This fellow's system seems overcomplicated?

For me, the benefit of linked knowledge is just that I tend to forget a LOT of things, including many details of things I've learned in the past. For me, the principles and concepts remain, but all the steps and "how to do X" vanish rather quickly. So having essentially a personal documentation database (using Obsidian) that I can quickly jump into to recall lost knowledge is very important.

My "Second Brain" is not so much about making my brain better, as it is filling in the missing gaps of where my brain struggles at.

I do the same. Obsidian is just a pretty editor with a fast search/switcher, and everything beyond that is gravy. I find many people try to make it much more than it's capable of, and that's where we're running into problems.
