For years I used the possibility of civilisation collapsing

[(Anonymous)]

as motivation to write coherent notes in maths (even if I thought it was obvious) and to write out my working neatly in full. If society collapsed, and my books were important surviving documents, could people use them to recover the lost mathematics?

It also served as motivation to fully memorise seemingly pointless things that I could just look up if I needed them in real life: what if society collapsed and only my memories remained?

Ahahahahaha I've definitely done this too! Like, in philosophy, I'll be taking notes and I'll think, "What if this notebook is all that some future civilization has to tell them about Plato and Aristotle... I'd better take really detailed notes so they can understand what things were like." It's definitely the way my thoughts run. Weird way to think, maybe. But you are not alone.

I do this as well! :D

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I was suddenly transported back in time with nothing but my class notes.

It helps motivate me to pay more attention, take better notes, and learn how to apply classroom concepts to real world situations.

There actually were scholars at the 13th-century University of Paris whose work we know only from their students' notes. (Any professor's worst nightmare!)

Not just that... isn't there a lot of things where we only really know about it from student's notes? I'm pretty sure there's things well into the 19th century where that's the case - for instance, de Saussure's major work, some of Weber's work. It's much more common than you would think well into the modern era.

Oh! And the big example I was thinking of is that a lot of Hegel's work was published posthumously based on notes taken at lectures he had given.

That sounds way cooler and more meaningful than my methods for picking clothes! Rock on.
