I don't use Zettelkasten to organise my notes. I use the primordial soup method.

My notes are a broth of ideas from which my books emerge.

The danger is that it will do what it’s being designed to do: help rich corporations destroy the working class in pursuit of ever-greater profits and thus concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands.
