Goal-Factoring was first called “use fungibility”, a technique I taught within a class called “microeconomics 1” at the CFAR 2012 minicamps prior to Geoff doing any teaching.
As a participant of Rationality Minicamp in 2012, I confirm this. Actually, found the old textbook, look here!
Okay, so, that old textbook does not look like a picture of goal-factoring, at least not on that page. But I typed “goal-factoring” into my google drive and got up these old notes that used the word while designing classes for the 2012 minicamps. A rabbithole, but one I enjoyed so maybe others will.
