Our book club started using shared Zettelkasten principles to track our discussions but half the group is getting really into the methodology and half just wants to talk about books, and now our meetings feel like they're about optimizing our note-taking system rather than exploring ideas together. We're spending more time on the meta-work than the actual thinking.
More people experience this than they realize.
A shared intellectual practice is fragmenting along methodological lines, obscuring its original purpose.
