All the work was done manually. We just selected those essays which has a structure, summarized either in bullet points or headings. We edited each fact, reducing text, because with icon you don't need as much text. Regarding automation I experimented with text extraction (using abstractive text summarization) but haven't got good results yet.

Understood, thanks. The "Where Are The Big Ideas" is my favourite.
Nice, the infographic is loosely based on his essay "Schlep Blindness". I recommend to read the original essay as well

"How to hold a program in once head" - is my favorite one.
