you wonder how it’s going to end. This song subverts that by giving it no ending, it just gets cut off, which is brilliant. It’s like a ride through hell. A decent into madness of desire in a way making it shockingly relevant.
13: OCTOPUSES GARDEN Kudos to ringo bro just wants to be under the ocean. Calm as fuck. Beautiful expression of the desire to get away from the hassles of life and responsibilities which I’m sure we all relate to. Also bubbles, what’s not to love.
12: HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN It’s almost perfect, but goddamn it it’s too short. I love this thing but I feel it cuts off before it’s time is up you know
11: THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW BILL I don’t get the hate for this one (well maybe I do but still) you got a fire ass spanish guitar. A balled of verses, a sing song chorus that feels like it’s taking the piss in a good way. Even an underlying message of hypocrisy and ignorance. Now I know that yoko is very loud on the song but honestly it just ads to the bizarre feeling that the whole song gives off, I love this.
10: YER BLUES One of the most explosive blues songs I’ve ever heard, incredible
9: STRAWBERRY FEILDS FOREVER You already know it’s fantastic, but that still shouldn’t take away how fantastic it is
8: MAXWELLS SILVER HAMMER … yeah, no joke. Listen it was on of the first Beatles songs I ever heard, if not the first. It has that jaunty Paul feel but then it hits you that it’s about a murderer and it just makes me take a step back and go damn, the Beatles could make anything whimsical. It’s so sing song while being so dark. Yea it is fruity but man I don’t know. The synthesiser near the end is also just really fun to me. It’s fun it’s nostalgic and I will always love it. Sorry not sorry.
7: HELTER SKELTER I applaud you Paul McCartney, you put everything you had into this one and it paid off
6: BABY YOU’RE A RICH MAN I don’t know what it is about this one I love so much, I’m not a huge fan of sitar but it works here. I like the lyrics. There’s a lot of interpretation around them but I always took it as a similar vane of the balled of John and Yoko where it is like a dickhead reporter asking John the questions we here Paul sing in a sense of leading him on and that they’re responding in the sense that these people nagging them about having money when most who were had money themselves. Just a thought.
5: COME TOGETHER Classic, genius rhyming scheme brilliant
4: HEY JUDE 2nd Best uplifting song I’ve ever heard
3: LET IT BE Best uplifting song I’ve ever heard
2: PENNY LANE A fantastic song highlighting the serenity in modern life that often goes unrecognised. It’s penny lane, what’s not to love
1: I AM THE WALRUS It’s I am the walrus. Lyrics are dazzling. The whole mixture of instruments and sounds the distortion making it sound like a dream at points. The way it uses the stereo medium is genius. The Beatles were geniuses. One of the best things ever written.

NOTE = "Skip to 9th Paragraph for the meat";
I've been doing Cododev's Node.js core concept course after hearing very great things about it in this sub. I'm a big fan of - - low level programming - rebuilding framework from scratch - diving deeper into source code
I've worked as a Data Scientist and an Application Developer (Flutter). Dart has a strong backend support but since I was a complete beginner in Backend, it was hard for me to straight away start with Adapters, Middlewares and Routing.
I tried express but it felt like cheating.When I say app = Express() I get a server. What the fuck is a server??? With Firebase and Cloud, I was getting even more confused.
I wanted to learn Go, Axum, Spring, Node and I was evaluating - actually wasting time without learning anything because everywhere they were using some framework which felt like a black box and I needed a low level guide that ensures i become a backend master by the end of it.
Characteristic of a good course is it just doesn't teach you the code, it teaches you the algorithm and constructs which you could use in any language or tool you wish and that's when I found out about Cododev.
Why I decided to go with his Node. js course - 1. It was talking about basics before even touching HTTP for 30 hours. 2. He talked about TCP for 9 hours, HTTP for 9 hours, Taught UNix and C for 8 hours and a lot more... it's 50+ hour course. 3. You shouldn't measure a course by its length, so here's the projects which that course has -

• A File System,
• Literally any simulation with Event Emitters
• Streams from Scratch, and again a File System that uses stream to move files.
• A chat application on sockets(inherited from Duplex Streams) and TCP Server(extends Event Emitters)
• A fucking Google Drive, file uploader on Cloud
• DNS Server
• HTTP on top of TCP
• Coding and Express like framework from scratch ( this one made me buy his course)
• A social media with JWT authentication
• Unix, C, Bash Scripting
• Ffmpeg and using it with node on a server for an online video editor.
• Compression and implementating algorithm on buffer, binary, hex level.

