It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about.

We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word.

Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...

Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in.
