On the Origin
The Libers were a set of OneNote notebooks I kept with notes, questions, and lists of potential readings. Something I used to get my thoughts out of my head into a format that could be useful later while reducing cognitive load. Since the origin of these notes, a substantial amount about me has changed. I no longer use proprietary cloud storage or services for any meaningful work, and rarely if that for the fatuous. Furthermore, the composition of all my notes is done in Emacs between my 7,1 Mac Pro and Mid 2015 MacBook Pro, both running Artix Linux.
On Structure
The structure of the notebooks deviates from the Libers in quite a few ways. The main being its simple formation under a single markdown note rather than the splitting of notes, questions, sources, etc. across many notes under a hierarchy of folders. I much prefer the new structure and have Cosma Shalizi to thank for that.
