Is linking to daily notes excessive? GraphView unusable...
Arxir 9 months ago • 100%
I forgot about filtering in graph view. Thanks a lot for the reminder!
I don't get the naming convention of a Zettelkasten. What if you have two notes about radioactive mayonnaise, but with different timestamps?
Hi Obsidian Community! I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can't see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes. How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess? Am I doing LATCH wrong? Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets? Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works? Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!
Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter: # Background In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template. # Issue Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question. # Proposal Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day. What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input? Interested to hear your thoughts!

The story turns out to be an act of revenge by the co-author, who donated 10 million pound to Cameron's party in hopes of being given a cabinet position. After Cameron refused to give him such, Ashcroft co-wrote an unauthorized "biography" of Cameron.
With this in mind, I wouldn't give this story any second thought other than the realization that Ashcroft is an utter tool.

Can willpower be trained ?
Arxir 10 months ago • 100%
What you are citing, that willpower is being used up over the day by decisions, is called ego depletion and it is wrong! There are experiments where two groups were either told that this is a thing or the opposite, that willpower is strengthened by every decision instead, and it turns out, that both groups had different willpower self assessments at the end of the trial in accordance with the theory of willpower they were told in the beginning, meaning it's just a placebo in the end. Neither ego depletion nor the opposite exist, but people feel as strong in willpower in accordance with their belief of how willpower works.

What is the Israel thing going on?
Arxir 12 months ago • 100%
- After WW1 and the Ottomans were defeated, it passed onto the Turkish (Islamic).
- After WW2 the Turkish were defeated and they lost it to Britain. In the same war the surviving Jews were displaced worldwide and had no country to live, so the League of Nations (U.S, Britain, Canada, France mainly) decided to give Jews a new home and call this new place the State of Israel. They put Israel right in the middle of the British controlled Palestine, which no Islamic nation could object to because they were all defeated in war.
Turkey never fought in ww2. Turkey was already after ww1 completely stripped of territory in the Levant. There also was no league of nations after ww2 anymore, but the UN was founded. No Arabic nations were defeated in ww2. Some of 4. happened after ww1 not 2. The creation of Israel was heavily objected by the neighboring Arabic nations, see 6-Day-War.

Daily Journal Dataview Question
Arxir 12 months ago • 100%
Assuming a key akin to "deadline", you could use or adapt the following:
WHERE dateformat(deadline, "yyyy-MM-dd") <= dateformat(date(today), "yyyy-MM-dd")
Or work with note creation date:
WHERE dateformat(file.date, "yyyy-MM-dd") <= dateformat(date(today), "yyyy-MM-dd")
Instead of "today" use "this.file.name" when working with daily notes as in your case.
To have the list be divided into completed and unfinished, skip the "!completed" and instead use:
SORT completed
Add DESC to reverse order.
Another option would be to have two separate dataview queries. One for completed and one for unfinished tasks.
Recently got a Galaxy 4 smart watch gifted, but I am continuously getting barraged with (repeated) permission requests and hit with restrictions on features due to not granting certain permissions. Is there an alternative that fulfills the following requirements: - respects my privacy by both, not storing my data on their servers and not selling my data, both health and identity data. - works with Android, i.e. Is not restricted in use by using Android as the Galaxy 4 apparently is. I mainly want to use the watch to track sport sessions, basically just for running. Are there any tips on how to keep my peace of mind when dealing with smart watches? Things to keep in mind, etc? Thanks in advance!

LGBTQ+ people are protected against being fired for being LGBTQ+, does that mean straight people can be fired for being straight?
Arxir 1 year ago • 100%
No, nobody can be fired for whatever gender, sexual orientation, religion or beliefs they have. The focus on LGBTQ+ or certain religious beliefs is due to the media focus and because of the countless instances where such terminations, both legal or illegally, have taken place. These legislations give these groups the same rights everybody else already enjoys, and are usually formulated in such a way that any discrimination in regards to gender, etc. are forbidden, this includes white, straight cis-men.

If you want to learn meditation, there are sooo many resources online and in books. Why not use one of those?
I was just curious, because TM is approved by artists like Scorcese, Lynch and Eastwood. There are also studies that claim its benefits are higher than those of other meditation types. I really just want to get a grasp on what this is about as I am atm greatly expanding my meditation practices and am trying out other meditation techniques.
Arxir 1 year ago • 100%
There are different types of meditation. Both mantra and breath meditation are types of focused meditation. I just wanted to know from people who learned TM, which is a secret technique, if it is actually worth it or if it is just a money making scheme, to ask people to pay to learn a certain meditation technique.
Transcendental Meditation is a secretive mantra meditation movement founded by an indian yogi/guru. Most research on meditation benefits is on TM. To learn it, one has to pay for and participate in a course led by a certified TM teacher. Does anybody here have had experience with TM, participated in a course and received a mantra chosen by their teacher? Do you really need a teacher to learn it? Is the course worth it or just profiteering? Anything else one should know before going to a course themselves?

