Across 80 years of knowledge management evolution, from Vannevar Bush's Memex in 1945 through Niklas Luhmann's Zettelkasten through David Allen's GTD through Tiago Forte's Second Brain to Andrej Karpathy's 2026 AI-driven system, the fatal structural failure mode has been the maintenance burden, which has finally been removed.

Anil NattuEvidence Quote
“It is truly remarkable to look back at the timeline. 80 years ago, amidst the ashes of World War II, Vannevar Bush dreamed of the Memex desk... And finally, in 2026, Andrej Karpathy introduced the tireless robotic librarian that makes the entire dream eternally sustainable. The fatal structural failure mode of the second brain, that devastating maintenance cliff where the cost of upkeep finally exceeds the value of the knowledge, has finally been removed.”
