Venn Diagrams

You could say that most people who try to create Venn diagrams don’t know what they’re doing, or you could say that most things don’t lend themselves to diagramming in exactly this way. If you don’t know how to use a logical tool, then leave the tool on the shelf and go on with your difficult life. Find some other way to manage. In truth, if perfect honesty is required, the only subject matter that has ever lent itself perfectly to the application of the Venn diagram, since the man Venn was born, bless him, in 1834, and went on to establish this godly triangle which people can use to decide what they really want in life, if they’re willing to take such a majestic instrument and subject it to such a destitute application, the only topic that truly merits diagramming in the Venn way is the Fielding family. So. If for example you’d like to outlines the similarities and differences between dolphins and porpoises, you need to find some other way to do it, because using a Venn diagram will just make you look retarded. If you have got three goals in life and you want to figure out what things you can do to promote these goals, preferably two at once, then a Venn diagram is a stupid way to plan your day. If you want Love in the middle and Relationships in every overlap, then you’re a big mess and pointless too.
