The visual cortex is one of the largest and most powerful cortices in the human brain.<p>But it may be that vision&#x27;s supposed to work in conjunction with the other senses.<p>I think visual explanations work well for very simple visuals. As soon as higher order factors need to be factored-in, visual explanations are only sensible to the highly trained expert (think Feynman diagrams).<p>Nice essay, nevertheless. A lot of time and work went into it, and I can appreciate that.
