Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Perform literature reviews in psychology, cognitive science, and related fields, develop tools based on these reviews that help individuals and groups in a practical way with clear thinking and decision-making, and teach these tools to individuals and groups that show promise in using tools to philanthropic ends.

Perform and conduct research into individual, collective, and artificial cognition. Do this research by: a) searching for ideas on how to align machine intelligence, and for useful ideas on how to improve the reasoning of both individual humans and groups of humans; b) test whether the ideas for one port to the others; c) test our ideas through targeted educational experiments, research workshops, physical research centres, and online research fora; d) collaborate with external researchers in related fields.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0MAIN WORKSHOPS - CFAR HAS PERFORMED LITERATURE REVIEWS IN PSYCHOLOGY, COGNITIVE SCIENCE, AND RELATED FIELDS IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A RANGE OF MENTAL TECHNIQUES DESIGNED TO HELP IMPROVE CLARITY OF THINKING AND DECISION-MAKING, AND INCREASE INTERNAL ALIGNMENT TOWARDS GOALS. OUR WORKSHOPS ARE 4-DAY IMMERSIVE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO TEACH PARTICIPANTS THESE TECHNIQUES IN A PRACTICAL WAY. THE WORKSHOP CONSISTS MOSTLY OF LECTURES AND EXERCISES, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPANTS TO TRAIN EACH OTHER ON THE TECHNIQUES.

OUR TRAINING PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF WEEKEND WORKSHOPS FOR ALUMNI VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND SO THEY CAN DEVELOP THE SKILL SET TO BE MENTORS OR INSTRUCTORS FOR OUR WORKSHOPS. TRAINING SOMETIMES ALSO INCLUDES CFAR STAFF MEMBERS ATTENDING CONFERENCES AND OTHER EVENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE PRIMARY RESEARCH AND TRAIING PROJECT OF 2019 WAS OUR INSTRUCTOR TRAINING PROGRAM WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO TRAIN MORE PEOPLE TO TEACH OUR MATERIAL AT THE MAIN WORKSHOPS.
