    1. The problem arises when less-native, often externally imposed systems (driven by capitalist or institutional agendas) treat these messy, friction-full spaces as broken or backwards.

      The likelihood of it increases with social distance (no community) and with places where the underlying logic is different (vgl [[Waarheid en kennis kent historische periodes 20250914161603]] Foucault's periods of epistemic assumptions), at a smaller scale), clashes of differently positions 'Overton' type of windows of accepted discourse, and Rorty being forced wording the new in the language of the old. It's a language came underneath.

    2. It’s important to recognise that friction – the mess, the slowness, the need for constant negotiation – is not a flaw in native paths, it’s a virtue. It’s how trust, mutuality, and accountability are sustained over time.

      again yes. (Same is true for e.g. the EU. What others see as it weaknesses, endless talk and no swift action, is precisely why it endures and has more resilience and robustness than acknowledged)

    1. Vid overall is a bit meh, but the label clarity maximisation is useful to express the difference to productivity aims. Then starts to idealise these types of people as analog first, ruthless curators, and then as cutting out social stuff bc not helping their thinking. That's the meh. Puts purity porn as replacement of productivity porn. Joan Westenberg https://www.joanwestenberg.com/

      Does point to [[Rust is geen restpost 20200531155900]] and reducing friction wrt (creative) thinking, as well as 'output' measured in insights etc not artefacts. Agreed, yet ultimately artefacts are the only output, also of thinking. More like Matuschak , and my k-work artisan approach. (Joan Westenberg posts in a strict rhythm themselves, so do measure artefacts as output too)

    1. Speed and efficiency are, in my opinion, arbitrary gauges of success. The shear number of productivity czars prophesying about a "future without friction" are innumerable to be almost comical. In contrast to these efficiency futurists, when it comes to zettelkasten, I am pro-friction. But, not just any friction. Eufriction. Eufriction is good friction. Just as weight training, writing a book, and giving birth can all be considered a form of eustress[6], so too is folgezettel a form of eufriction.
