At some point in the past I dove headfirst into the PKM craze where people are encouraged to link freely to find 'unexpected' and 'interesting' connections.

With the benefit of hindsight, I can't find many examples outside topics with clear hierarchies where this is better than relying on your mind. Too often I found myself linking instead of thinking.

The friction needed to search for a definition or context for me helps in forcing me to think about what a word may mean or the intent of a writer.
