This piece isn't even shallow or thin. It is beyond that. Outside of categories like that. It is empty calories. It might taste like knowledge or wisdom, but is just sludge plus aroma. I even think it can't be saved nor edited. That it is lacking the necessary deep substance. And no. Imho it by far isn't destilled knowledge from many sources. I feel it is but a bad facsimile of wisdom. Industrialized (SEO) fast food for the brain. Edit: After clicking further into the site I just realized that this blog post (like many others) is just a piece in the content marketing puzzle. It is just enough to pull in organic search traffic for self optimization and self help people to feed them into the site's funnel for the expected "Never procrastinate again" Notion Dashboard that is sold by the site.

Adblock is no longer enough. It is time for contentblock.

I don't know what you expected from clicking a link as abstractly named as "Mental model examples". Join us next time for the follow-up blog post, "Kinds of Things That There Are, and their Explanations"

  Mental models are a perfectly interesting part of experimental cognitive psychology, no need to attack them over that post.

These mental models don’t really stand alone but may be useful lenses through which to look at a particular problem. In that sense I view them as somewhat valuable stimulus. “It’s just a drawer full of different sized Allen keys” Sure, but one of them might help you put that ikea bed together.
