Online Magazine article on the Zettelkasten Method: Rank and File by Robert Minto (2021)

Apologies for cross-posting if this has been shared before. The article mentions the blog and The Archive. Gives a bit of a critical view of the Zettelkasten method (or rather, the unrealistic but widely advertised expectation/ideology that a zettelkasten will do the intellectual legwork as a sort of intellectual automaton).

Great article in my opinion.

Thanks, @mnlngl, for the reminder, and thanks @Sascha for the original link.
I've reread Robert's article with renewed interest.
This "kick-in-the-pants" sent me to my archive, and I found this note. I might share it here. It's rough and would probably be considered a structure note with the gory details behind the notes listed here.

The main take-a-way is It matters less what you read, he told me, emphasizing each word, than how you take notes.
