I interpreted the poem less as a literal manifesto against the practicality of blogs and more as a metaphor for how the format impacts us psychologically. Blogs, being chronological and linear, feel a bit disposable—you post and move on—which promotes rot. Wikis, on the other hand, are dynamic and interconnected, inviting ongoing growth and freshness.

I still don't really really agree with that either, though. I tried swapping out my simple static blog for a MediaWiki instance and quickly realized why you don't see many people doing that anymore. Maintaining a "complex abyss of ever-evolving thoughts" and actually writing stuff are often mutually exclusive

MediaWiki is too much of a pain to maintain for single user.

I use Vimwiki: easy to version control, no database to maintain, familiar (to me) interface. Back up by git push/pull to/from many places.

As someone who regularly finds pages on his own wiki that have not been changed for 10 years (and forgotten): I kinda disagree :P
