I'd like to see an anki deck that trains for a sort of conversational recital of interesting results in science. Often you might have a general, vague idea of the result for a piece of research, but you don't know the details that lend you gravitas in reciting them. For example, if you know the main author, the university, the decade, and so on, you come off as very knowledgeable. Whereas, if you just start off saying something like "Y'know, scientists found that bees dance to communicate," you can immediately see in their body language that they're thinking, "uh huh uh... what the fuck is this crackpot, idiot talking about?"
You're infinitely more credible if you say something like, "So, this Austrian ethologist and Nobel laureate, Karl von Frisch, observed in the late 60s that bees dance to communicate..."
Spaced repetition is a powerful learning tactic, and Anki is a good tool for it. There are some LW-relevant Anki decks here. But I wish there were more.
Which sets of knowledge are (1) likely useful to LWers, and (2) straightforward to encode into Anki decks without needing to be familiar with that field?
Some examples:
Which other sets of knowledge would you like to see Ankified? Please link to the actual knowledge set you'd like to see encoded.
