Cafe Meetup 1/31: Applied Rationality Techniques

Author: Silas Barta
Categories: Events

Coming off the heels of a local CFAR workshop, I’ll lead us in practicing some applied rationality techniques:

Resolve Cycles: Setting a timer to see how much of an important goal you can accomplish within the limit.

Pride/Self-Recognition: Turning everyday annoyances into a part of your identity you can be proud of.

Finding Cruxes: Probing the basis of your beliefs by asking what it would take to change them.

Time allowing, we will do more of the CFAR techniques, or save them for another meetup.

***

The meetup is at Central Market, 4001 N. Lamar, in the cafe area. Look for the LW and SSC signs. People start arriving at 1:30 pm, and the main activity (such as it is) will begin at 2:30 pm. Please follow in-store signs and guidance.
