it can be any of these imaginative processes:

• Kinesthetic: imagine the feel and weight of binoculars and how they feel when you put them to your eyes.
• Auditory: hear the sound of an electronic microscope zooming in on a subject.
• Visual: specifically imagine the color of a camera’s metal and plastic parts, or how the light bounces off its surfaces.
• Emotional: imagine how it feels to see a loved one again after a long time apart.
• Conceptual: think about the concept of something being visual, perhaps by imagining the word itself appearing on a screen.

[ed. from a Youtube comment he adds cryptically "But a tip would be to perhaps think in terms of genre as a replacement."]

[ed. 2: Ah he means replace "conceptual" with genre]

• Olfactory: imagine the smell of rain after you’ve heard distant thunder and seen a lightning clap.
• Gustatory: imagine the taste of that same rain.
• Spatial: think about the size of your vision in terms of how far you can see or how big objects are relative to one another.

To remember all of these options, think of the words “KAVE COGS.” Then, whenever you read, move through each step strategically in order to make sure you’re using multisensory visualization.

Feynman famously said:

“You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while, there will be a hit, and people will say, ‘How did he do it? He must be a genius!”

By writing down and defining the problems you want to solve, your brain will subconsciously start looking for solutions. (Like when you want to buy a certain type of car and suddenly you start seeing that car everywhere.)

And when you make your 12 favorite problems public, you attract like-minded people who are grappling with the same challenges or have a solution to offer.

“Every time you hear a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, ‘How did he do it? He must be a genius!’”

— Richard Feynman

here’s the quintessence of Zettelkasten’s notes hierarchy:

• Fleeting Notes
  Fleeting notes are ideas that pop into your mind as you go through your day. They can be really short, just like one word. You don’t need to organize them.
• Literature Notes:
  You capture literature notes from the content you consume. It’s your bullet-point summary from other people’s ideas. I create these notes for all books, podcasts, articles, or videos I find valuable.
• Permanent Notes:
  When you create permanent notes, you think for yourself. In contrast to literature notes, you don’t summarize somebody else’s thoughts. You don’t just copy ideas but develop, remix, and contradict them. You create arguments and discussions.

Here’s a snapshot of my current permanent notes page on my first favorite problem — How can I help education evolve so it ignites kid’s curiosity and creates a lifelong love of learning?

1. Post a high number of high-quality videos on your YouTube channel

One hundred videos may seem like a lot. It truly is. If you spend 16 hours shooting, editing, adding music and polish for every video, 100 videos are going to take an unbelievable amount of time. However, how-to and informational videos don’t have to be elaborate and fancy. Make sure you have a decent quality mic (I use THIS ONE. it’s $22).

Polynucleotides are polymers made up of many nucleotide monomers joined together by a series of condensation reactions, forming phosphodiester bonds.

The biggest key to success is lining up three factors, which I’ll cover in detail.

1. Post a high number of quality videos. It can easily take 100 videos to see large growth.
2. Understand keywords and how people find your video.
3. Connect and engage with your audience.

The DNA double helix is held together by hydrogen (H) bonds between complementary base pairs

2 H bonds between Adenine & Thymine

3 H bonds between Cysteine and Guanine

Semi conservative replication is the method in which DNA replicates, creating two molecules of DNA that consist of one original DNA strand and one newly synthesised DNA strand.

DNA helicase breaks H bonds between the two strands in semi-conservative DNA replication

Free DNA nucleotides complementary base pair to the exposed strands after DNA helicase unwinds the molecule in semi-conservative replication

DNA polymerase catalyses condensation reactions to join adjacent nucleotides, forming phosphodiester bonds

The hydrolysis of ATP can be coupled to energy-requiring reactions and used to phosphorylate compounds

The condensation of ADP to form ATP can occur during respiration and photosynthesis

Inorganic ions are atoms or molecules with an electric charge, containing no carbon

Cations are positively charged ions

Anions are negatively charged ions

Water molecules consist of 2 hydrogen molecules covalently to an oxygen molecule.

DNA consists of two antiparallel strands

ATP hydrolase is the enzyme involved in the reaction ATP -> ADP

Hydrogen ions determine the pH of bodily fluids. The higher the concentration, the lower the pH

Iron ions are essential components of the prosthetic group in haemoglobin and bind to oxygen

Sodium ions are used in the co-transport of glucose and amino acids across cell membranes

Phosphate ions are essential components of DNA, RNA & ATP

Inorganic ions occur in solution in the cytoplasm and body fluids of organisms, some in high concentrations and others in very low concentrations

The water molecules are slightly polar because the oxygen nucleus pulls the shared electrons away from the hydrogen nuclei.

The oxygen nuclei in water has a δ- charge, and the hydrogen nuclei a δ+ charge.

The polarity of water causes attraction between water molecules. This force of attraction is called a hydrogen bond.

The enzyme involved in the reaction ADP -> ATP is ATP synthase
