Upcoming CFAR Workshop: September 30th to October 4th, SF Bay Area

Hello from CFAR!We’re happy to announce that we have an upcoming workshop on the schedule -- we will be holding one of our applied rationality workshops from September 30th to October 4th in the San Francisco Bay Area.Like the two workshops we ran in late 2025/early 2026, this workshop will be an updated version of CFAR’s classic mainline workshops, featuring both classes from the traditional CFAR curriculum (TAPs, Inner Simulator, Goal Factoring, Resolve Cycles, etc.) as well as some new material that we’ve been developing and are excited to teach! Also like our classic workshops, this program will last for about 4.5 days – participants will arrive Wednesday evening and depart Sunday night or Monday morning. These will be immersive, on-site experiences with lots of conversation and activities into the evenings, so please only apply if you’ll be able to attend in person. The first half of the workshop will be packed with classes (mostly “classics” but with some new material as well), while the second half will focus on helping participants integrate new skills with their preexisting skills and everyday life.Our aim is to have this workshop feel like a mini-convention for rationalist hobbyists, with both classic rationality material and insights from other philosophical traditions. If you want more detail on the workshop, check out Anna’s earlier LessWrong post on what our new workshops are going for and the workshop FAQ on our website.If you’re interested in applying to the workshop, you can do so here.Thanks and hope to see some of you there!Discuss
