In Jer. 22:24—30 a curse is pronounced upon this former king of Judah. There it is predicted that none of his seed should prosper sitting upon David's throne. Had the Lord been the natural son of Joseph, who was descended from Jeconiah, He could never reign in power and righteousness because of the curse. But Christ came through Mary's line, not Joseph's. As the adopted son of Joseph, the curse upon Jeconiah's seed did not affect Him.

- As you say, time stamps. FWIW I don't like that very much, because time is often so weakly correlated with progress / "breakingness," but it has its proponents.

From Antinet (2022), zettelkasten is to publish, not merely to collect facts. Shortform blog posts could anchor parts of a larger outline for a later book.
Something we haven't observed yet are hyperlinks automatically created from a web of documents. This is usually a manual process: which word or words to select, and which specific URL to go to.
