Feedbackloop-first Rationality
What?
At this month's Rationalish, we will be trying to implement some ideas from the blog post on Feedbackloop-first Rationality. We will alternate between trying 'Thinking Physics' problems and reflecting on the efficacy of the cognition used.
Testing specific 'cognitive techniques' on the 'Thinking Physics' problems is encouraged, and information on some will be provided. Feel free to find / design your own to test too. (Some examples at the bottom).
When?
This will go from 3pm - 5pm. But you can show up from 2pm, and stay later to chat.
Who?
This event is for anyone interested in improving their rationality, no matter your current level. Having an understanding of some of the core ideas of (applied) rationality will help you get more out of the event.
