There's no evidence that it actually works, so by their own standards it's snake oil.

They've pivoted into Center for Recruiting People into the MIRI Cult.

Free market in ideas! Intellectual diversity is good! Don't go to MIRI like everyone else, FFS!

I attended one of their weekend workshops, waaay back in the day. Like 5 or so years ago.

Long story short, it didn't help me and the networking opportunities were negligible, but hey, at least I was so poor that they got me in on a scholarship, so at least I didn't spend any money to find out that the self-help was abstract snake oil.

I'd rather attend a center for applied irrationality.

Just think of all the fun.

Ironically they don't use the methods they teach to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods they teach.

It's snake oil.

is big-r Rationality simply a form of mental masturbation?

What I can gather from LW and related crowds is their user bases are Low-EQ introvert shut-ins, dorky STEM college students and polyamorous fan fiction writers that need something distracting to think about.

Chad has never once questioned his beliefs or actions, he was born an irrational winner and will die as one. The Rationalist Virgin is stuck in xis head ruminating over self-doubt and inferiority/superiority complexes, mental models and cognitive biases etc, and consistently fails at life. (This is 100% true, don't overanalyse it).

it's post-munchhausens (trilemma and syndrome). you cannot logically overcome autism, but you can self-overcome via will-to-power.

would you rather wallow in this wretched tranny-hive or ascend to save The West

having a center for applied rationality is good idea but the one that exists under the name is a failure mode THAT WAS WARNED ABOUT IN THE SEQUENCES from the start

and they're employing a literal christian sometimes, a previously sane person who fell into the woo, and a schoolteacher who thinks abuse makes people stronk

burn it the fuck to the ground and salt the earth it grew on

CFAR is pure cancer that has the side effect of convincing autistic manchildren that Someone is taking 'rationality' seriously. The reality is that nobody seems to be and the entire LW memeplex is this fucked wasteland where nobody has ever heard of Google Scholar.
