The New B2B Model - Brain to Brain

Hey Friends, 👋

Let me introduce you to B2B - but not the boring old "Business to Business" you're used to hearing about. We're talking about Brain to Brain, baby! 🧠💻 In this article, we're going to explore the idea of building a second brain - a digital memory bank - to help you keep all that valuable information you come across organized and at your fingertips. Think of it as a way to offload some of the burden from your biological brain, and give it a helping hand (or should we say, a helping Silicon-based twin?). But that's not all - we'll also dive into the amazing possibilities that open up when you connect your second brain to others' brains. Join me for an exciting journey through the world of Brain to Brain, a new B2B model that you won't want to miss! Oh, and if you're wondering how to build your very own second brain, be sure to check out my previous article from March 12th.

12-Mar-23 How to Build Your Second Brain

Hey there! I’m excited to share with you my personal journey of using digital notes as a way to sustain my learning habits and effectively organize my notes. Since January 1st, 2022, I’ve been documenting my everyday learnings on Notion and sharing them on Instagram. Some of my friends have

Your Biological Brain to Your Second Brain 🧠💻

Are you tired of feeling like your brain is about to explode from information overload? Well, fear not! The solution to your problem is a "second brain" - a personalized digital memory library that reflects your thinking process and helps you retrieve and organize your thoughts. It's like having a digital assistant that knows you better than you know yourself! 👩‍💻📚(It’s usually in the form of a digital note-taking app, like Obsidian or Evernote, while I am currently using Notion.)

Think of it as an extension of your biological brain, but with a much larger storage capacity that can relieve the burden on your first brain and protect its health. The brain is a wild and wacky place, and sometimes our best ideas come in the most unexpected moments - like when we're in the shower or out for a walk. That's where the second brain comes in. It's like having a digital memory bank where you can capture all the crazy ideas🤯💡 and information that come your way.

You know, our biological brain is perfect at processing new information and thinking💭, but it's not so great at storing it. That's why it's important to have a second brain to capture those great ideas and information that come our way. If we don't capture them, we might easily lose them. With a second brain, we can store and organize all of our thoughts and ideas🗂️, making them easily accessible whenever we need them. (This is also how I use Notion to capture the thoughts I came up with while wandering around the city.)

But the second brain is more than just a place to store our random musings. It's also a place where we can make connections between seemingly unrelated pieces of information. These unexpected connections can often prompt interesting new ideas and insights. As Steve Jobs once said, "Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while." So, by using our second brain to connect the dots between different ideas, we can tap into our own creativity and come up with new and innovative solutions. 🌟🌈

And the best part? The second brain allows us to have a higher granularity of life. By using our notes and reflections as anchors to climb up the steep learning curve, we can maximize our mediocre intelligence and build consistency. We can clarify our goals, track our progress, and focus on what really matters. With a second brain, we can achieve more than we ever thought possible. It's like having a secret weapon in our back pocket - one that helps us harness the power of our own brain to its fullest potential. 💪🧠

From Your Second Brain to Others’ Brain 🤝🧠

The second 🧠 brain is not only a personal tool for storing and retrieving information, but it also has the potential for creating a collective intelligence. By digitizing and structuring the information left, like their speeches, books📚, key decisions💡 in life by great minds of the past, we can use algorithms to generate virtual persons and extract their wisdom. For example, we can ask Stephen Hawking or Steve Jobs what would they suggest to college graduates in order to thrive in the AI era, and the algorithm can provide inferential answers based on existing structured data. 🤖📝👨‍💼👩‍💼

The previous paragraph got me thinking, what's the point of leaving behind a bunch of money or material possessions when we can leave behind something much more valuable - our knowledge and spirit! 💰💡 This isn't just for the big shots and superstars, ordinary folks like us can do it too! Our second brain, or external digital memory, can be our very own legacy that we can pass down to future generations. It's like a never-ending inheritance that can be inherited and passed down from generation to generation, just like human genes! Even bits and pieces of our knowledge and spirit can be passed down and cherished by our loved ones. 💻📚🧬

So let's start investing in our second brain and create a legacy that extends beyond our physical existence. You never know, your great-great-grandchildren might just stumble upon your second brain and be amazed by the incredible knowledge and spirit you've left behind! Who knows, they might even find a way to bring you back to life virtually! 👀

So go ahead and start building your second brain today. Your future generations will thank you for it! 💪🏼

Cheers,

Sherman
