Zettelkasten for the AI age — curated sources to validated building blocks.
Curated sources → AI-extracted knowledge highlights → validated → reusable building blocks for writing and talks. A Zettelkasten for the AI age.
Luhmann's insight was never the box — it was that atomic, linked notes let ideas collide and produce something you didn't plan. What always killed it in practice was the labour: extracting, phrasing and filing every note by hand, forever, until you quit.
The AI age changes exactly that half. Extraction, linking and contradiction-hunting are machine work now. What stays yours is the part that was always the value: choosing what to let in, and judging whether an extracted idea is actually true and actually yours.
So the chain runs: curated sources in → AI extracts candidate highlights → rules and you validate → what survives becomes a reusable block for writing, talks and training. Zettelkasten with the tedium removed and the judgement kept.
