It seems that lesswrong was (before it became mostly AI content) essentially just a massive compilation of such intellectual life hacks. If you filter by the right tags (Rationality?) it should still be usable for this purpose. Have you determined that there is not currently a good centralized table of this kind of content?
On a quick search, I couldn’t find such a repo. I agree that this is/was the heart of Lesswrong, but what I’m aiming for is more specific than ‘any cool intellectual thing’. A lot of LW’s posts are about contrarian viewpoints, or very particular topics. I’m looking for well-known but surprising stuff, to develop common knowledge.
Should feel like: ‘OMG, everyone should know [INSERT YOUR TRICK]’

The Sequences? Not quite what you’re looking for, but that’s what I have always thought of as the essentials of LW (before the AI explosion).
Why, the Practical tag (https://www.lesswrong.com/w/practical) has a lot of cool stuff like this.