Course isn't complete yet, moduls that are left are - 1. Encryption and Cryptography 2. Worker Threads (and multi threading? I don't know if Node is multi threaded, but whatever sort of Parallelism you could achieve with Isolates) 3. Security 4. Taking a huge open source project and Reimplementing the backend in the framework we started building from HTTP section.
What have I learned -
I now understand Binary, Hex, encoding ,ASCII, unicode(utf-8,16,32,..n), bytes, bits, how they relate to each other.
I understand the event emitters.. Events, .on(), .emit(), and could easily read docs for any such structure like Servers( they're EEs)
I understand Streams, How data is moved across places through memory, storage and network. I understand processing(CPU%), disk usage, and memory usage (of node's + high watermark value).
I understand Readable, Writable, Duplex and Transform Streams, and could implement them without the functions provided on file handle and I could manage and tweak how much memory or processing any Stream would use.
I understand about internal writable/readable buffers, buffer overflow, sync and async passage, safe/ unsafe streams, data event, end event, error event, drain event. Pausing, Resuming and Destroying a stream.
And at the end, piping and pipelines because that's the battle tested way but now I know both of those works and could even tweak source code at will.
Requests, Response, TCP Connection, Socket - they are all Streams.
Literally the bit level control over data, processing and memory - he taught me that.
I understand File Systems very well. On a server and on a client device. With streams, you could create a fully functional File system which can copy, move, delete, rename, create, etc. We did that.
Then he started with Networking. That was a journey. For hours he talked about followup things - 1. Internet 2. How it works 3. Communication 4. Wired Communication through Cables(he already taught us streams which is how communication or movement of data happen in memory and internal storage) 5. Switch, Cables, IP Addresses, Mac Addresses, Routers 6. Networking Layers and IANA. 7. Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, IP/Network Layer, TCP/ Transport Layer, and Application Layer. 8. DNS, IP Addresses - IPv4 and IPv6. Ports.
I'm sure I have missed something but you get the gist.. Now the course started properly. We started talking about TCP.
He literally went into Specifications, Headers, and on the wireshark captured the segments and made me understand how data flows throughout the entire world. I learnt about TCP Server in net module. It's events and methods. Clients(Socket Connection).
We then very casually hosted this Server on AWS. Made multiple clients and created a group chat with just readable and writable streams pausing, draining and resuming with a freaking Terminal UI. I was never as thrilled and understood chat application soo well.
We made a TCP and UDP uploader using which you could send your local files to any server through network using Streams with just TUI. We built an FTP protocol of our own.
At this time, without even knowing what HTTP and Web Server, I was able to Reimplement parts of Dart Shelf - A library in that allows you to create Middlewares and all.. Like implementing Requests, Response, headers and Servers from scratch, because it's the same thing with different syntax.
I then started with HTTP module. First of all I understood that I have already implemented HTTP while trying to make different custom protocols on top of TCP. That confidence boost was enough to go further -
I understood - all the headers - content type - mimes, content length, transfer encoding chunked, three way handshake, ack, syn was already done in TCP. - http versions, http headers, and body, HTTP methods ( for requests) - create, put, post, update, delete, head, get, option, etc and Idempotency and why adhering to it is important. - HTtP Responses ( For Responses) - Informational Range(1), Success Range(2), Redirect Range(3), Client Error(4), Server Error(5**). - We read IANA and MDN docs
He then started creating an express like framework. We started listening from a Server and used on() methods and functions to manage routes and sending different requests with different status codes.
I saw how if I returned HTML by writing it on a Response stream, it renders the freaking website. Fuck! I can also send audio, image, or any file type in the body through writing on the Response Stream at any required processing or Memory usage.
We implemented a routing functionality, a request handler and easy file transfer protocols and json protocols. I learned parsing and Stringifying and how even that is a cost.
Overall this framework can create a server like app = express(); about which I had no fucking clue about a month ago. Does JSON Parsing, Has an FTP, Handles routing for any kind of backend api structuring and send status codes. All in a chained method format..
Right now, I have just started building this Social Media application in the course using which we will develop our framework more.. I'm just starting this part of the course...
Over all I've never felt so confident in my backend skills and I have noticed that no matter in what language I see the backend code in - go, php, rust, Dart, python, Java, bun, deno, c, cpp - I understand it all. Everything makes perfect sense.
And I have only completed 60% of existing course. Course itself is 60% completed. I plan to use Dart anyways in my Flutter Apps but the crazy amount of knowledge this guy "Joseph" has poured into a course is unsurmountable.
For someone really experienced or a low level programmer, this might not be a big deal for a person completely new to backend and with very little knowledge of system programming and Linux - this course has been a freaking godsend.
That was my experience, Node is awesome! Thanks for reading.

