I tried to mindmap my understanding of things. Very basic and got plenty of errors I'm sure - but gives a sort of picture in the way I see things. I would like to readjust and expand, so if you have any critique or just want to share your own mind I welcome you to do so.

I heard women have more connections in-between the left and the right...

Did you see the foot ?

Can you explain the "?" (the one below god, at left) ?
Are you clean ?

Looks like a good tool for brainstorming, but seems like it would lose its usefulness when you actually have to get down to planning and specific details.

Didn't see the foot.
the "?" symbolises "we/I don't know" which would be the standard agnostic response to the question how the universe spontaneously expanded into existence. And so I tried to mindmap the sort of things which are in play within the human capacity to perceive reality. A sort of epistemology from the beginning to the present of our individual life, that tells a man who isn't afraid of the Light that intuively there is a God.
That is sort of the discussion I wanted to have. And so I welcome you to make a mindmap that would paint a picture with the way you make sense of reality.

That's true. I prefer to do it on paper, good for integrating new concepts and ideas in one's attempt and ability to connect meaning and understanding to new knowledge. Making a memory palace could be the next thing!

Ah nice, i'm glad you finally decided to write the word "Agnostic" on your keyboard after 2 years: Agnostics can still have faith you know ? Faith in going forward in a non-self-destructive direction...
I posted the way i make sense of the reality; brain map, maybe it is tangent to something superior if you want, like god or something incredible we can't understand yet.

You can also consider to draw 1 single brick and name it "god". The simpler the better.

Unfortunately brain scheme is only a summary of inputs/outputs because writing the full process on a 2D plan could be equivalent of creating the algorithm of "human IA" (including all the learning/identity building part) GL with this modelization.

Better late than never! It is a pretty cool portrayal of the mind and what it means to be human. And you're right that our experience as humans are way to complex to put into systems of mindmaps etc. However, I do feel it does help in the more technical departments in making a more clear and coherent line of thought.
Interesting what you say about something superior, like a mind? Why if I may ask, is it that you reject the nature of God as revealed in the Bible? What do you think of people like C. S. Lewis who went from being an atheist to become one of the most influential Christian writers?

If by that you mean "one of the most influential writers who was also a Christian" then I agree, but not within the realm of Christian theology.

This is mostly work flow charts, you can use Visio for MSOffice or Draw for LibreOffice; it's useful to write a systems architecture document for your engineers, or a simple basic procedure for your operators.
"Superior" was meant for what is beyond our comprehension and not an old bearded patriarch. C. S. Lewis can justify his work for ideological reasons: the necessity of moral values in society, good vs evil etc... The most decent one being our famous democrat-socialist Jesus, sharing bread and little fishes, non-violence, tolerant etc... Unfortunately it gave mixed results as we can see today, but i'm not totally against it.

You can write yourself a diagram to convert /argue with "no believers"...
