2026 represents the first time in human history when we have access to systems that do not just passively store information, but actively work against that information while we sleep and do other things - systems that can classify, route, summarize, surface, or nudge without us having to remember to do any of those activities, representing an entirely new capability in human cognition.

Traditional second brain systems fail because they ask us to do cognitive work at exactly the wrong moment - they ask us to decide where a thought belongs when walking into a meeting, to tag it when driving, to name it properly when going to bed, and to choose folders in taxonomy when you just want relief and someone else to do the organizing.

For 500,000 years, humans have had essentially the same cognitive architecture with the ability to hold about four to seven things in working memory, terrible at retrieval, but great at pattern recognition when patterns are in front of us, and really bad at pattern recognition when patterns are scattered across time like six months of half-remembered conversations at work.
