Part One: Chapter Two: What is a Picture? (Part 3)
- Television was predicted by Marshall McLuhan to bring about radical changes in Western society by shifting from linear to nonlinear modes of consuming information.
- Print is considered a linear medium, while a picture allows the viewer to visually wander and perceive relationships nonlinearly.
- Pictures present unity of integrated relationships in a glance, guiding the viewer's attention through compositional devices.
- The distinction between linear and nonlinear in media is not absolute, seen in examples like poems and hyperfiction.
- Pictures have the unique ability to directly convey certain qualities of objects, such as color.
- Pictures, like maps, aim to convey specific relationships and details, leaving out unnecessary distractions.
- Maps are created with a particular perspective and goal in mind, conveying specific information like subway maps.
- Verbal descriptions lack the immediate impact of pictures but offer detailed information that cannot be easily shown visually.
- Pictures have the ability to make objects virtually present, engaging viewers in a way that words may not.
- Pictures and text represent information differently, with pictures showing relationships at a glance while text delves into details step by step.

Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin’s 2025 Bottom—How Low Can BTC Go?
- Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes sees $76,500 as a critical support level for Bitcoin, and if it remains above that mark until April 15, stability will return.

- Hayes believes that U.S. monetary policy, including restarting money printing, will result in a flood of dollars entering the system, providing support for Bitcoin.
- Hayes suggests that relaxing banking rules and Treasury buying could unlock billions for Bitcoin, leading to a climb to $110,000 even before a retest of the $76,500 low.
