You don't want to meticulously file, because search will be so good that the idea filing and sorting will become just obsolete. An actually parrot does that. It's just four big categories, projects, areas, resources and archives, across your entire life. Any further filing than that is a waste of time. If it doesn't help you get stuff done, it's not in the system. There aren't things in building a second brain that have survived years and years of editing and refinement that are just there because they're intellectually interesting. Yet thers just no room for it.
