I was the only one in my class in law school who used mind maps and spaces repetition (back then on a Palm Pilot). After I graduated, new professors came in who now are popularizing such methods, writing books about it, etc.. I think it’s a zeitgeist thing. If you’re too early, nobody will take you seriously. But at some point the tide is strong enough to break through. Kinda the same as with AI/automation. I tried selling this to lawyers in 2020 and failed miserably. Three years later, ChatGPT became a thing, and now every lawyer wants a piece of AI. It’s not the better mousetrap. It’s not people wanting new things that moves the world. It’s people not wanting to be left behind. (Slightly paraphrasing the late Charlie Munger.)
