About

I will be compiling a public list about of the questions I would love to ask to The Flashcard Guy. I will be updating the list indefinitely and add the answers when The Flashcard Guy covers them in his videos or comments.

Personal use of SuperMemo

  • How do you get to know SRS? and SuperMemo
  • Did you read Piotr Wozniak writings about learning and memory before trying out SuperMemo?
  • Have you used SuperMemo for school stuff, or just for free learning?
  • Any regrets from decisions you have taken in the past which its effects in your collection were only long-term?
  • Any regrets from decisions you have taken in the past which its effects in your learning were only long-term?
  • What long-term meaningful goals did you achieved due the use of SRS?
  • Do you use SuperMemo for creative domains?
    • and Incremental brainstorming?


15 old streak

  • You state you always finish all the outstanding queue. Then I may guess is, in part, because you have import little volume of information? Consistent but low.
  • Did you use postpone or mercy at all? Or do you do all repetitions strictly when they are scheduled?
  • Will you mind sharing your stats? Basically to get a feeling of the long term use.
  • DO you thing you suffer from the curse of knowledge?

Life as a SuperMemo user

  • Across the 15 years of continuous use, did you tried to introduce people to SuperMemo/Incremental Reading?
    • If positive, any success on retaining them as users?
  • Did you tried other SRS apps after some years after being introduced to SuperMemo? For instance Anki in 2006-08?


Speculating a different present

  • How do you think you will be today, in regard of knowledge, creativity and wisdom acquired, without the use of SuperMemo?
  • How do you think you will be today, relating to creativity, without the use of SuperMemo?


SuperMemo Comunity

  • You said back in the day, there was just a yahoo forum. Later I guess Supermemopedia came into place.
  • Were you aware the the community has grown, and that lead to
    • the SuperMemo Assistant plugins?
    • Supermemo.wiki, user-driven wiki aimed at the beginners?
    • external tools to facilitate the life of SuperMemo users, such asAHK scripts, epub builder, article parser, tutoring sessions,etc?
    • voice chat events in the Discord channel


Familiarization with SuperMemo

  • Which SuperMemo version did you started using?
