My sister and I are both academics trying to build our Zettelkasten systems and we started sharing notes and references, but now there's this weird competitive dynamic where we're both hoarding our best insights and I can't tell if we're helping each other grow or just feeding some intellectual rivalry. We used to think out loud together easily but now every conversation feels strategic.
More people experience this than they realize.
The introduction of formal knowledge systems has transformed natural intellectual intimacy into strategic withholding.
