+# Resources
+
+Hand-picked links for onboarding into Jacob's worldview. Originally compiled by Jacob in a text thread to **[[David Mao]]** (April 2026, just met at "Maddy's party"). Reorganized here for general use.
+
+The links are clustered by **what kind of onboarding** they do. Pick the cluster that matches what you're after:
+
+| Cluster | When to start here |
+|---|---|
+| [[Vision Onboarding]] | "I want to understand the big picture / IdeaFlow / Humanity 3.0" |
+| [[Paradigm Onboarding]] | "I want to install the operating system, not just learn the apps" — NVC, open-tools attitude |
+| [[Life Upgrade Onboarding]] | "I want to actually live differently — yoga, contemplative depth" |
+| [[Meditation Starting Points]] | "I want to start a practice today, beginner-safe" |
+
+## All links at a glance
+
+| Link | Purpose | Cluster |
+|---|---|---|
+| [otter.ai recording](https://otter.ai/u/ZLVjGRUaEvc0OMeAVPaq-90B3Yk?utm_source=copy_url) | The 2-hour vision conversation that seeded this wiki | [[Vision Onboarding]] |
+| [This wiki](https://jacobcole.wikihub.md/vision-convo) | The structured version of that conversation | [[Vision Onboarding]] |
+| [Engelbart — Guiding Philosophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Engelbart#Guiding_philosophy) | The intellectual lineage of [[Collective Intelligence]] | [[Vision Onboarding]] |
+| [quests.world](https://quests.world/) | A Jacob project — see [[Quests World]] | [[Vision Onboarding]] |
+| [nvc.jacobcole.net](https://nvc.jacobcole.net/) | Jacob's NVC onboarding site | [[Paradigm Onboarding]] |
+| [github.com/opentoolshub](https://github.com/opentoolshub) | Jacob's open-source tools org | [[Paradigm Onboarding]] |
+| [yoga.jacobcole.net](https://yoga.jacobcole.net/) | The book *Religiousness in Yoga* — six-page excerpt | [[Life Upgrade Onboarding]] |
+| [californiayoga.com/new-to-yoga](https://www.californiayoga.com/new-to-yoga) | The studio Jacob recommends for [[Iyengar Yoga]] | [[Meditation Starting Points]] |
+
+## Why this is its own section
+
+It's tempting to scatter these links into individual entity / project / practice pages. The reason to keep them collected here too:
+
+- **Onboarding is a journey, not a node.** Someone landing cold needs *order*, not just access.
+- **Recommendations rot in trees.** Putting all the "if you only read one thing about X" links in one place makes them maintainable as a set.
+- **The cluster reveals the philosophy.** The set of links Jacob hands a new friend *is* the philosophy in compressed form.
+
+## Meta — this wiki as onboarding artifact
+
+A self-referential note worth preserving: when David Mao asked his AI to build him a personal wiki on WikiHub in [[Andrej Karpathy|Karpathy]] LLM-wiki style, **Jacob sent him *this wiki* as the example**. That happened the day after the vision conversation and ~6 hours after this wiki went live.
+
+So this wiki is now functioning, in its first day of existence, as:
+1. A reference for what's in the vision conversation
+2. A worked example of the Karpathy LLM-wiki pattern
+3. An onboarding artifact for new people in Jacob's circle
+
+See [[LLM Wiki as Medium]] for the meta-treatment.
