Collections - Simple Reminders

**Simple Reminders: Master Quotation, Passage, and Thought Index** **Simple Reminders** is a corpus of addressable quotations, passages, and thoughts designed to work simultaneously as poster sources, readable publication pages, and nodes in a reciprocal knowledge graph. This collection is the master discovery layer for the whole Reminder library. It includes Edge-sourced passages, dramatic and literary material, scientific and technical quotations, and material drawn from other verified publications and recordings. Publication and provenance boundary Folder state is workflow state. Entries in named category folders form the production corpus. `reminders/unverified/` is a verification queue, not a published category, and its entries remain separated below until their exact wording, attribution, and source context are established. `reminders/Examples/` contains format demonstrations. Parser fixtures under `reminders/tests/` are controls and are deliberately excluded. The authoritative provenance for a quotation remains its own `Sources and Context` section and linked original source. ## Self-contained editing and auditable provenance A Reminder may use source-supported square-bracketed antecedents, marked omissions, light punctuation repair, and necessary context trimming so its poster text carries its own subject and proposition. Brackets identify editorial words, not words spoken by the contributor; parentheses do not mark such insertions. Preserve the contributor's conditions, uncertainty, scope, and epistemic posture. More substantial faithful rewording is labeled as an adaptation rather than a verbatim quotation. The top blockquote is the readable Reminder. Its `## Sources and Context` section is the audit trail: the exact original excerpt, direct publication URL, a verified timecode or other precise locator when available, the reason for each edit, and links and explanation for material source disputes. No timecode should be invented. The social share block repeats the readable version with its canonical permalink. This collection indexes the corpus; follow each Reminder to audit its wording. Publication uses a proportionate source check: confirm the attributed wording in a direct or credible near-primary source, inspect enough adjacent context to avoid changing its meaning, and include a usable reference. Extra corroboration and exhaustive source analysis are reserved for material disputes. Faithful, visibly marked antecedents can make an otherwise verified quotation ready to publish. ## How to read this collection 1. Use the category status table for a compact map of the corpus and its acquisition queue. 2. Use the production index to browse every category-filed Reminder. 3. Use the verification queue to find promising material that must not yet be represented as source-verified. 4. Use [Edge](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-edge) and [Westworld](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-westworld) when you want source-specific provenance and interpretation rather than the corpus-wide topical view. 5. Follow each Reminder outward through its Related Articles and Collections and Related Topics sections; follow the reciprocal quotation sections in the wiki back to the Reminder. ## Corpus status This generated snapshot indexes **2,425 content entries**: **1,879 production reminders**, **544 unverified candidates**, and **2 format examples**. It covers **42 production category folders** and preserves **30 intended categories** in the verification queue. | Category | Production | Unverified queue | Combined | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AI Control | 139 | 15 | 154 | | AI-Science Doomers and Anti-Science Doomers | 263 | 0 | 263 | | Abundance | 17 | 7 | 24 | | Antifragility | 14 | 0 | 14 | | Capture | 26 | 0 | 26 | | Civilization | 105 | 37 | 142 | | Connectomics | 15 | 10 | 25 | | Consciousness | 104 | 83 | 187 | | Conservation | 1 | 7 | 8 | | Cosmic Perspective | 28 | 20 | 48 | | Counterterrorism | 15 | 0 | 15 | | Cybernetics | 45 | 5 | 50 | | Deception | 6 | 0 | 6 | | Deep Time | 6 | 6 | 12 | | Digital Afterlife | 9 | 14 | 23 | | Digital Life | 11 | 8 | 19 | | Evolution | 210 | 19 | 229 | | Existential Risk | 29 | 19 | 48 | | Exploration | 10 | 17 | 27 | | Extended Mind | 10 | 0 | 10 | | Extinction | 7 | 6 | 13 | | Human Animality | 95 | 1 | 96 | | Identity | 39 | 48 | 87 | | Information | 149 | 28 | 177 | | Machine Succession | 153 | 40 | 193 | | Mathematics | 10 | 9 | 19 | | Memory | 18 | 9 | 27 | | Mind Upload | 18 | 15 | 33 | | Moral Enhancement | 6 | 0 | 6 | | Neural Interfaces | 57 | 7 | 64 | | Personhood | 17 | 0 | 17 | | Planetary Mind | 6 | 0 | 6 | | Posthumanism | 6 | 0 | 6 | | Preservation | 22 | 7 | 29 | | Risk Debate | 18 | 3 | 21 | | Scientific Literacy | 68 | 62 | 130 | | Selection | 20 | 4 | 24 | | Simulation | 20 | 25 | 45 | | Space Survival | 8 | 12 | 20 | | Surveillance | 26 | 0 | 26 | | Thermodynamics | 4 | 1 | 5 | | Westworld | 49 | 0 | 49 | | **Total** | **1,879** | **544** | **2,423** | ## Source-specific collections and major routes - **AI, science, and anti-science risk counterpoint:** [The End Is Near — AI Doom, Anti-Science Panic, and the Primates Who Sell Technological Exile](https://bryantmcgill.com/article-the-end-is-near) supplies the primary argument, while [AI-Science Doomers and Anti-Science Doomers](https://bryantmcgill.com/collections/AI-Science+Doomers+and+Anti-Science+Doomers) gathers its sourced counterpoints and Reminder corpus while preserving each speaker's distinct policy position. - **Antifragility and behavioral pricing:** [Chimping Out](https://bryantmcgill.com/book-chimping-out) is the category hub for the Antifragility Reminder and its pricing framework; [Behavioral Pricing](https://bryantmcgill.com/wiki/Behavioral+Pricing), [Pricing Literacy](https://bryantmcgill.com/wiki/Pricing+Literacy), and [Deterrence Pricing](https://bryantmcgill.com/wiki/Deterrence+Pricing) explain what it means for harmful conduct to become cheap or expensive. - **Institutional quotation archive:** [Edge](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-edge) preserves the complete Edge Annual Question indexes, direct response provenance, promotion ledgers, and the Edge-derived subset of this corpus. - **Dramatic consciousness archive:** [Westworld](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-westworld) and [Westworld Episode Exploration](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-westworld-exploration) route the Westworld quotations and Robert Ford monologues into episode, character, and consciousness-engineering contexts. - **Project history and publishing system:** [Simple Reminders — Global Influence Operations and Information Warfare](https://bryantmcgill.com/project-influence-operations) documents the larger project, its publishing architecture, reach, feedback systems, and strategic lessons. - **Consciousness route:** [Consciousness Continuity](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-consciousness-continuity) organizes reminders about identity, memory, persistence, reconstruction, transfer, and hosting. - **Successor route:** [Machine Succession](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-machine-succession) organizes reminders about evolutionary transition, artificial intelligence, civilizational inheritance, and successor carriers. - **Technical route:** [Neurotech](https://bryantmcgill.com/collection-neurotech) organizes reminders about connectomics, neural sensing, decoding, stimulation, interfaces, standards, and neurorights. - **Directed-evolution intake:** [Directed Human Evolution Quotation Queue](https://bryantmcgill.com/research/Directed+Human+Evolution+Quotation+Queue+-+2026-09-12) tracks 150 new source leads separately from the production Reminder index; its statuses identify verified promotions, earlier matches, and candidates still awaiting source checks. - **Human-animality intake:** [Human Animal Quotation Queue](https://bryantmcgill.com/research/Human+Animal+Quotation+Queue+-+2026-09-12) tracks 200 numbered candidate spans, distinguishes clipped evidence phrases from complete statements, and links only source-checked promotions into production. - **Focused human-beast intake:** [Human Beast Focused Quotation Queue](https://bryantmcgill.com/research/Human+Beast+Focused+Quotation+Queue+-+2026-09-12) records 62 additional diagnosis, remediation, and successor leads with exact production links, repaired source passages, overlapping objects, and unresolved source checks. - **External human-animal source mining:** [External Human Animal](https://bryantmcgill.com/research/External+Human+Animal/README) tracks complete scientific interviews, lectures, essays, papers, source-level passage leads, and unpublished candidate quotations outside Edge. It has no fixed category cap and keeps source mines distinct from verified Reminder publication. ## Production reminder index The sections below enumerate every content file currently placed in a production category.
