> The knowledge base should be primarily in your head. Making it easier to store and recall useful information, without using your brain, is a good thing that has fuelled progress in recent decades. The impermanence of the internet requires you to store useful information in your brain (you can't guarantee that it will be stored for when you need it), when really it would be better stored externally. The fact that the internet is impermanent encourages you to treat it as something you need to siphon information from (jam all the data into your head), rather than a safe store that you can depend on.
