A good reference system should be able to easily store all kinds of materials: not just text (which Emacs excels at), but also handwritten notes, photos, screenshots, voice memos, videos, and more. (it’s not well suited to capturing or searching for information on a mobile device -> orgzly)

1.1.6. Critique by opposing BASB to Zettelkasten
https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/1258/how-can-para-and-zettelkasten-workflow-live-together
https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/basb-and-zettelkasten-are-opposite-approaches/18117/6
- do you want to understand fewer books, but remember them (Zettelkasten), or just skim through a vast majority of content you’ll forget anyway (BASB)?
Maybe the solution is How I Remember Everything I Read (which is nothing more than Progressive Summarization, only summarize those books that resonate with you)
For BASB, it seems secondary sources would be used, sources that someone else has already thought through and interpreted. The product would be primarily an aggregation of other people’s thoughts.
While for Zettelkasten, primary sources would be used, and require the reader to do their own thinking and interpretation of the source material. This leads to a network of notes of ones own thoughts on a subject.
Zettelkasten may be suited for exclusively academic jobs, where the remixing of different ideas is your main goal, as opposed to office jobs where creativity and remixing are more casual

1.3. GTD
The inception of PARA/BASB. A lot of synergies, contrasts and agreement
- BASB more focused on idea generation than on sheer task management
1.3.3. The Power of DWYSYWD (Doing What You Said You Would Do) - Forte Labs

GTD -> Integrity
BASB -> Creativity
Pleasure as an Organizing Principle
While on this journey, however, we start to realize that GTD and BASB can serve another purpose: sheer pleasure. We accomplish what we set out to do, and check items off our list of actions and goals; a sense of achievement, fulfillment, and satisfaction arises. We add notes to our collection of knowledge related to our projects, responsibilities, and interests, summarizing them and organizing them; it grows over time into a vast web of meaning, like creating a museum tailored exclusively to our interests. Through action and learning, a sense of pleasure, joy, and wonder arises.

1.10. BASB is about diving in a topic when you feel like it, and saving that information for the future
You’re working for your future self without you knowing, which is good because it doesn’t feel like it
A machine that transforms random flukes in consistent output
A low-pass filter that filters out low-value information and builds on high-value information
Hype is a high-frequency mode
