    • "I’ve been using [[TheBrain]] since it first came out in December of 1997, and as of April 2020 (mid-lockdown!) have over 420,000 Thoughts ([[nodes]]) in this one Brain, interconnected by over 775,000 links. All entered by hand. Yes, it’s the world’s largest."

This is [[Jerry]]'s home page on Rel8

You can discover a lot about him on his LinkedIn page and /now page.

Some relevant bits here:

Jerry curates the world's largest man-made mind map, which began when he was briefed by the makers of TheBrain about their new app. He started using it 24+ years ago, and never looked back. More about it at [[Jerry's Brain]].

The data in Jerry's Brain is a great starter for "inoculating" [[The Big Fungus]], a metaphoric way of thinking about our emergent shared memory.

Jerry would like to write a next-generation book titled [[What If We Trusted You]].

He's also created placeholder websites for initiatives that ought to exist, such as:

• The Betterverse
• The Weaving the World podcast
