Sonkhe Ahrens shares how traditional approaches to knowledge — highlighting, tagging, collecting — fail to support actual thinking. Drawing from Niklas Luhmann’s Zettelkasten method, Ahrens explains why insight isn’t something you plan for, but something you engineer into existence by connecting information deliberately over time. The conversation explores permanent notes, structured workflows, the failure of linear planning, and why writing is thinking — not a result of thinking. With over a thousand interviews as source material, Srini reflects on how note-taking became a creativity engine, not a storage problem. Together, they reveal a system where intellectual productivity compounds — and why the ability to retrieve insight is more powerful than hoarding information.
