Great curation! Particularly loved the bits on storytelling as I've been trying to analyze my writing of late. On the infographics point, there's this thing called cognitive load theory which says the lower the cognitive load, the better the retention. And one specific load, called extraneous load, relates to how information is presented and to instructional design. Scott Young is very good at this.

Agree. Great infographics like great writeups are sharp & focused. Like writing, it will take a lot of practice & iterations to reach that level of mastery. But then inherently with their visual appeal & freedom to use more dimensions (space, colour, shapes etc) they can be more expressive than a writeup.
