There's a 745 mile front of the Ukraine war where neither side have been able to pierce for months because of drone warfare. It's definitely not too early to worry about it.
Any thoughts of representing topics across different notes or pages visually? I have always wanted something similar to the https://twitchatlas.com/ but for topics of interest to me.

I know I am not articulating this the best. I am a visual learner and going through pages and pages in OneNote and cherrytree has been ineffective.
I've read it for the first time today and although I recognize the cringe factor, I recognize something else much more deeply. Which is that feeling of alienation. Lost not because I am necessarily more intelligent than my peers, just thinking in different ways entirely. Being forced to align my thought processes was torture and it regularly failed. I wish I understood better what was happening as it happened.

Thank you for putting so eloquently what I was feeling while reading that. Half way through, I remembered that I had read that article years ago, and it had me worried at the time. Since then, we've seen no drop in iPhone sales, that's for sure.
