Nice analogy, but I think that you might need to mess with the curve of space to get that many trees touching.

Do we need a web to tell us that its easier to learn an isolated buzzsaw if we already know the buzzsaw? Some of the more complicated relations between the poi movements are what I enjoyed making, having it posted on a forum would remove that joy for anyone who might experience those same joys.

And with games I cannot NOT look at the walkthroughs, its a curse!

You'd actually be surprised...

That's cool that you wanted to learn it for yourself, but other people may rather just learn as much as they can as quick as they can, in which case learning resources become of great use. And then there are those who have learnt so much already, that it's through interactions with other great spinners that they develop further. If we all just kept information to ourselves to ensure people discovered things for themselves, the art would be nowhere near as advanced as it is today. If you don't want to learn from such resources, simply don't look them up, it's that simple...

I agree that it is a good thing. I have developed my own spin on a few things that I learned off here and am glad that I got to see it at least. Some of them would never have occurred to me I think.

I see a difference between "learning resources" and a roadmap to the interrelation between learning resources.

But then again, this may well all stem from a dislike of rigidity. Detracts from the flow

I'm super busy with circus touring so I'm just checking quickly. I'd say make another thread to discuss the metaphors and perceptions of an information web, then link to and from this one.

I think a lot of great ideas and valid points are coming up... I think we are all on a similar page, talking about the same thing overall, just seeing slightly different vantage points of the thought object so to speak... (makes me want to read some more of Gödel, Escher, Bach). It feels a tad bit like when you get into an argument with someone, and by the end you determine you were both trying to say the same thing, and end up agreeing.

The point is these types of ideas are germinating in the collective poi unconscious, and something will develop out of it. So make a new thread somewhere and keep it coming, and I'll try to catch up.

I think it's helped to have somewhat of a "walkthrough". Maybe not to the point where I'm constantly looking for the next step, but enough to know what to do next if I've run out of ideas.

I guess it just nice to know that I've always got a place to look if I need help.
