How many brains do you have? How many do you need?
When asked why he didn’t know the exact speed of sound offhand, Albert Einstein famously answered, “I don’t know. I don’t burden my memory with such facts that I can easily find in any textbook. I do not carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books.”
Second Brain
Tiago Forte is the guy who turned “second brain” from a vague productivity metaphor into an actual methodology. He’s a productivity consultant and writer, founder of Forte Labs, and he built his reputation teaching people how to offload thinking to an external system instead of trying to hold everything in their head.
The philosophy underneath both is that human brains are bad at storage and good at thinking, so a second brain’s job is to take the storage burden off you entirely, freeing you up for the connections and judgment only you can make.
That’s the same instinct animating Nate Jones’s Open Brain work. Jones cites Forte directly as the intellectual ancestor of what he’s building, though Forte’s system was designed for humans doing the organizing by hand, and Jones’s bet is that AI can now do the classifying and routing automatically instead.
