1) You could start with a good paper and download all its references. Than skim those and download their references.
2) Bulk download all papers (100 TB, 4 weeks, Sci-Hub, preferably in a country where this is legal) and search all those with a local search like Apple Spotlight.
3) Go through HN comments and download its linked papers https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=morphle https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=morphle
4) Follow Alan Kay, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan, Stephen J. Gould, The Royal Institution, Stanford EE380, Nasa, Sabrina Hossenfelder, James Mickens and scrape/download their recommendations
5) Start a startup that automates this for everyone. I have written most of the scripts

- abudabi123 4y agoI am sure there are many groups researching the mathematical properties of structures found in (living) nature (think patterns in fungi growth, selfoptimization of bone structure for weight and stability, paths in ant colonies or anything else in that fashion), but I just can't find any current projects in this field. There is a yt channel for the Washington Philosophy Society. They have interesting talks by invited guests. You could then drill down into their published works. Research papers are scored. The best get recognized by something like asters. You could look that way.
