A collection of Mental Models

I personally believe that one needs to arrive at mental models through experience and insight. A sort of personal arrival of synthesis of one's own lived experience, understanding, knowledge, information yielding some sort of lived insight. 

Still, feeding oneself on wisdom of the ages and wisdom of the sages is also a path. A knowing, that is still far away from lived experience or lived understanding. Still, it is a thought, someone else's lived understanding illuminated for you. 

Here is a collection of such mental models from all over the internet:

A couple of good collections - At Farnam Street  (100 models explained) and at James Clear
