Reading other materials from the Focusing institute, etc.
Ego and what to do about it
Byron Katie’s The Work (I’m familiar with this from years ago, it has an epistemic core (one key question is “Is this true?”), and PJ EBY mentioned using this process with clients.)
I might check out Eckhart Tolle’s work again (which I read as a teenager)
Learning
Mostly iteration as I learn things on the object level, right now, but I’ve read a lot on deliberate practice, and study methodology, as well as learned general learning methods from mentors, in the past.
Talking with Brienne.
Part of this project will probably include a lit review on spacing effects and consolidation.
General rationality and stuff:
reading Artificial Intelligence: a Modern Approach
reading David Deutsch’s the Beginning of Infinity
rereading IQ and Human Intelligence
The Act of Creation
Old Micheal Vassar talks on youtube
Thinking about the different kinds of knowledge creation, and how rigorous argument (mathematical proof, engineering schematics) work.
I mostly read a lot of stuff, without a strong expectation that it will be right.
Some sampling of things that I’m currently investigating / interested in (mostly not for CFAR), and sources that I’m using:
Power and propaganda
reading the Dictator’s Handbook and some of the authors’ other work.
reading Kissinger’s books
rereading Samo’s draft
some “evil literature” (an example of which is “things Brent wrote”)
thinking and writing
Disagreement resolution and conversational mediation
I’m currently looking into some NVC materials
lots and lots of experimentation and iteration
Focusing, articulation, and aversion processing
Mostly iteration with lots of notes.
Things like PJ EBY’s excellent ebook.

Thanks for writing this up. Added a few things to my reading list and generally just found it inspiring.
