Ciao Si, Interesting thread!
I read the article on Incremental note-taking <https://thesephist.com/posts/inc/> ... I'm not so negative about it as maybe some feel. To me it illustrates a generic issue on the internet. That we UNDER-conceptualize what the whole thing is about. On the POSITIVE side the writer has an explicit NARROW brief that they are pursing. In that I think it is informative & useful for certain types of apps/purposes. On the NEGATIVE side it falls into a basic trap. In philosophy you'd call it a "*category error*". What happens is that the writer *conflates *AN objective of their own with A GLOBAL *universal rule*., as if they were co-terminus. They aren't. So the "reach" is just not credible! However, it has to be said, that, generally, the internet tends to foster such errors as *we have no agreed shared understanding* of the technological ramifications of meaning-making yet.
