The more I deal with the topic of PKM the more I'm inclined to agree. My life tends to compartmentalize into projects with related themes. The themes are the only thing I have to keep in my head, the rest is a matter of orbiting a specific approach and taking notes towards that. Arbitrarily sucking up notes from all my interactions isn't project-focused and raises the noise floor. I could be spending that time drilling and internalizing the stuff I definitely will use, so that it's as near at hand as possible. A related aspect of this is that there's a kind of implicit scope creep to technologizing your information management, where the end point is to have "Personalized Wikipedia" or something. Well, I'm not building Wikipedia. I am compressing knowledge that is, for the most part, already in Wikipedia. Why would I do the same work twice?
