Wonderful summary of this system
You know what I like about these videos ... I have started my own Analog ZK and I was just writing down excerpts and attempting to write my own insights from that, however with these videos I'm consistently learning how to evolve my ZK better and I don't feel bad that I'm going through trial and error with my own ZK. I just learned something very valuable to add to my analog ZK and I say thank you for that.
Yep learn the Luhmann and Excerpt Technique and then adjust to your own style and personality. It’s a beautiful thing. Digital is too confining and lacks the spirit. The “ghost-in-a-box” factor that Luhmann talked about.
@@scottscheper Completely agree... I went through the process that a lot of other physical antinetters no doubt did, where you try the different softwares, realise that you aren't getting as much out of it that you thought you were, and were ready to give up on the whole exercise
Thanks again for this video! Love how your content is specific, and not just an overview of the antinet xD
This!
Another great video!! Any way you could do a 10 minute video explaining the process all in one place. Quick set up, Similar to your pdf? The components of the system, id numbers (are you starting at 1?) bib, index, types of notes?
Will add it to my list 🙂
What is the difference between a reflection note and a reformulation note?
Thank you Scott, this was very informative. I am really looking forward to reading your book. Please I NEED it as I prepare to start my research for my book . . .
Book is coming in early December :)
Hi Scott. Thanks for putting this video showcasing the internal workings of your Antinet and your thought process as a result. Really liked your idea of two ways of reading a book, one with explicit intentions as Luhmann did and with an open scope.
For most of my reading I am following almost a mixture of the two methods. In any book I read I would mark/highlight the book( my preferred wait of marking ), excerpt the material I read each day in my own words and then come back to it after enough time has passed to make more notes from my insights. I found coming back to the excerpts I wrote after a few days gives my mind time to process the information and connect dots that I would not have thought of connecting before.
Thanks again for doing this. It helps me tremendously to look at your workflow, even if it is markedly different than mine and come up with ideas I can use to improve my overall process.
Yep the manner in which one takes notes is a very personalized experience! The way of filing and storing those notes (Antinet), however, is something I think Luhmann got right.
I think Nabokov used index cards to write his books? Good vid bro 😎
Yes he did. 👍
I put ‘q and o’ on the bottom left of my own reflection. Question and observation. I like the idea of different color cards.
Interesting wThis is an interesting video as you're bridging the gap between different sources. Most content online is around the Sonke Ahrens book (which is a great one) - so getting some insights from other sources is always valuable.
Liked the idea of "slowing down your mind" when you talked about the bibliography.

What is an extract note? And would you say use an extract note on literature outside one’s domain of knowledge? For instance, I’m mostly in literature and philosophy but becoming more interested in AI and blockchain. I know nothing about those subjects or even the domains they reside in, but super curious to explore and connect. So, how what steps would you use to approach note making in new and complex domain/subjects?
I appreciate you taking time to educate the masses. Great channel.
For new subjects, go with the Exploration mode type of notes (not Luhmann’s method). Go straight from book to Excerpt Notes and Reformulation Notes (close summaries of the content taught). That’s how you learn new challenging subjects. It’s what Luhmann mentioned as well.
Thanks for the insight.
Just FYI liberal ideas are capitalist ideas and are therefore not leftist. Laissez-faire is a liberal idea. Liberalism is not a left wing ideology
Thanks
Great video ANTINET!
Thank you Scott for sharing your knowledge, i think for my bib notes i will fold a A4 page in an A6 page because I can’t write small i need more space, but also if i watch a teaching online i use keywords instead of hole sentences an ABC-list its called. And then i highlight the most important keywords the second most and third important words. Then afterwards i make an Cawa drawing out of the keywords. And from the hole visual thing i make a sentence out of the 3 a 4 keywords. But dit would be better for me to show you pictures of it instead of typing it out here. Because you have some advantages when you take some nadering cards and you open them all up you see all the keywords or drawings from those topic you worked on an you can find unusual links that way
Do you advice to take notes in your native language or English? (yes, this question maybe strange to you). I read a lot in english (I'm working in IT).
It depends. Are you writing a book in English? If so, English. If you're using it for personal growth, then your native language.
I didn’t notice the first time I watched is that The Radical Luhmann was written by Carefree Wandering on TH-cam
I'm not familiar with Carefree Wandering. I'll have to check it out! I guess it is Moeller's channel? (On a plane now otherwise I would be able to watch. Poor download speed rn).
I've been watching his videos on the debates with Jordan Peterson. Fascinating. Moeller is like a modern day Luhmann.
what is the one book, article or blog post you recommend to people who are intrigued by an analog zettelkasten?

Man I was looking all over the internet about zettlekasten and it’s always zettlekasten with xxx note taking app. I ended up figuring out all these configurations about the app and not actually doing any reading/output. Thank you so much for this video and I will start my analog zettlekasten (which it always should be)
Yes, I find many of the digital PKM and digital zk apps end up creating people that major in the minor. They turn into templating junkies and pkm workflow warriors instead of actually reading, thinking, and writing.
@@scottscheper I am writing my first physical zettlekasten as I am typing this, my mind just kept have the MECE concept coming up where I have a question in mind where it can be the first card linking to other cards that supports this question.
@@lucidlo1981 it’s best to start it by focusing on a project like a publication paper or a book. Like my 4214 section is for my book and work on Zettelkasten/Antinet.
@@scottscheper May you explain why did you start of with 4200 instead of 4100?
@@lucidlo1981 It's arbitrary and personal choice. No logic. Formal Sciences is 4000, Mathematics is 4100, I chose Computer Science as 4200 as that's the other and next major branch in Formal Sciences. www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_academic_fields#/Formal_sciences
Hans Georg mueller is the guy from carefree wandering?
Yep
Hi Scott, thank you for making these videos. I read your article "How to Get Started Building an Antinet" and been wondering if one could use the Dewey´s Decimal Classification or Universal Decimal Classification for the "big areas", where you used 1000, 2000,... That classification you got from Luhmann? Maybe it would be easier using something that is well established in the library sciences.
Yea definitely you can use whatever classification system you resonate with most; however, know that they are only starting points for your tree of knowledge. You don’t need to obsess over them. They can branch and morph into different things over time. For instance, my branch 4214 started as a zettelkasten or pkm branch. Now I consider it the Antinet branch. In reality, it’s all of those things and none of those things simultaneously. Such is knowledge. Circular, paradoxical and self-referential.
At 13:30 you talk about making a reflection note while creating your reformulation note. You mention that you put the reformulation note on a colored card and the reflection note on a white card, would you file the two cards next to one another? How would their card numbers relate to one another? Thanks.
Not necessarily next to one another. I file each one where each one is most closely related to. If necessary I’ll create a link at the bottom like “See also ‘4214/3D’”
Stuck on how to build out my bibliography cards. Just cards no apps. Any helpful URL’s or examples?
drive.google.com/file/d/1yK3zempcdW8Oc2zuBbmNk1yV71iREwhI/view
Try that. I don’t have a detailed how to on bibliography yet.
So Lumen was Chaotic Neutral?
What do ya mean? 🙂
Edit: just looked up the term. Yes that very much describes him, and many of us!
