A thing I've discovered (at least for me but YMMV) -- these tools seem attractive because of how they mimic how our real brains work - but that's exactly why they're not that useful. Your brain is better at what they do than these tools.

- jrm4 5y agoI think you could make an argument that this is objectively false; otherwise the human race would have "evolved" the written word into something "diagrammy."
- Jeff_Brown 5y agoIt's one thing to have a diagram in your head, quite another to transmit that diagram to someone else's head -- or even to your own a month from now. That's where writing things down helps.
