- Center_for_Applied_Rationality abstract "The Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR), is an organisation based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Berkeley, California whose focus is to \"[take] the results of cognitive science research, and turn them into techniques that people can practice and use in their own lives.\" It was created in mid-2012, by Julia Galef a statistician, writer, and prominent figure in the skeptic movement, Anna Salamon, an ex-researcher from NASA and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, and two Mathematics PhD holders, Michael Smith and Andrew Critch. CFAR develops and tests strategies of cognitive tools and triggers that are known from research in the field of cognitive science on how people form and change their beliefs. The organisation runs workshops to train people to internalize and use strategies based on the principles of rationality on a more regular basis to improve their reasoning and decision making skills and achieve goals. According to its co-founder and president Julia Galef the term \"Applied\" refers to a practical version of rationality in which people not only know how to be rational but also understand when being rational makes a difference. Among the exercises taught in the three-day workshops are Propagating Urges Goal Factoring, Pre-Hindsight, Murphyjitsu and the Inner Simulator. Galef recommends carrying a surprise journal as a means to confront confirmation bias.As of 2015, the three day workshops are billed at $3,900, this includes meals, lodging and follow ups. A limited amount of financial aid is available.Yudkowsky, curriculum consultant at CFAR, claims it \"pursues, what [he] see[s] as an important common project for the human species, namely taking all humanity's wonderful cognitive science research and trying to translate it into teachable skills for thinking better in real life, doing better in our own lives and the world.\" While assisting in the initial development of CFAR, he claims that he is now largely \"superfluous\" in the organization's management.Galef attempts to differentiate CFAR from the self help movement at large, claiming \"[s]elf-help is often not based on research, but on generalizations from something that worked for the author or for a smattering of people. Books are riddled with confirmation bias and selection bias.\" Whereas CFAR's aims are to use a more rigorous and scientific approach to having accurate beliefs and accomplishing your goals.Galef's activities as a writer, podcaster and president of CFAR are mentioned by the The Atlantic, The Verge, and NPR.".
