I remember that was parodied by "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" in 2010 (the vegan character had superpowers thanks to his pure dietary choices).

I wonder if the reaction to the first wave of obnoxious veganism is reflected in the dip between 2010 and 2012.

I think so. It's a little misleading, because we judge size by looking at the area, not the height.

Tsar Bomba had ~3x more energy than Castle Bravo, but the graphic gives it 3^2 times as much area.

Hey, don't take it personally! Thanks for making the content.

It's weird to me because I don't really know how the circles relate to the concepts. When you are in the fear zone (orange circle), is the "comfort zone" also supposed to be included in the orange circle? I'd instead think of it as moving away from a comfort zone and into a fear zone.

I guess I do like the idea that the "growth" zone is literally the biggest, and that when you are in the growth zone you still have elements of "learning" and "fear".

This is a really weird graphic.
