- mdonahoe 4y agoAre there any descriptions that I'm missing? Why is this one called "Distraction" https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/5aec677df005411b1a6c7944ed225425/19e4b195/20220717_184926.jpg https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/5aec677df005411b1a6c794...
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoI see it as, I have a single topic on the left, then I get distracted by another, so my attention splits.Those rabbit hole introduce more distractions, and so on...
- lgas 4y agoI'm guessing because you start one with one big thing on the left and end up with 16 small things on the right. So now it's harder to figure out which ones are important or valuable, etc. so you're more likely to spend time distracted by things which are not as important or valuable. But, who knows?
- TrueSlacker0 4y agoYou set out to change a light bulb and end up working in the garden. Leaving so many tasks unfinished on the journey.
- ctxc 4y agoYou set out to do something for an hour. You're distracted by something else, taking away a portion of that hour. More distractions, more time taken away. Replace time there with attention, resources, focus, effort, etc. That's the thing with these abstract images, possibilities are endless. On the same note, please buy my abstract white painting. It's only a million. ;)
- psygn89 4y agoI like the "Cover, Story" one
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoI enjoy the overall simplicity and the 'devious' pressure to comprehend the connection between the text and graphics. What is the copyright on these? (On phone and there is nothing else on the page)
- vavooom 4y agoAlso interested if these are free-use
- techzerd 4y agoGood stuff
- amelius 4y agoVery difficult to guess the description based on the image.
- mbreese 4y agoBut is it easy to see the concept of the description in the image? I believe that is the goal. Some worked better than others, but I think most of them are pretty good.
- keeptrying 4y agoThe vast majority of people on this site love being shown either a new idea or an old idea expressed differently. These diagrams provide that little shot of that creative emotion which is fun. Don't know how useful it is but I "feel" like I learn something from either the way a concept has been portrayed or a genuine new juxtaposition of ideas.
- amelius 4y agoIt would be interesting to feed these descriptions to DALL-E and see if it comes up with better diagrams.
- pessimizer 4y agoThese are like riddles. Very neat.
- rexpop 4y agoThese are well done, but they're hardly universally agreeable sentiments. I find too many of them trite, self-defeating or otherwise disappointing, eg advice for defectors, rather than cooperators (in a Prisoners Dilemma sense).
- gitgud 4y ago> What you can imagine, depends on what you know Overlapping circles is such an elegant way to show that.
- anibalin 4y agoFantastic. Some are very clever.
