What do you think - "Writing as a tool for though is overrated"?
Rethink Writing: Think Visually, Your Brain is Not Linear
Do you use such visuals in your ZK or other system?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you can't properly express your idea using text without visuals?
What do you think overall about message in the video?

Yes, frequently. I treat visualisation as another language or medium that I can use to map an idea.
Many of my ideas are mapped by complementing text and visuals.
I wouldn't say that I couldn't express an idea, but the visual representation lead to yet another layer of depth of processing. This is a slide for the ZK101 that should be telling a lot:
Too strong stated, I think. However, it might be because he submitted a bit too much to the medium (YouTube) which nudges towards overly strong positions. So, it might be just an issue of presentation.
However, I wouldn't put one above the other, because each have their benefit for different phases and different materials.
But I highly agree that the visual approach is underutilised or at least underrepresented.

Apologies if this is off topic. Visual understanding is interesting stuff.
I struggle with math, for example, and my best understanding comes from math as geometry.
For instance, the algebra to show that (a+b)^2-4ab=(a-b)^2 is easy enough, but it gets falling-off-a-log simple if you draw that as Pythagorean twisted squares.
@Sascha
Are they in your ZK notes as attached images or how do you implement those?
They are embedded like his:

Just today Paul Graham posted this, somewhat related to the title (and Zettelkasten for that matter).