They lose money if they do it.
Do what?
Executives are interested in preserving their buddies and their investments in large corporate rental space.
How does forcing their own workers back into their office raise or lower the value of their own real estate? If they use it, they won't sell it, value is irrelevant then.
Work Reform
Forcing Workers Back to the Office Might Not Have Been a Good Idea After All
Arxir 1 year ago • 84%
I doubt that executives are that clever. I've seen this conspiracy theory circulating atm, but it relies on so many assumptions that I consider it unlikely. It assumes that executives "help" each other out by willfully spending money for office space and all it costs, that could be saved in expenses by employees working from home. Corporations are obsessed with cost cutting, why would they willfully waste money? It also assumes that corporations help each other out. Considering the fierce competitiveness corporations are exposed to and how this extends to all fields, including office space, employees, office equipment, etc., this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. Another assumption is that the push for a return to the office comes from ALL or mostly all executives. Is there actually data supporting this claim? Who is really doing this?
What I think is the real reason, is far simpler and requires less mental acrobatics to justify: The people, who are pushing for a return to the office, (a) have a stake in the performance of the company and (b) are not working themselves when they are supposed to be working from home. They then project their own behavior upon others, and therefore push for a return to the office to, in their mind, prevent their enployees from slacking off.

"The Blind Owl," a captivating literary work by Sadegh Hedayat, intricately weaves together themes of existentialism and nihilism, offering readers a thought-provoking journey into the depths of the human psyche. Set against a backdrop of mystery and psychological turmoil, the novel takes us into the world of an unnamed narrator, whose increasingly distorted reality blurs the lines between truth and illusion. As we delve into the labyrinthine corridors of the narrator's mind, we encounter a narrative that both fascinates and perplexes, challenging conventional notions of reality and meaning. With its haunting prose and enigmatic atmosphere, "The Blind Owl" explores the intricate relationship between consciousness, despair, and the inherent emptiness of existence. In this mesmerizing tale, Hedayat invites readers to contemplate the abyss of nihilism, where the search for purpose and understanding intertwines with the darkness of the unknown. As you embark on this literary odyssey, prepare to be drawn into a realm where the boundaries of reality dissolve, leaving behind a trail of questions and reflections that linger long after the final page is turned.

Hi c/Running, I would like some advice on how to overcome/circumvent asthma-induced pain, while running. I'm an avid runner, but I struggle with asthma for which I do take well-adjusted medication. I have difficulty running more than a couple minutes at a time. Whenever I start running, my lungs quickly begin to hurt (it's not my sides, my muscles could do so much more, but it's actually my lungs hurting), the pain becoming so bad, that I have to pause for more than five minutes after just two, three minutes of running. It takes between 20 to 30 minutes of this stop-and-go to finally "acclimate" myself enough to be able to run normally. As you can imagine, this can get very annoying and frustrating and makes running with a group nearly impossible. On a side-note: When I am running outside, I experience this no matter which season it is or where I am running (forest, urban, field), but when I am running on a treadmill at the gym, I usually don't experience it so severely. Maybe something with the AC? 1. Do You have similar experiences and can You share what helped you? 2. What can I do to reduce the time it takes me to start-up? 3. What can I do to have no/less asthma-induced pain, when starting to run? 4. What kind of training schedule would you recommend for people with asthma? Are normal training schedules just stretched out regarding the increases in intensity over time or do I need a completely different approach? Thank You for any advice on the matter!
Hi, I’m Arxir! Me and some other Mods from r/nihilism decided to migrate to the Lemmyverse. Anyone familiar with r/nihilism might remember that moderation is very lax and our rules do not extend beyond the site rules and we would like to keep it that way here as well. Other than that, this community is not tied to the subreddit. What this community becomes, what content You want to have here and the depth of philosophical or other discussions is entirely determined by You. I would like to kickstart engagement here a little bit and to achieve this I will implement a weekly open chat, where I would love to hear from You. I also encourage You to share your thoughts, what books You read and especially what You want this community to be :) Kind Regards Arxir

When reinventing the wheel and coming up with a new clever way to structure notes or new info to add to the YAML, how do you treat your old notes? Do you go back and apply the new format or do you just leave them as is only looking forward? If you revisit old notes, do you have a strategy? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Hi, I'm Arxir! I volunteered to moderate this community and would like to introduce myself and also get some input from You on what You want this community to be. ### About Me I studied Sociology at a university with an empirical and quantitative focus. In my thesis I analyzed police brutality during protests against police brutality through a [relational](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationalism) lens. ### !sociology@mander.xyz I would like this community to not only be a bucket for links to sociological papers, news articles and blog posts, but also a place of discussion and a platform for exchange and educational/professional guidance. My thoughts on achieving this are to provide a more detailed introduction to sociology in the side bar, a weekly open chat and to encourage You to share your thoughts and theories, because we have to open ourselves up for criticism to be able to learn. Therefore, there is no wrong thought to share here. Now I would like to hear from You. Who are You? What are Your thoughts? What do You want this community to be? And what do You think can be done to achieve this? Lastly, I would like to add, that if You are interested in managing this community and sharing mod duties, please feel free to write an application, where you outline your experience with Sociology and Moderating as a comment here or as a direct message. Thoughts on what you would do to improve engagement within this community are a welcome addition. Kind Regards Arxir
