+ | //“Not only was his (Aboriginal elder Paddy) knowledge not reproduced in books like the ones he nevertheless wanted to write with me, but it had nothing to do with authorship. Knowledge didn’t originate with individuals, | ||

+ | As Paddy and I were walking the beautiful coastline north of Broome, he would point out things, tell stories, call out to ancestors, and sing songs that belonged to particular places. The songs were important because they were inspirational (in the original Latin sense of a truth being breathed into someone).

+ | * Or grouped in a mind palace?(for example species) | ||
+ | * I go through a process of a few days figuring out what the most useful ordering might be and small tests with 5 or so elements trying out ways of storing. | ||

+ | * Later in the process I can see if I need extra emphasis using the physicality of make visible or tangible artefacts to endorse the memories? | ||

Making a mind-palace or walk, does trigger curiosity and you start to add more and more details into your subects, hooks, nodes.. (I observe this even after only two or three weeks of full-on experience.) | ||
