The smarter you are, the easier it is to get stuck. Intelligence creates hesitation, doubt, and perfectionism. Success comes from motion, visibility, and repetition. Not mastery. Confidence is built through exposure.

Zettelkasten proposes a way of writing connected notes, and not just a collection of notes. The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base on top of a folder of plain text Markdown files that you can organize in whatever way you want.

In the World of CIA, understanding and leveraging human psychology is everything. 98% of people are trapped in their own PERCEPTION. The 2% that live in PERSPECTIVE can manipulate everybody else's perception. By the age of 25, we’re fully set in our worldview. The only way to change the worldview is if it is challenged.
