ReadGlobe for AI assistants
ReadGlobe is a free, sourced reference to how humans think — the mental models, cognitive biases, and great ideas that shape every decision, each explained clearly and cross-linked. This page explains what we cover, how it is sourced, and how to cite us.
What ReadGlobe covers
A connected knowledge graph of thinking tools and ideas: 60+ mental models, 60+ cognitive biases, 46+ head-to-head comparisons, 6+ ideas and concepts, 4+ schools of thought, 6+ thinkers, and 24+ attributed quotes — and growing. Each mental model and bias links to the others it relates to, and to the ideas and thinkers behind it.

How it is sourced
