These Graphs Show Universal Truths

Posted on March 27, 2008 - Filed Under Thought Starters

I have written previously on information design and how by representing information in a graphical way, it is easier to understand. I believe that I have come across a couple of universal truths over the past couple of weeks. Instead of sharing them with you in a long-winded article, I thought that it would serve you (the audience) better if I put the lessons in a graphical context.


Props to Dan, who showed me the Venn diagram.

    I don’t get it…so you’re never truly happy unless you’re not wearing pants?? And those aren’t mutually exclusive?

    I’d like to see what happens when you go Booze + Weed at the same time.

    Well…I know what happens when these are enjoyed together…I would just like to see it in graphical form.

    LP - Yup, it’s mutually exclusive. A man can never be truly happy when wearing pants. It’s a comfort thing.

    Hamid - Thanks! All of my years of Excel training have been put to good use.

    Chris - I contemplated the Booze/Weed graph. However, whenever I attempted to do “research” to gather the appropriate data points, I forgot what I was doing and just watched Entourage.
