I am currently reading the sequence "How to actually change your mind" and while I understand most of the concepts and things discussed, I often miss clear and easy to remember instructions and tasks to actually become better at what was just explained and discussed. It won't sink in and integrate in the daily life that easy this way. (Though it is helping if you re-read HPMOR and recognize many of the experiments and concepts when HP explains things).

And if I understood the article correctly, it kind of says exactly that when it speaks of instrumental rationality vs epistemic rationality.

This made me curious about CFAR.

Thanks for the article :)
