Tangential: I like the idea of having mnemonics for biases but that they can’t be shared bugs me. I mean they could by publishing ‘standard’ mnemoncs but then they don’t naturally fit in anybodys memory palace—at least not without additional mnemonic work.
So the idea is: Couldn’t we have ‘standardized memory palaces’? At least a few rooms which everybody shares. Kind of like a standard floorplan where everybody knows that the entrance (zero) with the stone floor (appeal to the stone) leads into the kitchen (1) with the sun-bathed flowers (halo effect) - or whatever. A memory palace everybody learns in kindergarten could be a great aid for communication and learning for everybody.
I made a memory palace once; it contains a grand entrance hall, and within that entrance hall is a filing cabinet, and within that filling cabinet is a piece of paper with pictures about what I did on the day I made the memory palace. It’s got remarkable fidelity, but it’s useless unless I put something in it other than, well, that filing cabinet.
What would be a good way for us, as a group, to start creating a standardized memory palace? It would be cool to do this collaboratively somehow.

What do you think?
Woah, I like this idea.

Hmm, this project might be of interest http://cci.mit.edu/deliberatoriumresearchpage.html Wad’ya think of it?
Huh, the screenshot reminds me of this thing that /r/hpmor ended up developing.