Post 1:
Once upon a time, I was hunching over a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle which was supposed to form a quaint little Italian village. As much as the pieces were unique, I still needed a framework on how to piece them together because I couldn't just start sticking pieces everywhere, right? That's when it struck me - the puzzle's box image was my schema, an overall blueprint to guide me.
Now, let's imagine I was given another puzzle but without the box image and the puzzle was meant to be the Eiffel Tower - something I've seen a million times on postcards, in movies, etc. Even without a physical guide, I could mentally piece together the Eiffel Tower - this is mental representation.
In short, schema is the puzzle box image, the guide you're given. Mental representation is what you've got in your mind from previous experiences, like picturing the Eiffel Tower from all the French romcoms you've watched.
P.S. I can't believe I spent an entire weekend solving puzzles just so I could explain this concept to you all. Kidding! This story was purely hypothetical but wouldn't the world be so much more fun if we could piece together schemas and mental representations while solving puzzles?
Post 2:
Picture this - you’re in your favorite coffee shop, sitting in your favorite spot. You know how to navigate through the menu, how to order, where the sugar cubes are, you've even figured out the best time to avoid the rush. This is your schema at work.
But what if one day, the coffee shop introduces a new drink? You've never tasted it before or know how it's made, but you've heard about it. Your mind starts working, imagining the taste, the color, the texture, based on your knowledge of coffee, maybe it's related to something you've had before. This is mental representation.
In both cases, you're using a combination of experience, background knowledge and imagination. Schema is more procedural, whereas mental representation is more about details you have never directly learned or experienced but can infer.
P.S. No favorite coffee shops were harmed or exhausted in the making of this example. Just trying to give you guys an insight into the world of schemas and mental representations. Grab a hypothetical cup of your favorite brew and ponder over it!
Post 3:
Remember when we were kids and learned to ride a bike? We knew the steps - one foot on the ground, one on the pedal, push off, balance, start pedaling. Those steps were our schema, a structured plan we followed every time we hopped on the bike.
Now imagine you've never seen a unicycle, but you've heard about it. You know it has only one wheel, and you ride it sitting down. Based on your experience with a bike, you build a mental image of riding a unicycle - balancing on the one wheel, pedaling to move forward. That's your mental representation.
Schema is like the bike-riding protocol, while mental representation is imagining how you'd ride a unicycle despite never seeing one.
P.S. Disclaimer - no unicorns, I mean unicycles, were ridden during this imaginary demonstration. Please don't try this at home without proper safety measures, folks! Understanding schemas and mental representations can be fun, falling off a unicycle, not so much!

It’s been three months since by ex with RJ ended things with me after two years of being together. I thought I was so lucky to have met him, and never could have imagined someone could be so perfect for me. I never believed in the concept of “soulmates” or anything like that, but it felt so right with him that’s the only way I could describe it. I was clearly very, very wrong and it’s been pretty devastating to accept. In the end he said he had to end our relationship due to the period before we became exclusive (at my request, he gave no indication he wanted a relationship) when I was seeing other people still.
He’s now in therapy and seems to be seeing things a little differently but I am just growing angrier and angrier because I begged him to start counselling while we were together and he promised he would but left instead. After so long of trying my absolute hardest to be patient and understanding and not take it personally, it feels like I’ve run out of good will. He tried so hard to not take his issues out on me, but the way he felt about my sexual past was obvious and it feels like the shame has permeated to the core of my being. I hate that I now feel this way, when previously I felt really great about sex and except for a few experiences I regret, felt lucky to have had many fulfilling, mutually satisfying and intimate sexual encounters, both in and out of relationships. I was open with him about what I wanted, and answered any questions he had honestly and without judgement. It’s like whatever I said, it would never be enough. He always seemed to be chasing some idealized version of our relationship, where he felt “safe” and wanted above all else. And now I’m here lamenting the fact that it wasn’t enough. I don’t think ANYTHING would have been enough for him. It’s paradoxical because though he seemed to worry he wasn’t “enough” for me, he absolutely was: he was the one who couldn’t accept me!
I am starting to come out of the fog a bit now, but I even started going to SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) meetings after becoming completely convinced I was a sex addict. Luckily I’ve got good friends who set me right here: “Liking sex doesn’t make you a sex addict!”
Most days aren't as bad as today, and I know it'll get easier, but this afternoon I miss him and it helps to vent: thanks for reading my little ramble. I hope you’re all doing okay! This sub is sometimes so sad to read but it helps to know others can relate.

