"These charts became, by mere chance, the showpiece of the scientific exhibits;
a large number [...] stopped in to see them and to read in the criss-cross of red, black and blue lines the unveiling of the social forces which dominate mankind." - JL Moreno, 1978

[Patrick Davison @patrickdavison]

@OtherWhiteTofu @hollowearths @mikerugnetta what do you mean by "site?"

[Patrick Davison @patrickdavison]
