yeah this was *super* fun and informative to do and i'd love to go back to doing stuff like this, there's a lot more to trace further back... maybe worth a substack post at some point 🧐

for me among other things it's been part of this whole arc of realizing that like, all the art and fiction and etc. i've consumed my whole life was created *by people*, whose ideas came from *somewhere*; then drawing out the whole influence diagram becomes a natural next step