Mark this day, my friends; the day I disastrously mixed up the concept of cognitive maps and mental schemas, leading to one of the most awkward situations of my life.
I was at this networking event for professionals. I ran into an old college friend, Lindsey, who's now a renowned psychologist. She's always fascinated with my career as a cognitive neuroscientist. To my surprise, she started quizzing me about cognitive maps and mental schemas. Nailed it, didn't I? Oh boy, was I wrong...
In the heat of the moment and maybe one too many margaritas, I confidently stated, "Well, Lindsey, cognitive maps and mental schemas are essentially the same thing. Both help us navigate and understand the world around us."
Lindsey gave me a polite smile, trying to hide her amusement. She straightened her back, looked me in the eye, and said, "Dear, they are related but not the same. A cognitive map allows you to construct and accumulate spatial knowledge, allowing the 'mind's eye' to visualize images and enable navigation in familiar and new environments. Remember how you navigated your way to the bar for your fourth margarita?"
We laughed, and I blushed, but she continued. "On the other hand, a mental schema is a cognitive framework that helps us organize and interpret information. It's about interpreting, not navigating. For example, you knew I was teasing you just now because you have a mental schema for humor."
I stood there, margarita in hand, feeling like a complete fool, but I was also amazed at Lindsey's simplistic explanation. Lesson learned: never mix margaritas with brain science.
P.S. The situation above didn't really happen (I can handle my margaritas, thank you very much.) It was just to give you a sense of how cognitive maps and mental schemas can work in everyday situations. Well, cheers to learning, folks! Any volunteers for a round of cognitive neuroscience trivia?

I once found myself completely lost in the sprawling, labyrinth-like streets of Tokyo. My friends and I were visiting for the first time, and we had a list of places we wanted to hit - from local izakayas, electric city of Akihabara, to the tranquil Meiji Shrine. Now, we've got no guide, no GPS (international data roaming can quickly sap your funds), and the only thing we had was this physical map printed on a single A4 paper. It was all we had to navigate this city.
That's when I started to form a cognitive map in my head. A cognitive map is, in essence, a kind of mental representation which allows an individual to acquire, code, store, recall, and decode information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in their everyday or metaphorical spatial environment. The streets, landmarks, turns and the relative distances between these points formed a coded information in my head. This cognitive map was helping me understand and traverse an unfamiliar environment based on the landmarks I was observing.
Now, contrast this with another incident from a few months ago. I was preparing for a critical job interview for a position I really wanted. I had no idea what the interview would be like, or what questions would be asked. That's when I used mental simulation. I mentally rehearsed the situation ahead of me, going over possible questions, responses, outcomes, attitudes and actions. Mental simulation is basically creating a dynamic mental model of events or situations, allowing us to explore different outcomes and scenarios.
The cognitive map in Tokyo helped me navigate a physical environment using static information, while the mental simulation before my job interview helped me prepare for a dynamic, uncertain situation. Both are mental models, but serve different purposes depending on the situation at hand.
P.S. The Tokyo bit, well, that was a bit of a tall tale, but I hope it helped illustrate the concept of cognitive maps! As for the job interview, don't we all do a bit of mental simulation before such high-pressure events? Cheers for our brains for having such fascinating shortcuts!

