As a sort of digital "happening," it's...fun? Interesting? "Neat?"

As something I will ever reference, it's basically useless. Which, I feel bad saying, because that suggests that I'm somehow considered in any way in this graph. But, the reason I mention it is because this and the rest of the "here's all my xyz knowledge/notes laid out for you to peruse" graphs and digital gardens are just bad ways of engaging with someone else's ideas.

The idea is there: start anywhere! Follow the meandering path! But, the experience is more: "well, I guess I need to start at the beginning again" (digital gardens) and "I guess I'll just pick a random node cuz they're all supposed to be equally interesting?" (the OP)

I’ve always felt like the graph view was useful to me, as the creator, but anyone consuming a zettel / knowledge base / digital garden / whatever people are calling it these days - you need a more accessible index formatted specifically for discovery before they are useful.

I think the most useful data visualization is... a timeline. Why? Because life is also a timeline. There can be other organization and visualisations based on that but i think that should be the central way to visualize data.
