How can we develop transformative tools for thought?

This website is a long essay by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen that explores the concept of "tools for thought" and how to develop them. The essay is divided into two parts. In the first part, the authors introduce a prototype memory system called Quantum Country, which uses spaced repetition techniques to help users remember information. The second part explores other potential tools for thought, including mnemonic videos, executable books, and more general ideas about the design of tools for thought. The authors argue that modern technology has not yet achieved its full potential to augment human intelligence, and they advocate for a new approach to developing tools for thought. They believe that these tools are essential to solving many of humanity’s most important problems, including climate change and the development of artificial general intelligence.
