Hear my incoherent ramblings about Zettelkasten to fall asleep to #ASMR
Protesilaos Stavrou had me for a 2.5h 'interview' format and at the linked time of 1:27h we started to talk about Zettelkasten:
- how you pronounce it
- what goes inside
- sidebar about Luhmann's theory, a summary made up on a whim
- externalizing thought to discover which survives the test of time
- project archives vs life-long usage
- writing, as assembling stuff from notes
- retrieval vs interpretation in the moment
- passage of time, chiefly introduced by you using the Zettelkasten
if that hour wasn't enough, we talked about performance value in art and stuff before, reminding me of recent AI/LLM discussion here; also attention/interaction grabbing online.
The constant here is: work.

When you talked about Zettelkasten using the example of a PhD, it was nice to think again about why I use Zettelkasten. It was fun listening. Thank you.