"Brushing my teeth one bright morning, hypnotized by the rhythmic back-and-forth, I started thinking about the difference between a cognitive map and a mental map. Why? Because, I don't know, sometimes you just ponder the weirdest things while brushing your teeth, don’t judge me.
Anyway, let's say hypothetically, I’m in a forest and I need to find my way back home. If I could utilize a cognitive map, it would be like having a fancy GPS system in my brain. This cognitive map would be an internalized representation of the world around me, constructed from sensory inputs, and allowing me to navigate my physical environment. I’d see the mossy side of the trees, feel the direction of the wind, hear the sound of the creek flowing west - all these inputs would help me to form a mental 3D-like map of the forest, aiding me in my quest home!
Now, a mental map, on the other hand, would be more like a personal Google Maps. It’s an individual’s own perceived understanding of their environment. This might reflect my prior knowledge and perceptions about the forest. Like remembering that I passed a particular gnarly old oak tree, or that unusual looking rock formation.
So, in a nutshell, my cognitive map allows me to navigate correctly, while my mental map helps me make meaning and connect with the forest.
P.S. This was a purely hypothetical situation to illustrate their difference and how you might use them in real-life situations. I’m not actually lost in a forest, I’m supposed to be in a meeting in ten minutes and I’m still standing here in my undies! "
Note: This post is indeed an effort to ingrain the concept of cognitive and mental maps in a relatable, funny way. Now, off to that meeting!

Hello I need some help, insights, tips and sharing experience of how to manage a book structure and relations with characters in fast end efficient way.
I am working now on a sci-fi book aiming to be around 100k words. I write it in Libre Writer.
I have a story concept from beginning to the end, I also write events that should happen but I don't know where to put them yet. To manage that every event has a header with one liner what is going on and then text follows.
The tricky part started after 15k words when it was a lot of text. So got idea to block headers in draw.io making blocks connected with arrows - what is after what, and also floating events to be put in the story when I will know where. Also I did blocks for characters, who is who, who dislikes/likes who and why etc.
Please share your experiences. How you manage to keep events nicely in line, have order, not miss anything. See clearly all your characters and what is the net of relations between them? What tools do you use.
Thank you

The other day, I found myself in an unfamiliar town visiting a friend. I hadn't been there before, but with good old Google Maps, I expected no issues. However, my phone decided to die on me just as I was rounding the corner. With no way to charge it or any physical maps around, I had a small moment of panic. But then, I remembered the brief glance I had of the map before my phone gave up on me.
I started to visualize the map in my head, using landmarks such as a specific store or a unique sign. I remembered that I had to turn left at a pizzeria that had an oversized pizza slice on its roof. I was creating a cognitive map, a mental representation of the environment around me based on what I had seen on Google Maps.
In contrast, let's talk about another instance. Picture this: I'm at a fancy dinner party, and there's this guy who's been overly dominating the conversation. I decide to engage him in a debate. While he's going on about his views, I'm forming a mental representation of his argument, processing his points, and planning my counter-arguments. This mental model isn't based on any physical or environmental attribute; rather, it's an abstract concept that helps me understand and interact with the world.
So, both cognitive maps and mental representations are mental models that help us navigate different aspects of our life. One relates to the physical environment, assisting us in spatial orientation, like my adventure in the new town. The other helps us understand intangible concepts, aiding us in intellectual journeys, like my little debate at the dinner party.
P.S. Guys, don't worry, my phone's alright now. Also, I didn't really get into an argument at a dinner party, I'm much too polite for that. I just wanted to show you how these mental models work in our day-to-day lives. If anything, I hope it helps you the next time your phone dies on you in an unfamiliar place or you decide to debate with a conversation dominator!

Seems unpopular on here. I do agree that Airbnb’s have started having unsustainable practices, costs, and issues related to living. I’m talking more about actual stays and experience, and cost.
I travel often enough, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends and family, and I love Airbnb. Every airbnb I have stayed at has been a much more positive experience than a hotel, because they can offer amenities the average hotel can’t (farm stays, kitchens,living room spaces, etc).
Almost every airbnb I have stayed at has also been pretty equivalent in cost to the average hotel in the area, if not cheaper in many cases (thinking average chain hotels, not roadside motels generally). There are fees but generally I find that the places I’m staying still are at a market rate or lower than what a hotel/villa/etc of the same caliber would cost, even with fees. I’ve never had crazy cleaning duties, either.
I’ve never had a negative experience with an airbnb in the dozens I’ve been to. I’ve had amazing hosts that gave me great recommendations for the area, helped me with recommendations or generally enhanced the experience for me. I’d love to stay at a cute bed and breakfast- but their rates are typically super expensive.
Overall, I really love Airbnb’s as a concept and prefer them to booking a room at a corporate hotel chain.
