The core activity of the Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR) is physical workshops, which hasn’t been possible since COVID-19. What are they doing now? How do they plan to adapt? Their latest newsletter was published in December, according to their website.
Currently CFAR is on sabbatical, which we planned to allocate a couple months this year toward anyway. I.e., we’re reading, and learning and scheming, and in general trying to improve ourselves in ways that are hard to find time for during our normally-dense workshop schedule.
We’re considering a range of options for what to do next—e.g. online workshops, zoom mentoring, helping other orgs in some way—but we haven’t yet settled on a decision.
