The new trend to omit notes and bibliography/references
William von Hippel, Social Paradox (2025): Robert Wright, The God Test (2026): I find this trend of not including footnotes and references in recently published books disappointing. Granted, these books are not meant to be academic, and the lay readers they target may not care about the fine print. Personally, though, I… -
Zettelkasten revelations anybody?
As indicated in my introductory post (and not unlike Edmund in his most recent post), I look for surprising revelations when going to my zettelkasten. I have made one zettel "zettelkasten revelations", a screenshot of which I paste below. Not rocket science yet, but getting there. I wonder what your most impressive nuggets… -

Re: How you think the a Perfect ZK App should be?
Not enough notes per screen!
I’m trying to simulate the workflow of physical index cards, where I can lay out 20-30 related cards on the table at once, and see how they are connected, to make sense of them. I also have a “Zen” mode, where I can reduce the opacity of all other cards and keep only the current card and its… -
How you think the a Perfect ZK App should be?
Hello Folks, I opened this discussion here just to ask you something that for me is interesting. What do you think a perfect ZettelKasten App should have? * For example: * I know that exists too much discussion about the perfect method, because there are people that defends the Folgettzel, Atomicity, etc.. And also, there… -
