Like the same person would write completely opposite in the same style ten years ago, but now that PKM are all the rage they need to reassert themselves as “not-like-the-other” by burning everything to the ground?
And instead of just logging off, the dramatic deletion. He frames this as the end of a phase but I suspect he's still in the middle of something. I wish him luck and strength.
Throwing notes away is not growing. Growing is understanding that inanimate things don't have control over your life.
This whole "philosophical" article that basically says "I've removed my notes because they were giving me anxiety" is a confirmation that this is just yet another phase in author's life.
You don’t get to define that. The author does, it’s their life.
The action taken here was not just the deletion, it was the reflecting, the identification of a problem, the thinking of a solution, the courage to follow through with something irreversible, the willingness to try something.
Do you know that this person was writing the opposite ten years ago? And even if they did, people can’t try something and then change their mind? Is that worthy of ridicule now?
Frankly, making fun of someone for being “hipster” says more about the person doing the comment than the target of it. It’s a basic, meaningless insult.
