90% published research is garbage put out by sad cronyist scholarly communities. Stuff at best worth indexing for broader trends in a PDF dump. You’d be choosing to live in an aestheticized landfill Old books would be slightly less sad: less garbagey, but even more dead.

I barely like the sight of my own paper copies of the few papers I’ve published. Tossed most of my physical paper collection (2-3 shelves of 3-ring binders) a few years ago — andvthats filtered and selected stuff. I still have a few hundred digital pdfs in Dropbox.

Okay i'm intrigued - and the organizational shortcomings are ultimately okay with you? No need for any sort of filing or more complex book mark system?

More than okay! The disorder is a feature not a bug. It means the hidden structure mirrors the complexity of the unknown, not justbof the known.

I also think allowances can be made for a more organized bookmarking system that's not front and center and doesn't ruin any of the initial appeal of the chaos that allows for discovery
