Are you interested in mentitation—visualization, memory palaces, developing a practical craft of “learning how to learn?”
What I think would take this to the next level would be developing an exchange of practices.
I sit around studying, come up with mentitation ideas, test them on myself, and post them here if they work.
But right now, I don’t get feedback from other people who try them out. I also don’t get suggestions from other people with things to try.
Suggestions are out there, but the devil’s in the details, and I think what’s needed is live exchange, not just myself reading other people’s books in isolation. If mentitation is going to be most helpful, it needs a way of talking about it that actually works to convey ideas and motivate practice. It also needs the vetting process that can only happen when you make (or take) a suggestion, try it out, report the result, and modify the work in light of that.
Right now, that social feedback loop is absent, and I’d love to get it started.
