teaching thousands of people how to organize their study time better.
Given the amount of akrasia in this community I’m not sure we are at a point where we have a good basis on lecturing other people about this.
Given the current urge propagtion exercise a lot of people who got it taught in person and who have the CFAR texts can’t do it successfully. Iterating on it till it reaches a form that people can take and use would be good.
But I still suspect that the CFAR approach is to a large degree influenced by “how we expect people in academia to behave”.
From my understanding CFAR doesn’t want to convince academia directly and isn’t planning on running any trials themselves at the moment that they will publish.
Actually, the whole current CFAR could continue to be the first group; the only necessary thing would be to cooperate with the second one.
I would appreciate if CFAR would publish their theories publically in writting sooner but I hope the will publish in the next year.
I don’t have access to the CFAR mailing list and I understand that they do get feedback on their writing via the mailing list at the moment.
The first group would keep inventing better and better advice (more or less what CFAR is doing now).
CFAR very recently renamed implentation intentions into Trigger Action Plans (TAP’s). If we already would have marketed implentation intentions widely as vocabulary it would be harder to change the vocabulary.
You should multiply the benefit from the advice by the number of people that will receive the advice.
Landmark reaches quite a lot of people and most of their core ideas aren’t written down in small articles. Scientology would be another organisation that tries to do most idea communication in person. It still reached a lot of people.
When doing Quantified Self community building in Germany, the people who came to our meetups mostly didn’t came because of mainstream media but other sources. It got to the point of another person telling me that giving media interviews is just for fun and not community building.
