MAGIC IN GRAPHS

THERE is a magic in graphs. The profile of a curve reveals in a flash a whole situation -the life history of an epidemic, a panic, or an era of prosperity. The curve informs the mind, awakens the imagination, convinces.

Graphs carry the message home. A universal language, graphs convey information directly to the mind. Without complexity there is imaged to the eye a magnitude to be remembered. Words have wings, but graphs interpret. Graphs are pure quantity, stripped of verbal sham, reduced to dimension, vivid, unescapable.

Graphs are all inclusive. No fact is too slight or too great to plot to a scale suited to the eye. Graphs may record the path of an ion or the orbit of the sun, the rise of a civilization, or the acceleration of a bullet, the climate of a century or the varying pressure of a heart beat, the growth of a business, or the nerve reactions of a child.

The graphic art depicts magnitudes to the eye. It does more. It compels the seeing of relations. We may portray by simple graphic methods whole masses of intricate routine, the organization of an enterprise, or the plan of a campaign. Graphs serve as storm signals for the manager, statesman, engineer; as potent narratives for the actuary, statist, naturalist; and as forceful engines of research for science, technology and industry. They display results. They disclose new facts and laws. They reveal discoveries as the bud unfolds the flower.

One thing academics should take away from Deep Research is that a substantial number of your readers in the future will likely be AI agents. Is your paper available in an open repository? Are any charts and graphs described well in the text? Is it well-titled? Probably worth considering these…

I suspect it is going to get increasingly tough to criticize or compare popular AIs on social media because people are increasingly getting somewhat emotionally connected to their model of choice. You aren’t critiquing model ability, you are insulting their helpful buddy.

Easy prediction for 2025 is that the gains in AI model capability will continue to grow much faster than (a) the vast majority of people’s understanding of what AI can do & (b) organizations’ ability to absorb the pace of change. Social change is much slower than technological change.
