Anna - Why should people donate to CFAR when you are personally part of an ongoing conspiracy to cover up evidence of statutory rape by CFAR and MIRI board members?

In case LWers are wondering why MIRI didn't post to LW about its own fundraising drive, that's because we already finished it.

Also, if your employer does corporate matching (check here) and you haven't used it all up yet and you'd like to donate to CFAR, remember to do so before January 1st so that your corporate matching for 2014 doesn't go unused!

I donated $4,000 the other week (or I will have once the check clears).

we realized we had reached a local optimum and become stuck...So then we smashed everything with a hammer...and we think we're now out of the local optimum

Suggestion: A unit on identifying and escaping bad local optima, if you don't have one already. It seems to me that an awful lot of people-years are lost to situations that are sub-par but painful to get out of (e.g. crappy jobs).

Attention Workshop: A 2.5-day workshop on clearing mental space. This failed and taught us some important points about what doesn’t work.

I'd be curious to see a post-mortem on this and other failed efforts. I like that CFAR is willing to acknowledge when it's screwed up. That I don't find this willingness terribly surprising says some nice things about the LW-sphere it pulls from.

My wife and I are monthly donors, and here's to CFAR having a great 2015! I'd also love to talk about potential collaborations between CFAR and Intentional Insights as we get our own infrastructure and internal operations set up well in the next month or two.

Love hearing about how much CFAR has learned in 2014 and your aggressive 2015 goals. Thanks for the look into your operations and the reminder to donate!
