Was reminded of this during a #Microsoft event this morning. Still great.

Six panels, each displaying the same pattern of small circles/dots.

1. Data: simply the dots.
2. Information: the dots are now coloured in: some are green, others blue-grey.
3. Knowledge: a network of lines connects the dots.
4. Insight: two dots, at opposite sides, are highlighted in yellow.
5. Wisdom: a path joining the two highlighted dots is now also highlighted.
6. Conspiracy Theory: everything after stage 2 has been removed and replaced with a crude drawing of a unicorn.

@tgs If all conspiracy theories just lead to alicorns, i'd be ok with that. lol
@Raptornx01 @tgs Is my brain continually stuck in conspiracy mode then? Didn't expect that,,🦄
@tgs
I'm not sure if this reminds me more of an #entropic sequence or of the attached image:
@tgs that’s terrific! Hugh is the artist I think?
Hugh MacLeod

Hugh MacLeod has been drawing about life and business for over thirty years. At the heart of Hugh's work is one core belief: art has the power to

@KLB @tgs

I would love a confirmation on the author (I found only half the image on the website you linked to - did he add to it, did someone else?).
I teach students how to research (and why they should) and this is perfect for the course.
But since I ask them to always check and mention the source....

(and image search gives no definitive answer on the author and multiple versions for the second half)

@tgs @sonerre I’m pretty sure it’s his. Looks like his work.
@KLB @tgs Thanks :) I didn't know his work, but I'm exploring the website right now (so thanks for that too)
@tgs love that graphic:)
@tgs I want to make this my banner image.
@tgs
Great illustration of why I call them conspiracy fictions. Not theories.
@bettybarcode @tgs good point. Theories are actually something different. Conspiracy tales or stories is also good. 👍
@tgs Conspiracy pretty!🤓
@tgs
Not sure I'd agree that wisdom can be quantified in the same way as knowledge, but I still like the comic.
@tgs terrific - hadn't seen before!!
@tgs threat actors using VirtualAllocEx where Ex means Extra APT means that they are all in cahoots.
@tgs I want to believe (in alicorns).
@tgs From the kaballah. Insight is Kether. Wisdom is chokhmah. Conspiracy theories are the qlipoth of binah- understanding.
Qlipoth are the antithesis of their respective sephira, so, in terms of the kabbalah, the qlipoth of Bina is misunderstanding.
So conspiracy theories arise from misunderstanding.
A bit of wisdom from the ancients.
@tgs There is also this initial variant that was less popular
@tgs Would it be okay to share with credit to you?
@tgs Also that image is (but) data.

@tgs Awesome.

But whenever I see unicorns now I think

@tgs Not surprised this comes from Microsoft. They were the first to cooperate with the NSA and Bill Gates also thinks Edward Snowden is a criminal.
