963 mental models from every discipline, each with example scenarios and prompts for your favorite LLM.

Hello again, friends. It's been a minute! 👋 Charlie Munger had this idea that you should carry a "latticework" of mental models in your head so you can grab the right one for whatever's in front of you. A mental model is basically a simplified picture in your head of how something works. They can help you predict what'll happen without knowing every detail. I spun up Latticework.page so you can build your own latticework from 963 mentals models (and counting) from some of the greatest thinkers to ever live! It's free and you don't need an account to browse. I built it because I thought it'd be fun and I wanted a simple, nice-looking way to browse a bunch of mental models with examples. Also added a feature to copy prompts for your favorite LLMs. It's open-source so submit a PR to add your favorites <3 Tim

love the breadth here, honestly really useful for breaking out of my usual thinking patterns. one thing i'd suggest is adding a way to save the prompts i've already used or liked somewhere, like a small personal shelf, so i don't have to scroll back through hundreds of models to find that one i used last week

love how you can jump straight from a mental model into a ready-made prompt for your LLM, basically cuts out all the busywork between thinking about a concept and actually applying it
