How To Analyze The World

1. Take a stack of paper. Label each sheet with a topic you are interested in. For example, "Peace" or "Drought." Lay all these pieces of paper out on a table. Go to your sources and gradually fill each piece of paper. Finally, label each section: Section 1, Section 2, Section 2.1 etc. Ignore cross-links. Publish report.

OR

2. Use DebateGraph, which is free-to-use.

DebateGraph lets us layout multiple linear narratives in space simultaneously. Having gotten a particular dynamic map we built in our heads out onto the computer screen we can then turn out attention not only to this particular forest but also to other forests and the connection between them. In other words, we can turn our attention to global thinking.  

DebateGraph makes hard thinking easier (see cross-link to related article).

DebateGraph has other advantages (see the cross-link to the Features and Benefits map).

Three more points:

1. Knowledge, like light, is both wave and particle.

Reports are particles. DebateGraph maps are waves; cross-linked to other maps at any depth, and always ready to be reopened and updated *by multiple authors* (since DebateGraph is built around community).

2. It's better to map and *then* share using the Share > Social Media menu. Mapping first and then sharing means you preserve the information you want to share and also provide context.

3. DebateGraph will let you condense a map into a report using Document View, if you so choose.
