          This was an excellent read, thank you! I'm curious - has been any research into any potential long-term risks of using spaced repetition extensively?

          Not that I know of. Spaced-repetition is, of course, very similar to what experts do to become expert (regular study). So I guess it'd be much like studying the downsides of becoming an expert.

          And your incredible essay was, of course, one of the main inspirations for me making a project about Spaced Repetition in the first place!

          Amazing essay! I especially like how you explain applying Anki to actual work and not just classroom studies. I’m inspired to write up how my use of Anki was very different in grad school (e.g papers) vs Med school.

          I think the key question now though isn’t how should we remember. We have the tool. The much hard question is “what should I remember?” Or, “what needs to be in my head vs. in my personal external brain”

          I’m trying to figure out my own personal rules about what what gets Anki-fied and what stays in my archives (a plain-text Zettelkasten). Work in progress. Anki is not without a time cost. Best to be ultra selective about what stays in my head.
