Paul at Mind Map Inspiration put forth the bold notion that mind mapping holds the key to solving many of the world’s problems. Well I have to agree wholeheartedly.

No, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. The mind map snapshot above is intentionally blurred because it represents a very personal problem solving session. Okay, so what’s the point in showing the map then? Well, take a look at the mind map’s node colors first, and we’ll get back to the map in a moment. [...]
