Negative Comment Sparked Deep Dive
- King began writing seriously after getting a negative comment on Twitter that made him rethink his approach.
- This experience led him to deeply study Niklas Luhmann's original Zettelkasten paper and refine his understanding.

- It functions as a giant tree of linked ideas, allowing systematic cross-pollination of thoughts.
