From: Architectural Analysis of MIDAS, Mnemory, and OpenKL

Are you relying too much on external search engines instead of building a personal memory system?

Offloading all retrieval to public web search prevents you from building deep, associative mental models. A local-first memory system forces you to actively synthesize information instead of passively consuming it.
