😆 – Thx for that upfront reaction!

My unordered list of thoughts as to that:

1. your principal idea seems still a good one to me, regardless of PKM

2. … I now wonder – even more than before – what the PKM´lers in this travel boat think, given your assessment, and cross-reading it with threads like this (partly a reason for my particular reaction): [Should I Invest in Fibery? (individual PKM use case)](https://community.fibery.io/t/should-i-invest-in-fibery-individual-pkm-use-case/3590). (It´s also one of the things that brought me here…)

3. This is not the place… but I´d be a bit cautious personally with a too categorical juxtaposition of ‘personal knowledge management’ and ‘collective intelligence’ (a very theory heavy term).  
For one, IMO there is no _personal_ in the old sense anymore in PKM – not in the time of social media, blogosphere, everything-is-a-project-times, knowledge aggregation etc etc. Of course, there is individual use… but …  
Then, with such grand categories it’s good to be precise and also see about their locus and anchoring in topological space; meaning, I think there is some social _intelligence_ coming out of a good _collective knowledge management (tool)_. But, the same goes for individual intelligence, leaning on / being augmented by a good PKM system. There is no free floating collective intelligence remote from social beings – and so I would not take this ‘intelligence effect’ (collective intelligence – coming along with the “LAM/T” part of the thing; the tool & method side associated with PKM nowadays) and juxtapose it with the whole equation of “_ **H** _-LAM/T”.  
– But still, I see what you are saying, and it certainly fits the signal landscape somewhat. 😀

So, I certainly sense an “evolving focus” has some reverberations in different directions, and would also foreseeably lead to some reservations to take up some (… additional / out-of-perceived-scope… ) ‘PKM’–impulses, ideas, requests, visions etc. (– Others here also talked about it; and it´s in the papers…)

– So, all that is why I am still exploring how Fibery works (or not) as PKM in some more ‘traditional’, but nevertheless always evolving sense. While, still, I approach it as generally looking at the way Fibery does KM generally, mainly. 🫡

Overall, I guess your proposal just spoke to the community pal in me, the one that also believes culture and cultivation is as important for knowledge / intelligence apps as it is for forum … ehm… culture 😀 🌻  
But let´s not distract from your core proposal in all this… 🫡

Just my thoughts / reactions. Thx again for your care!
