Discussion article for the meetup : Retelling stuff from CFAR Epistemic Rationality for EA
WHEN: 01 June 2014 03:00:00PM (-0400)
WHERE: National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC 20001, USA
One of our members will be talking about things he learned at the CFAR Epistemic Rationality for Effective Altruists event.
Topics may include:
-
"5 minute exercises"—basically a way to practice the skill in this post.
-
"Case studies"—people can volunteer beliefs they want to have challenged/refined, and everyone else asks them questions.
-
Aversion factoring for epistemic rationality habits
I should disclaim that this is my interpretation and not a complete account or likely to be quite the way they taught it or will teach it in the future.
I still expect it to be high-value for anyone who actually wants to practice the art of rationality, and not just talk about it.
