up: [[PKM MOC]] Tags: #🌲 # Ideaverse Your ideaverse is the entire universe of ideas that exists between you and every place you think. It consist of the connections between you brain, your body, and every place you walk by. It's the conversation you just had. It's the tree you just walked by. *It's the butterfly's that just came up in your stomach.* This reminds me of the concept of [[The Extended Mind]]. The environment around you has a direct impact on your thoughts and ideas. ![[The 9 Levels of The Extended Mind 18.09.34.excalidraw|1000]] ### How to Audit Your Ideaverse  Questions from ideaverse: 1. I'm encountering things that spark through newsletters, YouTube videos, conversations, books, articles, podcasts, and my own second brain. 2. I want to learn more about Obsidian PKM, memory, relationship psychology, memory, philosophy, flow theory, decision making, flow, storytelling, creating an online business. 3. My natural thinking style is more towards maps of content. I create more individual notes but I notice that every time I have created a Map of Content it has left me feeling with incredible clarity. 4. I'm communicating YouTube videos, newsletters, blog posts, and podcasts. **My biggest problem is in the relating stage. I don't do a good job connecting notes together or mapping them together as much as I would like.** #### Your Ideaverse makes you immortal We are bound to die made of flesh. Natures replicators, genes, can pass onto future generations but we don't. However, our personal Ideaverse can live because [[Memes can be immortal where as humans are transitory|memes can be immortal.]] ### How does it differ from a second brain? Your second brain is just your externalized knowledge in physical or digital format. Your Ideaverse comprises your environment, second brain, and your first brain. When you work on it it works on you. ### How do you grow your Ideaverse? Through the process of [[Idea Emergence]] everyone can grow their personal ideaverse. It's essential in the making of your personal ideaverse that you intentionally design your whole ideaverse (see: [[Environmental Design]]). This is because even when you realize how much your environment effects your thinking, you still don't realize just how much your environment effects your thinking.
