I’ve been using TheBrain since it first came out in December of 1997, and as of March 2023 have over 534,000 Thoughts (nodes) in this one Brain, interconnected by over 1,120,000 links. All entered by hand, by me. Yes, it’s the world’s largest. Imagine if the bookmarks you struggle to maintain in your browser were all woven into a rich context, easily accessible and editable. That’s a glimpse of what this is.
