Personally I’ve realized that legacy shouldn't be a goal, and it shouldn't weigh you down if you feel like you're not moving towards it. Most people who influenced the course of history simply did what was important to them, and they did it with integrity. But not everyone who does this is destined to be remembered for centuries; after all, there are 8 billion of us. Architecture serves as a good illustration of this. There are iconic structures - the Sydney Opera House, the Guggenheim Museum, the Chrysler Building, etc. Buildings designed by great architects are meant to attract attention, stand out, and become city symbols. But not every building is designed to be such. In most situations, an architect integrates a building into the existing streetscape. If they don't curb their ego, they might immortalize their name by disregarding the street's integrity and creating a unique object. But it will stick out from the fabric and harm the urban structure as a whole. A good architect will create a building that won't be noticeable at all - it will be such a natural extension of the street, yet it will be done with quality and attention to detail. P.S Found Diamond's Collapse - can't wait to read it, just like Guns, Germs, and Steel. Thanks, @megafoodie

Roam or Obsidian is your central planning niché that encompass all with queries. Never shy away from using tools alongside like Notion, HackMD, Apple Notes. Or you can simply build a simple local app for this planning flow. What matters is that these external sources are somehow reflected/ mirrorred in your local, the certain parts of which can then easily be converted into a public facing digital garden or a memex. People think that managing complexity is a midwit op but they are just simple. In the course of time when you are drifting from Teams to Mattermost to Once to Slack etc., you'll accumulate enough wealth not to give a fuck about what tool you use as long as it's secure, maintainable and fast enough. Do you really think pros like Dalio did only use paper to collate that wealth of knowledge that now runs on an AGI of its own? If you are ultra busy and need to operate even in more domains, yes a combination of an append-only doc and a base would come handy, too.
