Reading the Sequences has improved my epistemic rationality, but not so much my instrumental rationality. What are some resources that would help me with this? Googling is not especially helping. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Attend a CFAR workshop!
I think many people would find this advice rather impractical. What about people who (1) cannot afford to pay USD3900 to attend the workshop (as I understand it, scholarships offered by CFAR are limited in number), and/or (2) cannot afford to spend the time/money travelling to the Bay Area?
We do offer a number of scholarships. If that's your main concern, apply and see what we have available. (Applying isn't a promise to attend). If the distance is your main problem, we're coming to NYC and you can pitch us to come to your city.
First of all, the question was "what are some resources," not "what should I do." A CFAR workshop is one option of many (although it's the best option I know of). It's good to know what your options are even if some of them are difficult to take. Second, that scholarships are limited does not imply that they do not exist. Third, the cost should be weighed against the value of attending, which I personally have reason to believe is quite high (disclaimer: I occasionally volunteer for CFAR).
