Share flashcards not for copying, but as inspiration

Common knowledge: the best flashcards are those you make yourself.

Some years back, I thought I could compromise, on content I had already read and understood. I tried to integrate some pre-made #lesswrong decks from www.stafforini.com/blog/anki-decks-by-lesswrong-users/. But they were not fun to review. The cards were not how I'd have written them, had the wrong emphasis, flagrantly violated Wozniak's 20 rules, etc…

So now I maintain a deck that's purely my own creation. Better.

Is sharing decks pointless then?

I think not. When summarizing an article/book in flashcards, I sometimes wonder what other people have made out of the same article/book. I'd like to see them. Not to copy verbatim, just get ideas for what questions I can pose to myself.
