How to Be a Human 3.0

Work-in-progress drafts, book ideas, and fragments. Never about the software — about the movement.

Drafts

Frictionless Super Memory

Draft

Never lose an idea again. A new definition of what it means to be organized, built on AI tools that track all the open loops, enforce deadlines, and surface what matters.

  • Tag things with hashtags in your text messages so they get remembered
  • Highlight key moments in conversations — have AI grab the good quotes
  • Track app names and links that are new
  • Track problems mentioned across conversations
  • Voice record passively while meditating, thoughtstream while driving
  • Queue @targets to aggregate meaningful stuff
  • Capture things immediately — don't try to find the right file
  • Set up automatic follow-ups on your friends
  • Have your bot tell people your status when you're busy, that you care about them
  • Track all things with deadlines and enforce them

It's not just a tool but a system. Tools are going to be commodities. Innovation and ideas are the advancements.

Making the Invisible Visible

Draft

There are invisible things that are there but we can't see or touch. We're making these possible to see.

  • Everyone has an implicit life quest tracker — we are just making it visible
  • Track your open gestalts; they will appear on your gestalt board
  • Track patterns of high productivity — what induces them? What creates them?
  • Track relational connections and issues in conversations with people
  • Graph of relations between your tags
  • Looking for contradictions, finding coherence, looking for similar ideas, finding relevant people
  • Keep a personal dashboard with all your links and active projects — above and beyond the file system

Book Ideas

AI-Powered Organizations

Idea

How to run an AI-powered organization. We could go into organizations and help transform them. Digital transformation, AI transformation. Transform your workflow seminars. How to implement it with existing issue trackers.

#BusinessModel

Contributing to the Global Mind

Idea

This is the manifesto for a movement you can contribute to, not just a personal organization book. How to be a good digital citizen. Make the global mind more coherent with us. Add and notice insights to the global mind. World of Warcraft meets collective sense-making.

How to Use a Graph Database as a Second Brain

Idea

How to make graphs actually useful. Debate mapping and structured output. Idea linking. Brainstorming: striking at the roots of problems instead of the branches. How to use it for need-finding. How to use it for biology research.

The Vibe Coding Guide

Expanding

Already exists as a living guide. Expand into: orchestrators, tmux, AI-forward software development practices. Have APIs and CLIs for things. Serialize state to markdown. Separately: a founder guide for planning for the AI revolution.

OpenClaw

Idea

Write a book on OpenClaw.

#BookIdea

AI & Relationships

Idea

Have your bot check in sweetly and express care even when you cannot. AI as a focus buddy, having presence with you. A digital twin that pretends to be someone with a good life rhythm, like a good-influence person. Have it generate a story like Diamond Age, with you as a transforming protagonist.

How to Life

Idea

It's not just about AI; it's about how to live. Track your life rhythm and specific exercises. Food, sleep, exercise, physical environment, social environment. Energy management. A whole workbook where people try different things and build their whole life out. A curated wiki of life patterns from various people.

Externalizing Your Cognition

Idea

How to project your mind into digital space. The universe is animate. We prompt it — that's all of our actions. Management as prompting. AI provides a very pure laboratory to understand what should be working. Daily notes, de-normalized redundancy, because you can do that with AI.
