       | The 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.

         | and see if it comes up with better diagrams.

       | These 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).

       | What is the copyright on these? (On phone and there is nothing
       | else on the page)

       | Very difficult to guess the description based on the image.

         | I see it as, I have a single topic on the left, then I get

         | introduce more distractions, and so on...

         | 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?

         | 
         | Replace time there with attention, resources, focus, effort,
         | etc.

         | That's the thing with these abstract images, possibilities are

         | On the same note, please buy my abstract white painting. It's
         | only a million. ;)
